We're all familiar with using USB cables and accessories. After all, we've been using it with our computers since 1996. Apple is the first manufacturer to widely promote it within all its devices\peripherals to ease connectivity issues. Now, every mobile device relies on it as a defacto charging standard.
Yes… it's really has been that long.
Connecting different devices, charging them, and transferring data would be more challenging if it wasn't for USB.
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, an industry body that drives USB improvements, recently announced the planned release of USB 4 v2.0.
What's exciting about that, you ask?
They allow you to double the data transfer speeds on cables you 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 consists of tech giants like Microsoft, Apple, HP, and Intel.
Its primary job is to extend USB capabilities to meet the current market's demand and extend support for more platform types.
We expect to have an update on USB 4 v2.0 around November.
