I have just bought a new iPad Air which has a usb c to usb c charging cable supplied. All my other devices have lightening to usb connectors. I understand I can buy a usb c to usb cable. I was planning on doing this as all my plugs are usb based ! I would rather buy this type of cable than an adaptor. Will the usb c to usb work ok, or will I lose any performance? Thanks in advance.
Your new iPad Air was supplied with a USB-C Power Adapter - and a USB-C to USB-C charging/data cable.
If your PC has older USB Type-A ports, you will require a certified USB3 Type-A to USB-C cable. These are readily available from good computer hardware stores - and from Apple.

The USB-C cable in the iPad box is certainly your best choice - if you have a USB-C port on the other end! It sounds like you do not. Certainly use that cable when charging the iPad.
“Lose any performance”? Lose - compared to what? You’ll do the best you can given the hardware you’re using.
I not technically minded. Sorry. I thought the usb c cable was suppose to be quicker than a lightening cable.
