New reports confirm better and simpler logos for USB Type-C cables and chargers. With these new logos, USB-IF is making it easier to understand the data transfer speeds and power limits of accessories. Back in 2007, the SuperSpeed \u200b\u200bUSB was announced with the term USB 3.0, which brought a data transfer speed advantage over USB 2.0 from 0.48Gbps all the way to 5Gbps. Then, in 2022, SuperSpeed \u200b\u200bwas introduced in three versions along with the faster USB 4.<\/p>\n
However, everyone was on the same page that the term \u201cSuperSpeed\u201d isn’t a helpful differentiator. In 2019, USB-IF was renamed USB 3.0 to USB 3.1 Gen 1, USB 3.1 to USB 3.1 Gen 2, and then USB 3.2 Gen 2; and USB 3.2 to USB 3.2 Gen 2\u00d72<\/em>which by reading itself doesn’t give you much clarity on what is what.<\/p>\n Thankfully, as per the updated guidelines and logos, as reported by The Verge, USB-IF has changed its branding to simply USB 20Gbps (previously known as USB 3.2 Gen 2\u00d72), USB 10Gbps (earlier known as USB 3.2 Gen 2) , etc., removing the SuperSpeed \u200b\u200bbranding.<\/p>\nUsers will see new logos and branding on products as early as the end of this year<\/h3>\n
