The USB-C interface is a versatile connector supporting data transfer, video output, and power delivery, but its capabilities can vary widely:
1. Data Transfer Speed
USB 2.0: Up to 480 Mbps, found in older devices.
USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.0): Up to 5 Gbps for general use.
USB 3.2 Gen 2: Up to 10 Gbps for faster transfers.
USB4: Up to 40 Gbps, similar to Thunderbolt 3/4.
2. Power Delivery
USB-PD: Supports up to 100W for charging laptops and other devices.
Standard USB-C: Typically supports up to 15W for smaller devices.
3. Video Output
DisplayPort Alt Mode: Enables video output up to 4K or 8K.
Non-Alt Mode: No video output, only data and power.
4. Thunderbolt Compatibility
Thunderbolt 3/4: Supports up to 40 Gbps, multiple 4K displays, and enhanced power delivery.
Standard USB-C: Lacks Thunderbolt’s advanced features.
5. Implementation Variability
Not all USB-C ports support every feature; capabilities depend on the device.
In short, while USB-C connectors look the same, their functionality can differ significantly, so it's important to check specific device features.
