USB-C 2.1 announced with faster speeds

The USB-C standard is one of the most important connectivity standards today. Most of the leading technology companies have started to rely on it in their various devices. Especially since it supports various forms of connection. Following the announcement of the improved version of USB-C 2.1, the use of this standard is expected to increase significantly.

The USB-C 2.1 standard includes an update to both the ports used in the devices, on the one hand, and the connections, on the other. This standard is managed and developed by an organization known as USB-IF. And now the popular connectivity technology supports data transfer, device charging, as well as connecting devices to screens perfectly.

Perhaps one of the most important updates in the new version is to support a power of up to 240 watts, after the maximum was 100 watts in the previous generation. And this ability will be very useful for different types of devices. An example of this is gaming laptops.

This means that devices that require a large amount of power, such as laptops, will no longer need dedicated chargers and can be charged directly using a USB-C 2.1 connection and a charger supporting the same standard.

The new standard takes advantage of the USB PD 3.1 fast charging standard.

USB-C 2.1 standard for charging and content transfer

USB-C chargers and connectors are different. Usually, all of them support fast charging. But certain models of them support displaying screen content or transferring files at high speed.

The new standard will also support data transfer at speeds of up to 40Gbps, which is a very high speed.

The new 240W charging capacity is also expected to provide a significant benefit in the near future.
