— cables and adapters with a USB Type C connector on one end and a Lightning (8 pin) connector on the other.Type C is a type of USB connector that was released relatively recently as a potential alternative to both full-sized USB-A and microUSB. It has compact dimensions (only slightly larger than microUSB) and a reversible design — the plug can be inserted into the connector in either orientation. It should also be noted that the Thunderbolt v3 interface is physically based on the Type C connector.
Lightning (8 pin), in turn, is a proprietary connector used in Apple's portable devices — specifically, the iPhone and iPad. Thus, cables of this type are intended exclusively for connecting Apple devices to PCs, laptops, power banks, and other equipment with USB Type C connectors (or Thunderbolt v3). As for adapters, they are rare and mostly combine an 8-pin socket with a Type C plug. With such an adapter, you can connect a cable (for example, for charging) or an additional accessory with a Lightning plug to a device with a USB-C connector.
