Ushering in a new era of wired connectivity for consumers

摘要

The documentation for the latest consumer wired connectivity scheme, USB 3.1, is undoubtedly the spec that launched a thousand articles - and perhaps as many or more products! In the last few years, more seems to have been written about the new specification than any other interconnection scheme, and with justification. To begin with, there's the specification itself: the basic Universal Serial Bus 3.1 Specification released in July 2013 is 631 pages long; the Universal Serial Bus Power Delivery Specification released in March 2016 is 551 pages long; the Universal Serial Bus Type-C Cable and Connector Specification released in March 2016 is 248 pages long; and that's far from the end of it. It has been estimated that, all told, the documentation that makes up the spec is over 2,000 pages.
