Version 2.0 of USB 4 is officially here, based on the announcement of the USB Promoter Group yesterday This major update will enable USB 4 Version 2.0 to have speeds of up to 80Gbps using a USB Type-C cable and connector. For reference, the first version of USB 4 can handle up to 40Gbps. Aside from this, compatibility won’t be an issue because USB 4 version 2.0 can still work with today’s current hardware. To wrap our heads to this speed, 80Gb (Gigabit) is equal to 10GB (GigaByte), which means transferring a 10GB file using USB 4 version 2.0 will only take 1 second, in a theoretical manner. As of now, there’s still no announcement when USB 4 version 2.0 will be available for consumers, only developers will have access to this sweet technology in the meantime. Japanese peripherals manufacturer Elecom has become the first company to have their USB4 2.0 cables certified. This year, Elecom has made two types of USB Type-C cables that have stood out. These include a USB4 2.0 cable with 80Gbps transfer speed and 60W of power delivery.
