USB type-c cable details

USB Type-C specification defines a small reversible-plug connector for USB devices. The Type-C plug connects to both hosts and devices, replacing various micro-usb connectors and cables. The 24-pin double-sided connector provides four power/ground pairs, two differential pairs for USB 2.0 data bus (though only one pair is implemented in a Type-C cable), four pairs for high-speed data bus, two sideband use pins, and two configuration pins for cable orientation detection, dedicated biphase mark code (BMC) configuration data channel, and VCONN +5 V power for active cables. USB 2.0 to USB-C is a USB2.0-only version of USB-C Full-Featured cable.

Contacts B6 and B7 should not be present in the USB Type-C plug. The receptacle side shall support the USB 2.0 differential pair present on Dp1/Dn1 or Dp2/Dn2. The plug orientation determines which pair is active.

USB-C cables that do not have shielded SuperSpeed pairs, sideband use pins, or additional wires for power lines can have increased cable length, up to 4 m. These USB-C cables only support 2.0 speeds and do not support alternate modes.

The USB Type-C Power-Only plug is a depopulated version of the USB Full-Featured Type-C plug or the USB 2.0 Type-C plug. Contacts for configuration channel, Vbus, and GND (i.e., A1, A4, A5, A9, A12, B1, B4, B9, and B12) shall be present, others are optional. Implementation of resistor or CC communication on pin A5 is required.

USB type C cable is also known as some Genuine USB cables: Huawei HL1289, LG DC12WB-G, Sony UCB20 cable and many others.
