!!! Overview [{$pagename}] is a 24-pin [USB] [physical connector|Cable Connections] which implements a rotational-symmetrical connector.[{$pagename}] [Specification] 1.0 was published by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) and was finalized in August [2014|Year 2014]!! [{$pagename}] [protocol] signals There are many [protocol] signals used on [{$pagename}] below are some of them: %%table-sort %%table-filter %%table-bordered %%table-striped || Name || Data Rate || Notes || | USB 2.0 | 480 Mbs | - | | USB 3.1 Gen 1 | 5 Gbps | was USB 3.0 | | USB 3.2 Gen 1 | 5 Gbps | - | | USB 3.2 Gen 2 | 10 Gbps | - | /% /% /%%%warning [{$pagename}] may or may NOT carry and [USB] [protocol] signals. \\ And even when the do it is only ONE at a time! %% * USB Power delivery for Charging the device itself with 20V / 3A. * [DisplayPort] 1.4 signal (you will need a passive adapter cable) * [HDMI] 1.4b signal (you will need a passive adapter). Perhaps the [HDMI] logo will be used, but then again, it may not. * [Thunderbolt] 3.0 signal, which includes: ** [PCI Express] ** [DisplayPort] 1.2 ** [USB] 3.1 (Generation 2) ** USB Power * delivery multiplexed into a signal served over the same connector using more expensive active cables. * Typically, a Lightning Bolt icon by the port is used, but guess what? That is not a requirement. * [USB] 3.1 (Generation 2, a.k.a. 10 Gbit/s speed USB). * Some motherboards will give you [{$pagename}] connectors carrying USB 3.1 (Generation 1), formerly known as [USB] 3.0 signals, at 5 [Gbit]/s * [Mobile High-Definition Link] ([MHL]) !!
