Something that borders on the meme rating are the nomenclatures of the USB ports, that in recent years have suffered from several name changes, each one worse than the previous one, but in a change of scenery, it seems that the organization has decided to change the course of the nomenclatures, using only the connection speeds.
On the one hand, the devices will have to use a set of new logos and nomenclatures that they will limit themselves to mentioning the connection speed that we can expect from them, so instead of Nonsense like USB 3.2 Gen 2×2, now we’ll just stick to USB 20Gbps.
The cables will have similar nomenclatures, showing first the speed we can expect from thembut they will arrive accompanied by new logos that will also declare the maximum power that can pass through them, something important for devices with high fast charging requirements.
Let’s remember that the latest generation of USB is capable of sending data at 40Gbps while supplying 240W of power, so definitely it is important to be clear about these data, something that will facilitate the new nomenclature for these cableswhich we hope will be implemented as soon as possible for greater clarity.
