At the beginning of your journey USB port was designed to combine all other interfaces into one, its unchanged logo even hinted at this, but time goes by and the universal port itself has grown to many poorly compatible versions, which has brought even more chaos into the relationship of certain gadgets. And finally, He appeared on the horizon. The great and terrible USB Type C. Knowledgeable people met him with almost applause, and ordinary users just shrugged their shoulders. You can meet this indifference even today, they say, yes, symmetrical, yes, it’s easier to connect, so what? In fact, the difference is huge, and if you are still wondering which is better - Type C or microUSB, you are here.

Type C is more practical

This compact port has declared itself as a new network standard and its appearance is quite consistent with such a high status. A symmetrical, 24-pin port can now be found on flagship and mid-range smartphones, laptops, docking stations, routers, and a huge amount of other equipment. It does not take up much space on the case and, yes, it is more convenient to connect it. And now you don’t have to carry with you a certain number of blocks from different equipment.
Backward compatibility is also important. The Type-C port allows you to use any technology from the most ancient to the most modern without any special restrictions.
A couple of years ago, the issue of finding adapters and compatible flash drives was acute, but today there are a dime a dozen of them on the market.

Data transfer rate - up to 10 Gb / s

In this regard, Type C is a big stepping stone for the future, because it offers users data transfer rates of up to 10 Gb / s. Modern smartphones, of course, do not need this, but in the future it may well come in handy.
Here, by the way, we must immediately put an end to the confusion. The first Type C installed on a smartphone (by the way, it was Nokia N1) only supported the 2.0 protocol, while later devices could have both 3.0 and 3.1 with the corresponding data transfer rates. This limitation is imposed by the manufacturer with an eye to modern realities and will continue to increase.


Charging - up to 100W of power

Fast charging is already rampant across the planet. They are being developed different manufacturers and they work according to different principles, but the essence is the same - to increase power and thus reduce the charging time of the gadget. If you read our previous text, you noticed that in modern technologies fast chargers The numbers don't even come close to that. However, in the future, this transcendental, at first glance, power will be used. This technology you may have met on the web under the name USB power delivery. It is what many see as the future standard for fast charging.
Moreover, the Type C port can not only charge, but also charge other devices, which obviously will not fail to be used by third-party manufacturers in their developments.

Alternate Modes

If up to this point we have been talking exclusively about proprietary developments, now it's time to look at related technologies. Type C will also allow you to connect to monitors with DisplayPort, MHL and HDMI.
You can not ignore Thunderbolt 3, which guarantees data and video transfer to high speeds. Through this interface you can daisy chain up to 6 peripherals(e.g. monitors). It's hard to imagine a situation where this is really necessary.

Sound transmission - audiophile quality

If we evaluated all the above modes in the context of a reserve for the future, then this is what even ordinary users are already facing today. We are talking about the massive replacement of the audio jack with a Type C port. Separated ports, in this case, have only one (but very serious) advantage: you can use headphones even when the smartphone is charging. But on all other points, the analog jack is inferior to the digital USB-C. In the latter case, the sound quality will be higher, noise reduction and echo cancellation will be better implemented. Equally significant is the ability to transfer part of the tasks (and related equipment) to the headset, which will also help to avoid unnecessary noise and expand the capabilities of the headset in terms of control. The other side of the coin is that headphones will obviously become more expensive than modern simple “whistles” or, in other words, “whistles” will simply die out as a species.
And in the future, according to the developers, more cool things are waiting for us. For example, the ability to monitor body temperature during sports using headphones.

Docking stations

It was the versatility of the USB Type C port that made it possible to use docking stations for smartphones. Connecting to the dock makes it possible to get almost a full-fledged desktop PC from your smartphone. Not a gaming level, of course, but it will definitely pull on a multimedia one, since the power of mobile processors is more than enough for this. On this moment There are two devices on the market with this functionality. These are the HP Elite x3, which we did a great review of, and the Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+ and Note8 models with their DeX Station. Given the speed with which Type C is spreading, I would like to hope that analogues will appear from other manufacturers.

As we see, a miniature Type-C port is not only charging, as many people think, but also a sea of ​​​​other possibilities. It is for the versatility of USB-C that they appreciate it. But the sea of ​​\u200b\u200bthese undeniable advantages crosses out one fat minus. The capabilities of the port will always be limited by the host device and it is not possible to externally recognize these limitations. That is, Type C always looks the same, and to find out exactly what it will “be able to” on a particular device, you will have to look for detailed specifications. Moreover, the difficulties here will be not only with the presence / absence of alternative modes, but also with the speeds involved. Moreover, the compatibility of two devices can be “killed” by using the wrong cable. Such a sickly game of attentiveness turns out. The only thing that pleases, these restrictions the further, the more they will be leveled with the development of technology.

Flash-cards (or the so-called flash drives) will not surprise anyone now. They have come a long way to the miniature size devices that many of you probably have. The only thing that can move this market segment forward is the development and support of new standards. Therefore, as soon as we had one of the first flash drives and the USB 3.1 standard, we decided to tell you about it right away.

From the box it is immediately clear that we are dealing with something tiny - the length of the flash card does not exceed one inch. Actually, apart from the flash drive itself, there is nothing in the box: and it would be strange to expect anything else here.


On the one hand, there is the USB Type-A (3.1) standard, familiar to many users, and on the other, the same 3.1, only with a connector USB Type-C protected by a special lining.


Just look how tiny it is - for example, in comparison with the same one, the dimensions of which are well known to everyone.



To insert a flash drive into new macbook(and this is now from Apple), just move the overlay, and then start copying all the necessary data. Even compared to a baby like a MacBook, the flash card looks quite small. Such that it is almost imperceptible.



This accessory will be indispensable for you if you have both a new MacBook and a laptop without USB support Type-C. With its help, transferring data from one device to another will become not only very simple, but also fast - we could see for ourselves.



Information obtained using the BlackMagic Disk Speed ​​Test program indicates that the transfer speeds for USB 3.1 (Type-A) and Type-C are almost the same. It would be strange to see something else - after all, Type-C is essentially a nice "bonus" to the usual USB 3.1.

Xiaomi launches USB Type-C noise-canceling headphones in Indian market the highest quality sound. What is so interesting about them? Let's consider in more detail.

These wired in-ear headphones were specially launched with the Mi Mix 2 in mind, because the smartphone has a USB Type-C port instead of a 3.5mm audio jack.

According to analytics, 32% of users mobile phones Xiaomi prefers USB Type-C headphones.

The body of the headset is made of titanium, which guarantees resistance to scratches and corrosion. The reproducible frequency range is 20-40,000 Hz with a sensitivity of 113 dB. Thanks to the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) function, the headphones are able to suppress external noise.

The headphones are compatible with most Xiaomi smartphones that have a USB Type-C port:

  • Mi Mix 2,
  • Mi Mix,
  • mi 6,
  • mi 5,
  • mi 5s,
  • Mi 5s Plus,
  • Mi note 2.

However, they are not compatible with Redmi 5X and Redmi Pro.

The headphones are equipped with a micro-mechanical noise reduction module that easily copes with blocking ambient noise. When the mode is turned on, noise with a power of 25 dB is suppressed, with frequency range from 50 to 2000 Hz.

Mi Noise Canceling USB Type-C Wired Headset is also not compatible with Redmi 4C and Redmi 4S. You will be able to listen to music and active noise canceling will work. But, you will not be able to receive calls or control music using the built-in remote.

The headphone cable is made of environmentally friendly material, which is completely non-toxic. In addition, in order to achieve the best sound The headphones have a digital decoder.

The cost of the accessory is about $45. In general, for such a price, not bad at all. Good quality assembly, active noise cancellation, remote control and function hardware decoding sound to improve its sound.

The process of mass introduction of the USB interface in PCs and peripheral devices began in the late 90s of the last century. In just a few years, USB has become the de facto standard for connecting peripherals, practically replacing other solutions such as serial and parallel ports, PS / 2, etc.

Moreover, the matter was not limited to computers and peripheral equipment. Convenience, ease of connection and versatility of the USB interface contributed to the spread of this solution in other areas - in particular, in mobile devices ah, consumer audio and video equipment, automotive electronics, etc.

Since the process of improving PCs, mobile devices and other equipment is ongoing, from time to time it becomes necessary to refine the USB interface in order to improve key characteristics (in particular, bandwidth), expand functionality, introduce new connector sizes, etc. All this makes it possible to adapt existing solution to the changing needs of the industry.

Of the most notable innovations in recent years, we can recall the introduction of SuperSpeed ​​mode, which appeared in the USB specification version 3.0. The final text of this document was approved at the end of 2008, and over the next couple of years, this decision became widespread.

However, a lot of time has already passed since then, and it is time for the next improvements. In the coming year, the IT industry and you and I are expecting a number of, without exaggeration, revolutionary innovations. It is about them that we will tell in this review.

SuperSpeedPlus Mode

In the summer of 2013, the USB specification version 3.1 was approved. The main innovation that legalized this document, the SuperSpeedPlus mode has become, which allows to double the bandwidth of the data bus of the USB interface: from the previous 5 to 10 Gb / s. For compatibility with older equipment, it is also possible to work in SuperSpeed ​​mode (up to 5 Gb / s). Thus, a USB 3.1 connection will allow (at least theoretically) to transfer data at speeds over 1 GB / s and practically reach the HDMI version 1.4 interface in terms of this indicator ( throughput which is 10.2 Gbps).

What does this mean in practice? Bands of 10 Gb / s is enough for video broadcasting high definition(Full HD) at frame rates up to 60 Hz, or stereoscopic recordings in the same resolution at up to 30 Hz. Accordingly, USB 3.1 can be considered as a full-fledged alternative to specialized interfaces (such as DVI and HDMI) for broadcasting a video signal. high definition from PCs and mobile devices to monitors, projectors and other devices.

USB Type C connector

One of the revolutionary innovations that will affect the PC industry, as well as peripheral and mobile devices in the near future, is the introduction of a new type of USB interface connector. The specification for USB Type C plugs and receptacles was developed by the USB 3.0 Promoter Group and was finalized in August 2014. The design of USB Type C connectors has a number of important features that it makes sense to talk about in detail.

First, USB Type C plugs and sockets are symmetrical. In the USB Type C socket, the plastic tab is located exactly in the middle, and the pads on it are located on both sides. Thanks to this, the plug can be connected to such a socket either in a straight or inverted position by 180 °. This will greatly simplify the life of users, who will finally be relieved of the need to determine the correct orientation of the plug at random (which is especially true when connecting cables to system unit installed under the table).

Secondly, the USB Type C specification provides for the use of balanced cables, which are equipped with the same plugs on both sides. Accordingly, the sockets installed on the host devices and on the peripheral equipment will be the same.

And thirdly, the USB Type C connector will not have mini and micro versions. It is expected that USB Type C sockets and plugs will become common for desktop and laptop PCs, peripheral equipment, consumer equipment, mobile devices, power supplies, etc. Accordingly, to connect devices of any type, you need only one unified cable.

The dimensions of the USB Type C socket are approximately 8.4x2.6 mm, which allows you to easily place it in the case of even small devices. There are several options for the design of sockets for mounting both on the surface printed circuit board, and in a special cutout (the latter option allows you to reduce the thickness of the device case).

USB Type C plugs and receptacles are designed to last up to 10,000 plugs and unplugs - matching the reliability of current USB plug types.

The first public demonstration of USB Type C connectors and cables took place as part of the IDF Fall 2014 forum, which took place in early September in San Francisco (USA). One of the first mass-produced devices equipped with a USB Type C connector was the tablet announced in mid-November.

Of course, the physical incompatibility of the USB Type C connector with older types of sockets is not the best news for end users. However, the developers from the USB 3.0 Promoter Group decided to take such a radical step in order to expand functionality USB interface, as well as to create a reserve for the future. Adapter cables (USB Type C - USB Type A, USB Type C - USB Type B, USB Type C - microUSB, etc.) will be available to connect new devices to equipment equipped with older types of connectors.

USB Power Delivery 2.0

One of the reasons for the current popularity of the USB interface is the ability to transfer not only data, but also power over a single cable. This allows you to simplify the connection procedure as much as possible and reduce the number of wires used. When working with mobile devices given property The USB interface provides the ability to transfer and synchronize data from a PC, and at the same time recharge the gadget's battery by connecting just one cable. The same can be said about low-power peripherals. Due to the possibility of transferring power over the interface cable, we have long been relieved of the need to use external power supplies for some peripheral devices - in particular, flatbed scanners, low-power speaker systems, etc. Due to this, it was possible to reduce not only the number of wires on the desktop, but also the occupied sockets under it.

However, the rapid development of mobile devices in recent years has led to a significant change in the requirements not only for the bandwidth of the data bus, but also for the power supply parameters supplied via the USB connection. For charging low power devices (such as MP3 players or wireless headsets) a current of 500 mA is enough (and this, recall, is the maximum value for standard USB ports versions 1.1 and 2.0). However, for normal charging of modern smartphones and tablets, power sources are required that can deliver a current of 2 A or more.

A similar situation is observed in the segment of peripheral devices. The power transferred via USB is enough to power a 2.5-inch external hard disk or desktop flatbed scanner with a CIS type sensor. However, to supply electricity to a small jet printer or, for example, an LCD monitor, the USB interface even version 3.0 (and in it the maximum current was increased to 900 mA per port) does not allow.

In order to expand the capabilities of the USB interface to provide power to external devices, the USB Power Delivery 2.0 specification was developed. This document regulates the supply of power to devices with a power consumption of up to 100 W, and in any direction - both from the host device to the peripheral, and vice versa. For example, a laptop will be able to receive power from the monitor to which it is connected via USB.

Of course, the possibilities of supplying power to external devices are limited. design features PC or other device acting as a power source. That is why the USB Power Delivery 2.0 specification provides three profiles - for devices with power consumption up to 10, 60 and 100 watts. In the first case, the supply voltage is 5 V, and the maximum current in the load circuit can reach 2 A. The second profile provides for the use of a supply voltage of 12 V, and the third - 20 V. The maximum current in the load circuit in both cases is limited to 5 A.

It should be noted that in order to power a powerful load, it is necessary that both devices support the appropriate USB Power Delivery 2.0 profile. Obviously, the maximum power will be limited by the capabilities of the device acting as a power source. There are other aspects to keep in mind as well.

In the event that the current in the power circuit does not exceed 2 A, USB connectors of any current existing types. Connecting a more powerful load is possible only through the USB Type C connectors (which have already been mentioned above) and the corresponding cables. You also need to pay attention to the fact that, unlike USB Type C connectors, the design of standard cables is designed for a maximum current of 3 A. Thus, a special cable is required to connect a more powerful load.

The introduction of the USB Power Delivery 2.0 specification will significantly expand the possibilities for transferring power over the USB interface bus. The implementation of this solution in the future will make it possible to use USB ports desktop computer for recharging not only smartphones, tablets, etc. gadgets, but also mobile PCs - netbooks, laptops, etc. In addition, the range of peripheral devices will be significantly expanded, which can receive the current required for operation via the USB interface bus and, accordingly, do without separate power supplies. This list will be replenished with LCD monitors, active Acustic systems etc.

Alternate Modes

Another important innovation that will become available with the transition to the USB Type C connector is support for Functional Extensions. A special case of functional extensions are the so-called alternative modes (Alternate Modes, AM). With their help, manufacturers will be able to use the physical connection of the USB interface to implement the specific features and functions of certain devices.

For example, the Audio Adapter Accessory Mode allows you to use the physical USB interface connection to broadcast an analog audio signal to headphones, external speakers, and other equipment. To a device equipped with a USB Type C connector and supporting Audio Adapter Accessory Mode, you can connect headphones or an external speaker through a special adapter equipped with a 3.5 mm mini-jack jack.

Support for alternative modes is one of the features of a new class of USB devices - the USB Billboard Device Class. Manufacturers who intend to develop their own alternative modes need to obtain a unique identifier (SVID) from the USB-IF organization.

In 2014, the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) developed the DisplayPort Alternate Mode specification. This solution allows you to use two pairs of USB cable conductors (TX+/TX– and RX+/RX–) to broadcast an uncompressed digital AV stream. At the same time, it is possible to transfer data (in Low Speed, Full Speed ​​and Hi-Speed ​​modes via a D+/D– pair), as well as power supply via the same interface cable. Thus, by connecting two devices that support DisplayPort Alternate Mode, you can broadcast audio and video signals, transfer data in both directions at speeds up to 480 Mbps, and also supply power - all through one cable!

Devices that support DisplayPort Alternate Mode can also be connected to equipment that does not have USB ports Type C (in particular, monitors, TVs, etc.). The specification of this mode provides options for connecting to DisplayPort, HDMI or DVI interfaces through special adapters.

In November 2014, the MHL consortium announced the development of the MHL Alternate Mode, which will allow broadcasting uncompressed audio and video (including high and ultra high definition) from mobile devices equipped with a USB Type C connector to external equipment (monitors, TVs, projectors etc.) via a standard USB cable. Specialists from Nokia, Samsung Electronics, Silicon Image, Sony and Toshiba took part in the development of the specification.

The introduction of alternative modes will significantly expand the functionality of the USB interface and simplify the procedure for connecting devices of various types to the limit.

Conclusion

Completing this review, once again we list the most important innovations, the process of introducing which into mass-produced devices equipped with USB interface, will start soon.

The SuperSpeedPlus data transfer mode described in the USB specification version 3.1 will increase the maximum bandwidth of this interface to 10 Gb / s. Of course, this is less than HDMI 2.0 and Thunderbolt 2 (which, remember, provide data transfer at speeds up to 18 and 20 Gb / s, respectively). However, 10 Gbps is enough to transmit uncompressed HD video at frame rates up to 60 Hz. In addition, representatives of USB-IF said that in future versions of USB it is quite possible to increase the throughput to 20 Gb / s - fortunately, the design of the new USB Type C connectors and the corresponding cables has a certain margin for further development.

The introduction of support for the USB Power Delivery 2.0 specification will significantly increase the maximum power delivered over a USB connection. Accordingly, the range of peripheral and mobile devices that can be powered via an interface cable will be expanded. The widespread implementation of this solution will significantly reduce the number of cables and external power supplies used, reduce the number of occupied sockets and use electricity more efficiently.

The emergence of USB Billboard Device Class devices with support for alternative modes will open up completely new possibilities. At the same time, each manufacturer will be able to create their own modes for devices of various types, taking into account their specifics.

Of course, one of the revolutionary changes that will affect the areas of PCs, peripherals and mobile devices, consumer equipment, etc. will be the introduction of the USB Type C connector, which is supposed to replace the USB plugs and sockets currently in use. On the one hand, the transition to a single connector for devices of all types will greatly simplify the life of users and reduce the number of cables required to a minimum. But, on the other hand, the industry and users will have to go through a very difficult and painful process of generational change. Previous solutions were characterized by maximum compatibility: the design of conventional USB plugs Type A and Type B allows you to easily connect them to the corresponding version 3.0 sockets. Now, to connect devices of different generations, you will have to use additional devices.

The USB 3.1 specification is backward compatible with earlier versions of the interface. However, with the advent of mass-produced devices equipped with a USB Type C connector, users will inevitably be faced with the need to purchase adapters and adapters that allow connecting new devices to older equipment with USB Type A, Type B and other types of sockets. Considering that about 4 billion devices equipped with a USB interface are currently produced annually, this problem will be highly relevant for at least the next five to six years.

It should also be noted that the full potential of the USB version 3.1 interface and the USB Type C connector in practice will be possible only when users accumulate at least a minimum amount of equipment equipped with these new products. Obviously, in the case of interaction between two devices of different generations, the functionality and maximum bandwidth of the interface will be limited by the characteristics USB controller older device.

According to experts from the well-known Taiwanese resource DigiTimes, mass-produced PC models, as well as mobile and peripheral devices equipped with USB 3.1 interface and USB connectors Type C, will go on sale in the first half of 2015. On the other hand, leading developers operating systems and software have already announced their readiness to release updates to implement USB 3.1 support in their products.

USB Type-C is not only an improvement to the charging port of the device, but also a great opportunity to replace the 3.5 mm jack.

What is USB Type-C? What is this format? Now we will understand this with an example universal device Promate Unihub-C.

Let's start with a little theory. Today, this format is a connector actively promoted on the market for connecting to peripherals and recharging devices.

It can be not only smartphones, but also some laptop models. The main difference from other formats is symmetrical plug. It is versatile and works regardless of connection side.

Development and certification were carried out by the USB Implementers Forum group of companies.

This group includes the largest electronics manufacturers such as Microsoft, Dell, HP, Intel and Samsung.

Many manufacturers supported the innovation, and are already actively begin to implement it in their new developments.

USB Type-C is the latest, but already merged into a number of standard formats, which is becoming more and more relevant.

In terms of physical appearance, such a connector differs from the standard designs of the MicroUSB and MiniUSB formats, as more technological modifications.

The specification for the new format is based on 24-pin USB device connectors.

We list the new characteristics of the modified format:

  • number of signal outputs - 24;
  • supported USB format - USB 3.1;
  • implementation mode of third-party interfaces is now supported alternatively;
  • increased data transfer rate to a maximum of 10 Gbps;
  • input current consumption is also increased, the maximum volume is 100 W;
  • standard dimensions - 8.34x2.56 mm.

Types of connectors

It is unlikely that many users remember such a connector as USB Type-A. Nevertheless, this connector is still used in the PC.

At the beginning of its existence, such a connector was very popular, and appearance USB is almost indistinguishable from modern plugs.

The USB Type-B Mini connector was more popular. More often, it is used in modern mobile devices, cameras and other devices.

With it, devices can be easily connected to a PC for data transfer. However, only the physical form was changed, and the standard remained the same - USB 2.0.

In order to somehow make the dimensions of smartphones and other mobile devices minimal, the format was optimized to Type-B Micro.

This connector format is used in 99% of smartphones and tablets based on . Even the very first smartphones have this connector.

The next step was to optimize USB to version 3.0, which, as we have already said, has been applied significant improvements to speed up the work.

Devices using USB Type-C

Devices that support given format appear in large numbers.

In the future it is planned to translate all android devices for this format. This will speed up the charging process of the device and the speed of data transfer between the device and the PC.

Google has announced that now their branded devices will have connectors of this format.

Thus, it turns out that the devices of this company will no longer be so easy to charge or connect to a PC, because the Type-C format has not yet been fully formed on the market.

You can buy a USB adapter cable only as a bundle with the device itself, since it is not so easy to find it separately yet.

Not all stores, which are most often within walking distance from us, are able to purchase such peripherals for sale.

It all comes from this - peripheral wires with a Type-C connector can be purchased so far only in specialized stores, and only if they are available.

However, there are companies that are already launched the release of USB hubs with Type-C support. For example, the Promate device is uniHub-C .

Such a device has several outputs at once - USB 3.1 Type-C with a charging port, two USB 3.0 ports and a 4K HDMI port.

Key Features

  • Allows you to charge your MacBook while being connected to USB 3.0 and HDMI devices
