USBC cable options

110v vs 220v plugs

for all their intelligence, they are really stupid… a 110 plug is purposely different than a 220 plug for good reasons… but no, USBC has to be a total shitshow… USBCs all look the same and they range from 480mbps to 40gbps… that is so one cable is eighty (x80) times faster than another!!! with near to zero indication on the cable!!!

USBC 2.0 is slow and unusable at 480mbps

USBC 3.1 gen 1                         05 gbps

USBC 3.1 gen 2                         10 gbps

Thunderbolt 1 through 4.       up to 40 gbps

next time before you buy one be sure you’re buying the right cable as they all look the same.  while they all fit, thunderbolt cables are more expensive but only good, if your devices can handle the speeds. if you have a 05 gbps drive or port using a 40 gbps thunderbolt 4, while it will work, will only give you data transfers of 05 gbps. confusing? yes. by jr
