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.
Adapters and cables with a USB-C receptacle are not allowed. [31] Full-featured USB-C 3.1 cables contain a full set of wires and are "electronically marked" : they contain a "eMarker" chip that responds to the USB Power Delivery Discover Identity command, a kind of vendor-defined message (VDM) sent over the configuration data channel (CC ...
Few USB devices made it to the market until USB 1.1 was released in August 1998. USB 1.1 was the earliest revision that was widely adopted and led to what Microsoft designated the "Legacy-free PC". [26] [27] [28] Neither USB 1.0 nor 1.1 specified a design for any connector smaller than the standard type A or type B.

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.
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. [22]
A common EPS must include a cable with a micro USB-B (2.0) connector for connecting to a mobile phone. This cable can be either captive (permanently attached to the power supply) or detachable. If detachable, the cable must connect to the power supply via a standard USB type-A plug. [12]
