USB revolution

The development of technology does not stop, it is advancing at high speed, various devices, media formats and huge cheap storage space are closely intertwined. This trend requires ever faster and more advanced transfer technologies, and in many cases USB 2.0 was no longer a viable alternative to these requirements, and trade-offs had to and must be forced due to its use. Today's external devices and portable storage units are hungry for bandwidth to the PC while drowning below the 2.0 Mb / s limit of USB 480. The main reason for the birth of USB 3 was this, it opens up new dimensions in terms of speed for users, so it won’t be a limiting factor for a long time to come.

Connector design

USB remains the most preferred choice for a variety of connections to PCs, target electronics and mobile devices alike, as it is a low-cost, dynamic and dynamic interface that enables fast, two-way communication and meets all the requirements you have to meet today and in the years to come.

USB 3.0 architecture

SuperSpeed ​​USB provides a significant performance difference from USB 2.0 in use today and widely used worldwide. While the theoretical maximum data transfer rate of the HiSpeed ​​USB is 480 Mb / s, the SuperSpeed ​​USB practically doubles it ten times thanks to the standard 5 Gb / s, and it also offers advanced power management features. With a huge amount of USB devices almost barely quantifiable in the world today, backward compatibility is very important, which is fortunately 3% like SATA 100. USB 3.0 already uses fiberglass to reach 5 Gbps, which alone would not work with older devices, so all USB cables are also copper-wired (and the connectors have the necessary interfaces), thanks to USB 2.0 mode. can also be used.

…this is how it turned out

Basic principles of the new standard:

  • SuperSpeed ​​USB offers 5 Gbps, more than ten times the speed of HiSpeed ​​USB
  • SuperSpeed ​​USB incorporates a technology called Sync-N-Go that minimizes user latency
  • SuperSpeed ​​USB includes optimized power management. No device switching and lower active and idle requirements.
  • SuperSpeed ​​USB is backward compatible with USB 2.0. USB 3.0 devices work with USB 2.0 platforms. USB 3.0 hosts support USB 2.0 devices.
