A field technician is setting up a new smartphone for a client and needs to transfer data from the client's previous model. The current data transfer setup involves interfacing the client's laptop, which is equipped with standard rectangular host ports, with the smartphones that both support the newer, reversible connector type. With wireless transfer methods being ruled out, what type of cable should the technician select to enable a successful data transfer?
Given that the smartphones support a reversible connector type and the client's laptop has standard rectangular ports, the technician requires a cable that accommodates both. Based on the description in the question, the most likely connectors needed would be:
USB-A, a rectangular USB plug for the laptop side
USB-C, a reversible USB plug used by many smartphones
