Wait a minute, USB-C Thunderbolt 3 cables are also USB-C to USB-C cables, aren't they? Why aren't they included in this article? I guess there's 6 kinds of USB-C to USB-C cables, except for all the other kinds of USB-C to USB-C cables. How many are there really?
- fyfy18 7y agoTB3 is not part of the USB-C spec, they just happen to use the same connector. The cables are usually backwards compatible.
- rcthompson 7y agoI know TB3 is not USB-C, but as long as a TB3 cable is USB-C compatible (can you really call it "backward" compatible if TB3 is not USB?), that cable is a USB-C cable. You can use it to connect 2 USB-C devices. That means there is more than 6 kinds of cables you can use to connect USB-C devices to each other, contrary to what the article says.
