Everything Wrong With USB-C Cables | Untangled
Рет қаралды 3,284,436
5 жыл бұрынUSB-C has caused a lot of confusion. As Apple and other companies push to include only USB-C ports consumers are left with a lot of headaches. Two USB-C cables that look the same can transfer data and power at different speeds. And not all USB-C to headphone jack adapters are compatible. It's time to clear up the confusion and find the right cable for your device.

This is not the issue at all. If there were simple tiers of ability like USB 2.0, 3.0 etc. that'd be one thing, but that's not what's happening with USB-C. Phones usually come with a USB 2.0 cable with better charging capabilities than many USB 3.0 cables, so it's not as clear cut as "get a high quality cable". Not to mention that some USB-C standards, like Thunderbolt, are far more expensive and are a bad idea to buy if you don't need the extra functionality. So again, "just get a good cable" is bad advice and shows that you don't understand USB-C.

I think it has a lot to do with the marketing of the cable and how it was released. If you go on amazon for instance, a lot of USB C cables don’t even define what protocol they are unless you dig, unlike USB A where we classify the cable by protocol instead of type. For instance, I’ve never said “I need a usb A cable”, I say “I need a USB 2 cable”. It’s also different from usb micro and mini because they ONLY support 2.0

I work in IT and can say USB C creates more problems than its worth on laptops when being used with a docking station, these cables/ports are way too fragile to be plugged/unplugged regularly on a laptop and seem to randomly stop working after some time and stop transmitting video, power and/or network traffic. Its even worse when only one port supports that on the device or the cables are built in and can't be swapped when they go bad. Good concept but terrible engineering at its finest.

USB "A" is for ports that provide power such as on your laptop or computer ports, "B" is for ports that receive power such as your phone or printer, and "C" port does both. A and B come in 3 sizes: Standard (most A ports you see), mini, and micro (most B ports you see (typically on phones)). C comes in 1 size. USB comes in a many different versions from the original 1.0 to the newest 3.2. The newer, the better. There's also different power levels they're capable of transmitting. They're all supposed to be backwards compatible though and automatically use the best common version between the devices and cable being connected. "Supposed to" is the key thing the video was addressing.

WTF? Nonsense! There is not one product out there which relies on a charging cable to limit the amount of current it draws. A charging cable MAY cause current to be limited, if it missing the relevant configuration or circuit to TELL a charger that it may output at its high current rate, but; the charger will contain current limiting circuitry which can not be increased by a particular cable (that unbreakable cable with 180% faster charging you see advertised on FB at the moment it's 180% fake). And unless a device is broken, it does not require any current limiting as that is a product of ohms law anyway. Current can only ever be as much as 5V/ resistivity of charging circuit.

forestR1 oh and the 3 amps for phone was total garbage of info. The standard for charging devices is 1 amp over 5 volts. Apple tablets default to 2 amps over 5 volts. Some devices started allowing getting higher voltage chargers, and higher current chargers too, universally called fast charging capabilities, which are usually not compatible one to another. That being said, those cam sometimes allow for up to 25 watts, perhaps even more, I haven’t heard of those. Done with 12 volts 2.1 amps as far as I know.

USB has always had many different standards for cables that outwardly look if not identical then very similar. USB-C is a fantastic standard that has truly bridged the gap between the many different kinds of mobile devices we may have. A single quality cable can be used for so many devices: my laptop, phone, monitor, mouse, headphones, external drive, and many more!
@nyqa 4 ай бұрын
I don't think it's confusing at all. 😊 If the cable doesn't fit, it can't be used. Can't get any easier 😄 The reason why USB cables changed was to keep up with the demand of consumer devices. Smaller devices needed smaller physical interface and newer features needed changes in hardware.

Or old VGA and printer connectors had locking mechanisms for good reasons.

How could _any_ standard ever be truly universal? I sure have had plenty of USB devices not work over the years, for one, and often when I've thought "a-ha! connecting this or that will solve the problem!" I sure could physically connect the device, but nope, it won't work. ("Plug 'n' Play" my ass...) The connector may be the same, but then the devices are so different anyway, I can't but imagine all the wrangling that would have to be done to make a connector do absolutely everything, and to have everything work with it...

Also I did have an iPad 9th gen which is the last iPad with lightning connector that still works fine in 2024. The most weird are cheaper type-C cable that can transfer up to 480mbps while more expensive ones can up to 10gbps. Plus some chargers write in how many Amps or how many watts. Some written up to 2A, 2.1A, 2.4A for most cheaper cables while more expensive ones will write 3A, 5A, 6A. Some will write 5W, 10W, 10.5W, 12W (most common for cheaper chargers), 18W, 20W, 25W, 45W or higher (mostly higher end chargers).
