USB 3.1 TYPE-C WITH REVERSIBLE ENDS
The UBS Implementers Forum has finalized the design for the next USB cable and port. USB 3.1 Type-C was created with emerging product designs with smaller ports in mind.
USB 3.1 specification will be faster as well. The current USB 3.0 connector can transfer data at up to 5Gbps (bits per second) while the Type-C connector doubles that to 10Gbps.
Type-C is expected to be completed by July and will show up in devices by the end of the year.
With so many USB devices in the market today, don't expect an immediate transition to the new cable. It's likely PCs will include new and old port styles side by side, and that people will have use for cables and adapters that bridge the old and new styles.
