Description

• Extreme Intel USB 3.1 controller

  The Intel USB 3.1 controller utilizes 2 PCIe Gen3 lanes, offering 16 Gb/s of total bandwidth, for uncompromised transfer speeds of up to 10 Gb/s per USB 3.1. With twice the bandwidth compared to its previous generation, and backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 and 3.0, the much improved USB 3.1 protocol is available over the reversible USB Type-C and the traditional USB Standard-A connector for better compatibility over a wider range of devices.

• Connecting the future - USB Type-C

  The USB Type-C is a reversible connector that is loaded with useful features such as USB 3.1 support for 10 Gb/s transfer speed and DisplayPort support to connect 4K monitors. Powered by the Intel controller, this little port is the better USB Type-C.
