USB-C & Me: The Present and Future of Power Delivery

You may have noticed over the past several years that a smaller USB connector than the standard USB-A has been introduced in public spaces, on mobile devices, and on computer hardware. This connector is called a USB-C and it is a game changer. This small, low profile USB-C port is capable of high-speed power delivery, high-speed data transfer, and does not require a corresponding USB-C plug to be positioned in a specific orientation. Gone are the days of flipping your USB connector back and forth to make sure it’s facing the correct way to plug into a charger. The universal design allows for easy plug & play.

Where does Harbor City Supply Come In?

USB-C is not yet ubiquitous since emerging technologies can take decades to reach that point. You’ll often find a USB-C port paired with a traditional USB-A port to ensure early adopters and the old guard can still charge their devices on the go without the frustration of not having the correct cable. We take this same approach at HarborCitySupply.com where you’ll find our Dekko & ECA power/data modules with USB charging capabilities now incorporate one USB-C and one USB-A to make sure all bases are covered for charging any device. Our ECA models that incorporate a telecom plate will give you the option to have up to 3 USB-C connectors in a single telecom plate. These connectors can be connected to a power source to allow for device charging or connected to a computer or external hard drive for data transfer. Reach out to any of our specialists by phone, e-mail, or chat with your questions about USB-C and our products that will work best with your application.
