Among the many innovative technologies that have obtained a very high consensus in this 2016 we undoubtedly find the adoption of the new USB Type-C connector. Despite the initial distrust due to the radical change and the impossibility of using the accessories purchased previously with the Micro USB connector, in the last period the advantages of the USB Type-C (reversibility of the connector, possibility of carrying both electricity and data and video signals, etc.) have clearly reversed the discontent. Xiaomi has understood the potential of this market very well and, for this reason, has listed three different cables with a starting price of about 5 dollars (at the exchange rate).
The three cables are virtually identical in functionality and physical structure (nylon fiber coverage to ensure maximum resistance over time). The only difference is the length. Cables are available from 20 centimeters, 60 centimeters and 120 centimeters.
Currently only the last two are available for purchase, while for the 20 cm variant you will still have to wait (and the price in this case should be around $ 4).
According to official Xiaomi data, the cables support fast charging at 5V / 2.1A and a transfer rate of 480 Mbps (so it is the USB 2.0 standard). As for the colors, users can choose whether to buy the silver variant or the gold variant.
As for compatibility, Xiaomi ensures maximum yield on the Xiaomi Mi4C, the Mi5 and the Mi 2 Mi Pad. This does not mean that even on other devices, such as the MacBook, can be used.
