FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all
national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-
operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition
to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly
Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is
entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in
this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also
participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested
IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation
by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any
IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services
carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members
of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage
of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of
the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62680-1-3 has been prepared by technical area 18: Multimedia home
systems and applications for end-user networks, of IEC technical committee 100: Audio, video and
multimedia systems and equipment.

INTRODUCTION
The IEC 62680 series is based on a series of specifications that were originally developed by the
USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF). These specifications were submitted to the IEC under the
auspices of a special agreement between the IEC and the USB-IF.
This standard is the USB-IF publication Universal Serial Bus Type-C Cable and Connector
Specification Revision 2.0.
The USB Implementers Forum, Inc.(USB-IF) is a non-profit corporation founded by the group of
companies that developed the Universal Serial Bus specification. The USB-IF was formed to
provide a support organization and forum for the advancement and adoption of Universal Serial
Bus technology. The Forum facilitates the development of high-quality compatible USB peripherals
(devices), and promotes the benefits of USB and the quality of products that have passed
compliance testing.

ANY LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE, TO ANY
