Reversible USB Plugs

The New USB Type-C Connector is Reversible

New USB type-C connectors are currently under development as the next reversible USB plugs. It's built with USB 3.1 and 2.0 technologies that provide users with a thinner and sleeker connection. These plugs would replace the USB 3.1 specification for easier access and usability.

Some major features that will help improve USB plugs is orientation/cable direction, plugging into emerging product designs, smaller size with minimal design and scalable power charging for future USB bus performance. This USB plug should be available sometime in the middle of next year with great expectations according to the USB 3.0 Promoter Group. Reversible USB plugs are in high on demand for avid computer users who want a cable solution to this ongoing issue.
