USB introduces new logo scheme to simplify identification of docking stations and cables

pcworld.com

The USB Implementor Forum has introduced a new labeling scheme for USB docking stations, focusing on speed. Consumers will now see clear logos like "USB 80Gbps" or "USB 40Gbps" on products, replacing confusing terms like "USB 3.2 Gen 2." This change aims to simplify identification of USB technology, especially for USB-C ports, which often lack clear labels. The updated logos will also apply to cables, indicating their data speeds and power capabilities. The move follows criticism of previous naming conventions and is intended to help consumers make informed choices when purchasing USB products.
