USB 3.1 is now called USB 3.1 Gen 2 (Speed up to 10Gbps)Īs usual, tech companies around the world have started adopting this new classification. USB 3.0 is now called USB 3.1 Gen 1 (Speed up to 5Gbps)
While the new USB 3.1 connectors, capable of 10Gbps (SuperSpeed +) would now be classified as USB 3.1 Gen 2. Recently however, the USB-IF organisation published an article where they announced that USB 3.0 connectors capable of 5Gbps (SuperSpeed) would now be classified as USB 3.1 Gen 1. USB 3.0 was launched in 2008, it provided an unprecedented increase in transfer speeds (up to 5Gbps) and added more power to connect more peripherals. In 2013 another major leap was made with the introduction of USB 3.1, doubling the speeds to as much as 10Gbps! When USB 3.0 became USB 3.1 Gen 1 Since the widespread introduction of USB 1.1 in 1998, there have been multiple revisions which have enabled higher transfer speeds and more power for peripherals to use. The most recent revision is USB 3.1, which has been split up into Gen 1 and Gen 2, but what exactly is the difference between the two? Their naming and qualifications of USB revisions have been adopted by nearly all the major IT companies around the world. The USB Implementers Forum was founded by a group of seven major IT companies to support and promote the development and high-quality standard of USB devices. The purpose of USB is to make connecting external devices easier by creating a standardized connector to replace the multitude of connectors at the back of a PC.
