Q: Questionwhat are usb 3.1 Gen 2 type-a/type-c ?
Asked by roman.
- A:Answer The USB standards have evolved for a couple of decades. There are specifications that define the operation and connectivity of devices that conform to the specifications. If you "Google" USB 3.1, you will likely see a good explanation of the latest standard. From a practical perspective, 3.1 Gen 2 is faster than prior generations. Type A and C refer to the stye of the connector. Type A is the squared edge rectangular USB connector we all know and have used for many years....about 1/2" wide and perhaps 1/8" high. Type C is the latest connector type and is much smaller with rounded corners and it is reversible, so it doesn't matter which way is up...both ways work just fine. You may remember mini-USB and micro-USB from prior generations and many mobile phones and cameras...the latter sometimes being a bit difficult to determine which way is up. USB-C solves that problem. Compact and reversible.
