USB-C is a 24-pin USB connector system with a reversible connector. The -C is to distinguish it from the many various former USB connectors it replaced, all termed either Type-A or Type-B. Whereas earlier every USB cable had a host end A and a device end B, USB-C simply replaces both; a USB-C cable connects either way, and for older equipment a legacy cable has a Type-C plug at one end and a Type-A (host) or a Type-B (device) plug at the other. The designation C refers only to the connector's physical configuration, or form factor, and should not be confused with the connector's specific capabilities, such as Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.2, or USB4. Unlike its predecessors, the USB-C connector has rotational symmetry: a plug may be inserted into a receptacle in either orientation.
