A new Type-C connector has made its appearance at the International CES this week that is reversible with identical ends.

In this cable connector, there is no small end for the phone and big one for the PC as in the case with Micro USB, reported PCWorld.

Type-C connector works with the USB 3.1 standard, operates at up to 10 Gbps and works faster.

The connector is twice the speed of the USB 3.0 standard that is supported current USB connectors.

It can be used to charge even a laptop as it uses up to 100 watts of power.
