USB Type-C is taking over

One cable to rule them all!

In years past, phones charged and transferred files through a Micro-USB port and cable.
These days, however, it's more common to find a new standard called USB Type-C.

This port technology is faster, more efficient and -- best of all -- flippable, so you can plug in your cord correctly every time.

Reversible and interchangeable

"One cable to rule them all" that was the intention of USB-C. And 2022 is the year in which the cable fulfils that ambition. Because it transmits power, image signal and data: three for the price of one.

Most vehicles and machines today still ship with the older USB-A ports,

With the widespread adoption and use of portable electronics, it’s becoming increasingly important for users to be able to charge their devices in their vehicles and machines.
