![]() That is, A1 will now be connected to B1 and similarly for all 24 pins. In this configuration, the plug’s CC pin (A5) is connected to the receptacle’s CC1 pin (A5).įlipping either connector will a “flip”. When a male plug in orientation 1 connects with a female receptacle in orientation 1, the plug’s A1 is connected to the receptacle’s A1 and similarly for all 24 pins. It is the responsibility of the female receptacle to detect the orientation of the male plug and reconfigure pins on the receptacle to match the plug's orientation.įigure 1: USB-C plug and receptacle pin-out definition and orientations. For USB-C, there are two possible orientation of the male plug, which the USB-IF defines as orientation 1 and 2. For USB-C, the orientation of a connection between a male plug and female receptacle is defined by the male plug. Cable Orientationįirst, the concept of cable orientation needs to be defined. Acroname's USB-C-Switch exposes much of this complexity to allow engineers to flexibly control USB-C connections including the ability to add cable flips and toggling individual features of the USB-C cabling. While these features are great for average users, they can make testing and validating USB systems complicated. USB-C makes life easy for average consumers and users through two mechanisms: orientation agnostic connectors and automatic configuration.
