USB Type-C is a 24-pin USB connector system which can be plugged in either way (there's no upside down.) USB-C is the industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power. The USB-C connector was developed by the USB Implementers Forum.

The USB-C connector looks similar to a micro USB connector at first glance, though it's more oval-shaped and slightly thicker.

The default protocol with the USB-C connector is USB 3.1, which, at 10Gbps, is theoretically twice as fast as USB 3.0. The minor wrinkle is that USB 3.1 ports can also exist in the original, larger shape; these ports are called USB 3.1 Type-A. But aside from on desktops, it's much more common to see USB 3.1 ports with USB-C connectors.
