Your USB cable is about to get a speed boost
We’re all familiar with USB. After all we’ve been using it with our computers since 1996, and now with mobile devices too.
Yes… it’s really been that long.
Without USB it would be harder to connect different types of devices, charge them, and transfer data.
Of course, USB has changed and improved over the years. And there’s another new improvement due in the next few months.
What makes this one fun is that you won’t need to buy any new USB accessories or cables.
The USB Promoter Group, which is the industry body that drives USB improvements, recently announced the planned release of USB 4 2.0.
What’s exciting about that, you ask?
This will actually allow you to double the speeds of data transfer on cables you already own – so long as they’re no more than a couple of years old.
This new standard will see a maximum data transfer performance of up to 80GBps. That’s gigabytes per second.
It means displays will perform better and data will transfer faster. Great news to improve productivity in your business.
The USB Promoter Group is made up of tech giants like Microsoft, Apple, HP, and Intel.
Its primary job is to develop USB capabilities to meet the demand of the current market and to extend support for more platform types.
We expect to have an update on USB 4 2.0 in around November.
