Thirty & Thriving
Over the course of 30 years of operation, StarTech.com has witnessed dramatic evolution in the technology sector. I’d consider 2015 a tipping point year in terms of technological disruption. A driving trend behind this disruption was the continued miniaturization of devices. The release of the game-changing USB-C™ or USB Type-C™ connector certainly accelerated this movement.
In 2016, I expect the rapid adoption of new technology protocols, like USB-C and Thunderbolt™ 3, will continue - creating an ecosystem of unrestricted possibility, but, as a result, some connectivity confusion is inevitable.
StarTech.com’s hard-to-find made easy mission and expertise in this space makes us uniquely positioned to create connections between devices, whether legacy or the latest, enabling best-in-class performance, in any situation.

USB-C The Next Generation of Connectivity is Here!
A new connector has arrived for computers, peripherals, and mobile devices: the USB-C™ connector. Also known as USB Type-C™, it’s much more than just USB. Unlike its predecessors, the USB-C connector offers an array of benefits.
This new technology provides four times the data, twice the video bandwidth and potentially enough power to charge your laptop.
The USB Type-C connector is small and compact, making it ideal for the latest laptop and mobile devices. It can carry other interface types, such DisplayPort 1.2 and Thunderbolt™ 3. This means that it can carry up to 10Gbps of data with USB 3.1, or up to 40Gbps
with Thunderbolt 3. It can also carry enough power (up to100W) to charge full-size electronics. An important benefit of USB-C is its backwards compatibility with USB 3.0 and 2.0. It is also the only connector that carries Thunderbolt 3.

It delivers four times the bandwidth enabling more speed and video bandwidth than any other current standard.
