At CES showed a universal USB Type-C cable

On Gikah and Habré news about readiness of USB Type-C cable for production was repeatedly published. It is worth recalling that this cable is universal, it can be inserted into the appropriate connector by any side. In addition, the cable supports Display Port technology.

Also, the cable can be used to work with data according to the SuperSpeed ​​USB standard (USB 3.1) and supply power (up to 100 W of power).

This is how the cable render looked, when it was announced by developers

Interestingly, the cable can be used to connect monitors with a resolution of 4096 * 2160 pixels (4K) and 30-bit color display depth. If you use all four lines in DisplayPort Alt Mode, you can also support monitors with a resolution of 5K (and these have already been demonstrated at CES), with the possibility of simultaneously transmitting USB 2.0 data over reserved USB Type-C pins.

Now, finally, the novelty has been demonstrated live.



The first device that works with the new cable was the Nokia N1 tablet. But there is no USB 3.1 support, only USB 2.0. So devices with the full support of the new standard should still appear. Most likely, such devices will appear later this year.
