USB 3.1 is a high-speed universal serial bus specification, which has been improved and upgraded on the basis of USB 3.0, mainly including the following aspects:
Transmission speed: USB 3.1 can reach a maximum transmission speed of 10Gbps, which is twice as fast as USB 3.0's 5Gbps, which makes data transmission more efficient
Expanded functionality: USB 3.1 introduces many new features, such as charger detection, audio transmission, monitor output, etc., which allows users to realize more operations through a single interface
Interface type: USB 3.1 adopts the smaller Type-C interface, which has many functions such as positive and negative plugging, high-speed data transfer, charging, etc., and has become one of the most popular USB interfaces today
Difference between USB 3.1 and USB 3.0
USB 3.1 consists of two different versions: USB 3.1 Gen1 and USB 3.1 Gen2. The main difference between the two is the transfer speed:
USB 3.1 Gen1: Maximum transfer speed is 5Gbps, same as USB 3.0 USB 3.1 Gen2: Maximum transfer speed is 10Gbps, faster than both USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 Gen1
Characteristics of Type-C interface
Type-C interface is an interface shape of USB 3.1, which has many functions such as positive and negative plugging, high-speed data transfer, charging, etc. It is suitable for various devices, including printers
