It is the first connector from TE that complements the recently introduced RS Pro portfolio of USB-C cable assemblies and connectors.
USB-C is poised to become the dominant standard for data connections and power supply to mobiles, computers, mobiles, A/V equipment and many other devices.
Convenient multi-function connectivity, including compatibility with 4K UHD TV as well as protocols such as HDMI and DisplayPort, and legacy connections such as VGA and USB Type-A, ensures a simpler life for users and less waste electrical equipment in the longer term.
Leading mobile and PC brands have already begun announcing their plans around USB-C. The latest Apple MacBook, for example, will rely on USB-C as the sole external connector besides a headphone jack.
