What you’re looking at above is probably the most exciting cable you’ll see at CES 2015 — it’s the type C USB 3.1 reversible USB cable. Finally, trying to plug in a USB device only to meet with soul-crushing failure will soon be a thing of the past.

Finally
Finally!!!!
Now we just need to make the next revision circular and magnetic. Or just everything wireless.
Looks like we can’t use it on current devices. The female part is probably different from current generation ones 🙁
Seems a little flimsy (i.e. attaches/removes too easily) in the video.
Now…how long until they make this more stable? It looks prone to snapping or bending like it’s nothing.
we have it more cheap than the iphone cable thanks china
OMG YOU CAN TURN IT AROUND
PASS.
Best thing to come out of CES so far
type c and usb 3.1 both are better then lightning. lets just hope type c is durable. but can i please get this on a amd board that and keep a m.2 slot with it. asrock is the only one so far to make a mobo for us people with amd fx cpu that has m.2
Totally predicted it.
Come out already :/
while the usb itself is smaller, other part in the desktop pc isn’t. The technology makes much more sense when applied to portables than desktops. I wish manufacturers will start making changes to PSUs and motherboard design, making them more “compact” friendly than the conventional design. Mini-itx still gets too big even when it’s called “mini”.
I already see myself saying “yeah …back in my days you’d have to pay attention which way you plug the cable in your PC”
^_^
uuuugghhh what the fuck is up with your nails dude!
The future is here.
People are so dumb that they cant plug a normal usb in the right way, so they have to make an idiot-proof reversible plug? You call it “exciting”, I call it a sad state of humanity.
Well it’s about time!
Hottest tech at CES 2015! Seriously!
Wow, that only took the industry like what? 20 years?
Best thing out of CES 2015
Finally!
It’s also stronger and can send a video signal over the cable.
I think apples solution was better because it is backwards compatible
O melhor novidade da #CES2015 até agora.
What!? how is this coverage? They forgot to mention that this is also bi-directional (can support host to host instead of host to peripheral like type a and b), can carry 10 times the amount of power and is also the size of a micro usb 2 plug!
I’m still waiting for a round usb kabel plug 10 gbps :p
wow 39 sec video, maybe some more info would be nice
Супер.
At last you shouldn’t rotate it.
nice.
so this Type C is it USB 3.0?
it must be cuz the guy said it’s fast.
so… it’s a lightning cable?
Type‑C being reversible isn’t the big news. It can simultaneously transmit USB 3.1, multi-monitor video, and 100W of power. (100W can power a monitor or even charge a laptop.) It’s designed to be the one cable you’ll use for everything for the next decade or so, and the speeds aren’t final, either. It’s also very future-proof — there will be new uses we haven’t thought of yet that it will be able to support. Mobile devices, peripherals, laptops, computers and monitors are coming out this year with Type‑C ports built in. This is the biggest news from CES this year and the thing you’ll remember about it, even though that flexible LG OLED screen was cool.
Great review… you know there’s more to it than it just being reversible right? Classic Verge being shit at the only thing they have to do.
Bout time
Finally!!
Finally, trying to plug in a USB device only to meet with soul-crushing failure will soon be a thing of the past if this is 2.X and 1.x backward compatible. If not, our present devices are things of the past, and we will start looking for compatible adapter from cdrking…
Ewww those fingernails.
That there are already by various companies
What beautiful nails!
