It is also compatible with USB 3.1 spec according to the text.  Looks like a USB C connector.

If its Apple it is usually proprietary. You could use an adapter.

Everything you ever wanted to know about USB and Thunderbolt:

https://www.cnet.com/how-to/usb-type-c-thunderbolt-3-one-cable-to-connect-them-all/

Bottom line: although there are differences between the two standards a Thunderbolt 3 cable can be used to connect two USB 3 C ports.
Remember, it's all about the music........
