The TYPE-C waterproof socket and the USB3.1 standard were launched almost at the same time. The TYPE-C waterproof socket specification is indeed formulated in accordance with USB3.1, so USB3.1 can of course be made into Type-C, but USB3.1 also has The difference between Gen1 and Gen2 (Generation 2).
The biggest difference between USB3.1Gen1 and Gen2 is the transfer rate.
The maximum transfer rate of USB3.1Gen1 can reach the theoretical bandwidth of 5Gb\/s
The theoretical bandwidth of USB3.1Gen2 maximum transfer rate can reach 10Gb\/s
USB3.1 is based on the latest USB transmission specification. The new USB3.1 interface doubles the bandwidth to 10Gbps. It is worth noting that the encoding rate is also increased again. USB3.0 is 8b10b encoding, that is, for every 10bit of data transmitted, only 8bit is For real data, the remaining 2 bits are used as the check code, so the entire bandwidth will lose up to 20 percent (2\/10), while the new USB3.1 uses 128b\/132b encoding. In 132bit data, only 4 bits are used as the check code , the transmission loss rate is greatly reduced to 3 percent (4\/132). Therefore, USB3.1 not only increases the bandwidth, but also improves the transmission efficiency a lot. Compared with the 5V\/0.5A of USB2.0, USB3.0 provides 5V\/0.9A power supply. But people still hope to have a stronger power supply capability, so USB3.1 (SuperSpeed Plus) increases the maximum allowable standard of power supply to 20V\/5A, and the power supply is 100W.
It seems that USB3.1 has many benefits, but everyone must pay attention that USB3.1 and USB TYPE-C waterproof female seat are two different things. Strictly speaking, USB3.1 is a transmission standard, while USB TYPE-C The waterproof female seat is precisely an interface standard. There are three interface standards in USB3.1, namely USB TypeA, USB TypeB (MicroUSB) and the latest USB Type-C.
There is no absolute relationship between USB3.1 and TYPE-C waterproof female socket. You must know that USB TYPE-C waterproof female socket does not necessarily support USB3.1 standard. USB3.1 standard is not necessarily USB TYPE-C waterproof female socket. Everyone must keep their eyes open and don't be fooled by unscrupulous manufacturers.
