Product Information

This made USB 2.0 the first USB standard viable for external storage in the form of devices like USB flash drives and USB external hard drives. USB Type-C also debuted during the USB 2.0 era but didn’t see widespread use until USB 3.0 and later. As of 2022, USB 3.2 is the real name of the standard, with 3.0 being renamed to “3.2 Gen 1”, and 3.1 being renamed to “3.2 Gen 2”. If this sounds confusing and pointless, that’s because it is. One port to rule them all: Thunderbolt3 and USB Type-C join forces". Archived from the original on 2 June 2015 . Retrieved 2 June 2015.

USB stands for Universal Serial Bus, a common standard launched in 1996. Before this, there was a much wider variety of different connectors commonly used for linking PCs and compatible hardware. Examples you might be familiar with include multiple versions of serial ports, D-Sub, and parallel ports. Providing a DisplayPort 1.4 signal (you will need a passive adapter). The icon mentioned is the DisplayPort logo, so it is used correctly to help clarify a little bit of the chaos that USB-C is (but you still cannot tell whether the port is 1.3 or 1.4 capable though).

During CES 2020, USB-IF and Intel stated their intention to allow USB4 products that support all the optional functionality as Thunderbolt 4 products. The first products compatible with USB4 are expected to be Intel's Tiger Lake series and AMD's Zen 3 series of CPU, released in 2020. Also the "only one at a time" before the capabilities listing was a lie: USB 3.1 Gen 2 and half a DisplayPort is also a possibility (but more often than not only Gen 1 is provided). This "mixed mode" is officially called MFDP which is a real confusing name as it befits everything around USB C because the abbrevation stands for Multifunction DisplayPort but the DisplayPort part occupies two lanes, USB another two lanes, they are completely separate and DisplayPort certainly doesn't gain additional functionality. It provides as much display bandwidth as DisplayPort 1.1 used to aka aka 8.64 Gbit/s, which is enough for 3440 x 1440 at 60 Hz or a 4K @ 30 Hz -- use this calculator to see how much bandwidth a certain monitor needs.
