Apple Lightning to USB-A cable. Lightning is an 8-pin digital connector. Unlike the 30-pin dock connector it replaced (and USB Type-A and -B connectors), it is reversible. [23] Most Lightning devices only support USB 2.0, which has a maximum transfer speed of 480 Mbit/s or 60 MB/s. With USB 2.0, only one lane is in use at a time.
Thus, USB cables have different ends: A and B, with different physical connectors for each. Each format has a plug and receptacle defined for each of the A and B ends. A USB cable, by definition, has a plug on each end—one A (or C) and one B (or C)—and the corresponding receptacle is usually on a computer or electronic device.
An alternative to this is a compound device, in which the host assigns each logical device a distinct address and all logical devices connect to a built-in hub that connects to the physical USB cable. USB endpoints reside on the connected device: the channels to the host are referred to as pipes.

DockPort (originally codenamed Lightning Bolt [1]) is a backward-compatible extension of DisplayPort, adding USB 3.0 and DC power, in addition to DisplayPort's video and audio signalling. Standardised by VESA , it is the first royalty-free industry standard to combine these four interface functions in one connector.
New-to-existing cables and adapters have been defined. Some USB Type-C cables and connectors can support "USB performance at SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps (USB 3.1) and USB Power Delivery up to 100W" [19] [20] [21] although USB Type-C cables are only required to support USB 2.0 (non-SuperSpeed) data rates and 3 A (60 W at 20 V) of current.

C48 is apparently the connector originally used for Lightning-to-USB A charge cables, and it apparently came in several variants: C48A, C48B, and C48C. I don't know how the variants differ from one another. In 2019, for new designs, the C48 connectors were replaced with the new C89 connector for USB A cables. The differences are somewhat ...
USB-C plug USB-C (SuperSpeed USB 5Gbps) receptacle on an MSI laptop. USB-C, or USB Type-C, is a 24-pin, reversible connector (not a protocol) that supersedes previous USB connectors and can carry audio, video, and other data, to connect to monitors, external drives, hubs/docking stations, mobile phones, and many more peripheral devices.
