What is the difference between USB-C and USB 3.1?

A new confrontation has plunged all the geeks into an internal struggle. USB 3.1 (the "All Life improved") or the USB-C, which of the two is better?

The USB-C is not new, but it has jumped to the fore thanks to the new MacBook of 12 "that Apple launched only a few months ago, that surprised own and strangers by integrating a multifunction únicopuerto.

Apple says for comfort and aesthetics though, why not say it, seems to have been thinking about selling additional adapters.

Android m: More battery, less threats and USB-C

However, there are many rumors that have emerged around this multifunctional USB type C that are not entirely true. It is true that this connector allows more functionality than the traditional, but it is not Superman, after all it is a simple connector, without denying that it is a step forward above the standard USB.

USB 3.1

This type of connector is the logical evolution of the USB that we have always known. Several USB-standard updates have already passed (now on 3), but the connector has remained the same. Its use is more widespread than ever, even though it is large, old and can only be connected in one direction. Being such a big connector, the manufacturers started to create smaller versions of the same as the Mini USB and the USB Micro.

Apple invented the USB-C, but does not want anyone to know

However, this connector exceeds previous power upgrades. The 3.1 has updated the USB 3.0 standard at a rate of 10 gbits/s, a data transfer rate present and future.

The USB association created in July of 2013 the new version of the standard protocol, the USB 3.1 with a higher rate of data transfer called SuperSpeed USB 10Gbit/S, published by the USB-IF.

USB-C

This type of connector maximizes the load speed you can transmit, it is smaller, you can enter it on either side and also allows the USB power delivery function which establishes an electric transfer limit of up to 100 W, enough to load your Smartphone, tablet, and even laptop.

This USB-C assumes the removal of all future laptop chargers. A multi purpose connector in which in addition to loading your device, you can charge your laptop with the charger you want, not the one that comes by default, in even you can charge it with an external battery if you want.

This undoubtedly opens a large projection to the USB-C while the inevitable extinction of the traditional USB begins.

Other advantages of USB-C are that all devices will use this same connector. In addition, the cables will have in the two equal terminations, eliminating the multitude of different cables that we have to use today, one for the camera, another for the mobile, another for the laptop etc.

In addition, the USB Type-C, being nothing more than a connector, supports several protocols using alternative modes, which allows to use it as digital video and audio output (HDMI), DisplayPort output, analog video output (VGA) etc.

Clarifications USB-C vs USB 3.1

Sometimes distinguish between one and the other is complicated, although physically they are different it is easy to find "cat by Hare". There will be devices with USB-C connector using USB 2.0 protocol or USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1), and others using USB 3.1 (USB 3.1 Gen 2).

We can also find USB-C that do not support the USB Power delivery specification, or that there are ports with that specification that do not have a USC Type-C connector. So before you choose one or the other we recommend you to study in detail its characteristics.
