      He’s right though?

      USB-C does NOT in any way specify capabilities or transfer specifications. It only specifies the form factor of the plug.

      The plug can be used for any number of things from USB2.0 or ThunderBolt4, to power transfer, hells, even things like analog audio can use the plug.

      Is what your comment did.

      The connector is a usb-c connector. That is not the standard, just the connector type friend

          Literally the second sentence in your own source:

          The designation C refers only to the connector’s physical configuration or form factor and should not be confused with the connector’s specific capabilities, which are designated by its transfer specifications (such as USB 3.2).

          Ok. Since we’re circumcising a mosquito here.

          The type c designation only refers to the form factor.

          That’s all.

          Type c does not refer to its capabilities.

          I am willing to bet you’ll find that information very early in what you linked me.

      Could you elaborate? Because I’m like… 90% you’re wrong. Oc is correct. The “c” in type c referred to the connector. Just like micro-b mini-b usb A,etc. USB 3 is the speed standard. As well as 3.1 (or 3.2 gen 1 it’s called now or some other silliness), 3.2 gen 2, etc.

      There are usb C cables that can do video, audio, some that have thunderbolt speeds. There are also usb c cables that only support usb 2.0. So if you can elaborate on why you believe otherwise, id appreciate it. the usb consortium has ridiculous conventions and I’m no hardware specialist. My knowledge on these is from USB consortiums training when I was a salesman.
