Speaking of the USB3.1 interface, many people will think that there is only one interface: USB 3.1 Type-C interface, but it is not. So what is the difference between USB 3.1 and USB Type-C?

Strictly speaking, USB 3.1 is a transmission standard. After the development of USB 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0, USB 3.1 has made great progress in all aspects. USB Type-C, to be precise, is an interface standard. There are three interface standards for USB 3.1, namely USB Type A, USB Type B (Micro USB) and the latest USB Type-C. Currently, the Type A interface is mainly used as a connection port for devices such as computers. Micro USB is mainly used in small devices such as smart phones, and widely used. As for USB Type-C, due to various characteristics, it is called the most promising interface standard for unifying interfaces.

Pls note that there is no absolute correlation between USB 3.1 and USB Type-C. Knowing that there is a USB Type-C interface does not necessarily mean that it supports the USB 3.1 standard. The USB 3.1 standard does not necessarily have to be a USB Type-C interface. At this point, don't be fooled by bad vendors. So this knowledge is very important to everyone.
