Summary:Utilizing pins on a universal serial bus (USB) type-C connector for a data signal includes a circuit to, based on an orientation of a receptacle side of the USB type-C connector when connected to an electronic device, identify spare pins used for the data signal instead of a USB differential pair signal on the receptacle side of the USB type-C connector, a controller to create the data signal from a number of signals received by the controller, the data signal to be routed from the receptacle side of the USB type-C connector to a plug side of the USB type-C connector, and a multiplexor (MUX) to, when the plug side of the USB type-C connector is connected to a peripheral device, route the data signal to the spare pins of the receptacle side of the USB type-C connector to allow the data signal to be exchanged between the electronic device and the peripheral device via the spare pins of the receptacle side of the USB type-C connector and bottom pins on the plug side of the USB type-C connector.
