USB-C plug USB-C (SuperSpeed USB 5Gbps) receptacle on an MSI laptop. USB-C, or USB Type-C, is a 24-pin, reversible connector (not a protocol) that supersedes previous USB connectors and can carry audio, video, and other data, to connect to monitors, external drives, hubs/docking stations, mobile phones, and many more peripheral devices.

Thunderbolt is the brand name of a hardware interface for the connection of external peripherals to a computer.It was developed by Intel in collaboration with Apple. [7] [8] It was initially marketed under the name Light Peak, and first sold as part of an end-user product on 24 February 2011.
A monitor is typically connected to its host computer via DisplayPort, HDMI, USB-C, DVI, or VGA. Monitors sometimes use other proprietary connectors and signals to connect to a computer, which is less common. Originally computer monitors were used for data processing while television sets were used for video.
The Type-C specification does not name specific DP speeds that it considers supported for passive cables where support is optional for active cables. The USB-C presentation on DP Alt mode [47] calls out passive full-featured USB-C cables for their DisplayPort support and headroom for future DP speed increases. HBR3 was the highest available DP ...
The Apple Display Connector is physically incompatible with a standard DVI connector. The Apple DVI to ADC Adapter, [1] which cost $149US at launch but was in 2002 available for $99US, [2] takes USB and DVI connections from the computer, adds power from its own integrated power supply, and combines them into an ADC output, allowing ADC monitors to be used with DVI-based machines.
Apple's Dual-Link DVI or VGA adapters are relatively large and expensive compared to past adapters, and customers have reported problems with them, such as being unable to connect to an external display. Monitors connected to a Mini DisplayPort via these adaptors may have resolution problems or not "wake up" from sleep. [13] [14] [15]
This means that one would not be able to extend the cable using a standard USB-C 3.0 cable, which has these pins mapped only for unshielded USB 2.0 signals. Also this required the VirtualLink port to also detect the correct orientation of the USB-C plug to ensure that the USB 3.0 TX and RX lanes are correctly connected.
