The first technical features of the new USB Type-C standard leaked: The new connections will be reversible and will have 10 Gbit/s data transfer tips. During a press conference held yesterday in China, we started to talk about what will be the new standard USB Type-C: The work on the most revolutionary change ever introduced to the Universal Serial Bus, which by the end of July 2014 will be Revolutionized both in terms of the form and in terms of performance. Reversible Design By eliminating all the compatibility with the ports so far used on computers and multimedia devices, the new standard USB Type-C is much smaller than traditional USB connectors and is characterized – for the first time ever – by a new physical Very important: reversibility. The new design of the connectors will no longer require the insertion of the plugs following a certain orientation, making it (finally) much faster and more intuitive. Intended to replace both the USB cables and the MicroUSB cables with a single universal standard, the Type-C seems to be very similar to the Lightning cable introduced by Apple with the IPhone 5, characterized in turn by a reversible design. USB 3.0 VS TYPE C: data transfer rate The new USB Type-C cables will, of course, support the USB 3.1 Type C standard and make it possible to have an incredible data transfer speed, reaching bits of even 10 Gbps, doubling the current speed of the USB 3. O. The USB Standard 1.0 was introduced in January of 1996 and supported data transfer rates of only 1.5 Mbit/s, was a standard suitable only for mice, keyboards and slow devices, which was declared obsolete two years later, when in September 1998 was Introduced the USB 1.1, characterized by full speed mode that increased its speed to 12 Mbit/S. The most important novelty for the Universal Serial Bus Standard, was introduced in April 2000 with USB 2.0: This new connection was direct competitor with the standard Firewire 400, and was characterized by a transfer rate of 400 Mbit/s, although To the practical effects, the latter was even faster and more stable than the first, especially with devices that manipulate video streams. On June 11, 2012, the USB 3.0 was introduced, the standard currently in use by the latest fixed and mobile devices, capable of reaching a data transfer rate of 4.8 Gbit/S. In short, in less than 10 years the speed of USB connections has increased exponentially, but the hopes of enthusiasts around the world are already facing the future, when all devices will abandon (finally) the cables and use the USB standard Wireless.
