24-pin USB connector system
USB‑C, or USB Type‑C, is a 24-pin reversible connector that supersedes all previous USB connectors, which were designated legacy in 2014. This connector also supersedes Mini DisplayPort and Lightning connectors. USB-C is widely used for multiple purposes: exchanging data with peripheral devices, such as external drives, mobile phones, keyboards, track-pads, and mice, or between hosts; transferring A/V-data to displays and speakers; or powering peripheral devices and getting powered by power adapters, either through directly wired connectors or indirectly via hubs and docking stations.
