Can a USB-C be plugged into a USB port?


No, you cannot directly plug a USB-C connector into a standard USB port (e.g., USB-A) because they have different physical shapes and pin configurations. USB-C is a newer, reversible connector type that supports various protocols, including USB 3.1, USB 3.2, USB 4, Thunderbolt 3, and Thunderbolt 4, depending on the hardware and its capabilities. If you need to connect a USB-C device to a standard USB port, you'll need an adapter or cable that converts from USB-C to USB-A.
