At first glance it looks like the /A adds external power, whereas the /C is not powered.
# 2 Re: Question about the Dock
Looks like the A works up to 4G, B works with 5G and C works with the new iPods. I think Apple has adopted the Microsoft - Intel model. Every revision requires new hardware.

If you search the apple site for the C model, it says it is compatable with the new models.
