where further details on the type are required. Formally, a cable type and properties are defined by a specific specification version, which was used during the development / design of said cable model, so each cable would be a valid and possibly certified cable according to a specific set of USB specification versions like "Type-C 2.3, USB 3.2, USB4 Version 2.0". But the standard is also designed to be interoperable, in that a newer specification version typically adds new modes of operation, new cable types, but does not restrict previously existing things. Because that would make existing things incompatible with new products. For this purpose even the older USB logos and labels did not include a specification version, but only stated
627:, also called physical layer or phy. USB4 connections can be expressed with consumer facing names that are also the basis for the official logos used on packaging and products. These are the "20 Gbps", "40 Gbps", "80 Gbps" labels and they do not explicitly indicate how the connection is achieved on the physical layer. There are also more technical names based on the implementation and use of the USB-C cables. These usually consist of a speed per wire-pair expressed as Gen 1/2/3/4 (5 Gbit/s, 10 Gbit/s, 20 Gbit/s, 40 Gbit/s respectively) and some further information on how many wire-pairs are used in which combination. 29: 2451: 742: 985: 1023: 935: 877: 817: 585:, bandwidth must be reserved for them. USB4 mandates that in absence of any other information, the maximum possible bandwidth for the particular DP connection (DP lanes and speed) must be reserved. This reservation only applies to other real-time tunnels though. Reserved, but unused bandwidth can be used by non-real-time tunnels such as PCIe or USB3, but the reservation may still block other DP tunnels from being established. 782: 2227: 2194: 2057: 2024: 1768: 611:, all packets passing through must be limited accordingly. Because USB4 uses a payload of up to 256 Byte per USB4 packet and a PCIe tunnel packet contains further PCIe headers and meta data, the MPS for PCIe tunnels was limited to 128 Byte. This limitation can reduce the efficiency of the PCIe connection greatly for all devices and systems that would otherwise support 256 Byte or even larger MPS. 430:
consumption features (e.g. charging of a notebook) are required, but can of course be supported following the USB PD specification. as well as supplying considerably more power. The USB PD protocol must always be supported (exchanging data according to the protocol. This is separate from any functionality of PD to negotiate actual power delivery other than 5V or > 15W).

operating in either direction). Active cables can have further limitations as the active electronics may only support specific signaling modes. There are 2 variants of active electronics. Linear ReDrivers only amplify the signal without any particular signaling mode or encoding in mind. ReTimers explicitly reconstruct the incoming signal for a higher quality result.

backward compatibility support, so as to behave as if they were regular, passive cables in the eyes of the consumer. But forward compatibility is limited for active cables. Only Optically Isolated Active Cables (OIAC), that should be clearly distinguishable (price, design, cable thickness, advertising) is allowed to strip most of the backwards compatibility away.
2293:
USB4 launched with passive Gen 3 cables supporting TB3 40 Gbit/s on an electrical level, but where not mandated to identify in the historical way TB3 identified those cables (because that predates the existence of "Gen 3"). Early passive USB4 cables may thus not be identified as TB3 40 Gbit/s capable

USB4 forms a tree-like topology of USB4 routers (each USB4 device includes a USB4 router to participate in this network). A tunnel can be end-to-end, where the route through the entire network of routers is preconfigured. But tunnels can also be single-hop, where it exists only for a single USB4 link
463:
Every USB4 port must support the USB4 protocol / connections, which is a distinct standard to establish USB4 links / connections between USB4 devices that exists in parallel to previous USB protocols. Unlike USB 2.0 and USB 3.x it does not provide a way to transfer data directly, but rather
2382:
DP 2.1 aligned itself to the USB4 PHY layer according to Vesa, the creator of DisplayPort. It is unclear how complete this alignment is, however the UHBR10 DP speed matches USB4 Gen 2 in bit rate and encoding and UHBR20 DP Speed matches USB4 Gen 3 in bit rate and encoding. A USB and DP certification
2378:
TB4 cables, even active ones, at least up to 2m in length are guaranteed to support DP Alt mode. A specific max. speed is also not mentioned, but the other requirements for TB4 all refer to DP 1.4 and its max. speed of HBR3. TB5 renews the same guarantee for "80 Gbps" cables while referencing the DP
1321:
A USB4 peripheral device is defined by not having any USB4 DFP. This means devices that are colloquially called "USB-C Hubs" may use USB4 to support the dynamic bandwidth sharing or higher bandwidths of USB4. But they are not USB4 Hubs if they do not have any USB4 DFP. Not having any USB4 DFP allows

The USB 3.x family has had the same technical notation retroactively added in the USB 3.1 and USB 3.2 specification versions. Though this shows common principles and the same generations refer to the same nominal speeds, "Gen A" does not have the same exact meaning in both USB 3.x and USB4
527:
according to the USB 3.2 specification. USB3 Gen X follows the Enhanced SuperSpeed Hub topology, where every USB4 router with more than one USB3 endpoint must include a USB3 hub as well. It is the default way USB3 connections through USB4 are made. Supporting it at 10 Gbit/s (SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps,

On 1 September 2022, the USB Promoter Group announced the pending release of the USB4 Version 2.0 specification, and the specification was subsequently released on 18 October 2022. It added 80 Gbit/s speeds with optionally asymmetric connections, a new, optional alternative to the existing "USB3 Gen

Through this, it eschews the need for USB3 hubs in every USB4 router that can and will limit the throughput. It allows multiple separate USB3 Gen T tunnels even over shared links. Since it is an end-to-end tunnel, every USB4 hub will support passing it through. USB3 Gen T is intended as exclusively
1279:
Thunderbolt 3 Gen 2 and Gen 3 and the USB4 Gen 2 and Gen 3 modes use very similar signaling, however, Thunderbolt 3 runs at slightly higher speeds called legacy speeds compared to rounded speeds of USB4. It is driven slightly faster at 10.3125 Gbit/s (for Gen 2) and 20.625 Gbit/s
1698:
USB-IF intends only for the new, bandwidth-based logos and names to be used with consumers. And for cables, the type (passive, active) and the highest supported bandwidth are usually enough to uniquely identify a cable and its supported features. Although some active types make clear distinctions
630:
USB commonly defines a "Lane" as a (bidirectional) connection, which for all recent transmission modes consists of one sending and one receiving wire-pair. The "Gen AxB" notation refers to B Lanes of operation mode A. Since Gen 4 modes also introduced asymmetric connections with uneven numbers of

A Protocol Input Adapter will ingest a connection according to whatever protocol it is based on and convert the contents into a USB4 tunnel. Protocol Output Adapters do the reverse. They extract a tunnel from the USB4 network and if needed recreate a regular connection from the tunnel contents.
429:
The USB4 specification makes no explicit demands on power output. It outsources all requirements in terms of power to the Type-C specification that underpins all USB, Vesa and other standards that use the USB-C connector. This requires a USB4 DFP to supply at least 7.5W Type-C current. No power
342:
Around the release of the new USB4 Version 2.0 specification, USB-IF also transitioned to new logos and names to simplify representing the maximum supported speeds (and wattages) to consumers. The new names are unified across all USB standards and removed the prior, explicit distinction between
1685:
The Type-C standard supports cable backward / downward compatibility in many situations. The compatibility typically only breaks between the different families of standards (USB&2.0, USB 3.2, USB4). The USB4 standard mandates that classic active or hybrid active cables still have vast
2374:
Active cables may have additional complications, because the active electronics do not need to operate all high speed wire-pairs in the same direction for normal USB operations (but "80 Gbps" cables are mandated to support asymmetric connections, which includes at least some of the wire-pairs
2370:
The Type-C specification does not name specific DP speeds that it considers supported for passive cables and support is optional for active cables. The USB-C presentation on DP Alt mode calls out passive full-featured USB-C cables for their DisplayPort support and headroom for future DP speed
2408:
The USB4 specification states that a design goal is to "Retain compatibility with existing ecosystem of USB and Thunderbolt products." Compatibility with Thunderbolt 3 is required for USB4 hubs; it is optional for USB4 hosts and USB4 peripheral devices. Compatible products need to implement
351:
Similarly to how USB 3.x defined the new SuperSpeed protocols for faster connections, but also mandated that any USB3 port still include the pins and functionality for the previous USB2 connections, the USB4 specification describes 2 different aspects. The first one is what type of existing

family currently defines 3 different speeds (Low-, Full-, High-Speed), all are required to be supported. The newest available version of this specification is USB 2.0 Rev. 2.0. USB 2.0 abilities uses separate wires on the Type-C connector that are not used by USB 3.2 or USB4
1703:. This logo identified cables that could support the 10 Gbit/s connection speeds of USB3 across both the USB 3.1 and USB 3.2 version, because the requirements for the cables have not changed. Thus the precise specification version is usually not relevant and would not make a difference. 614:
USB4 Version 2.0 removes this bottleneck (mandatory for all implementers), by defining how a larger PCIe packet can be split across multiple USB4 packets. Support for this new feature requires every USB4 component / controller involved in the PCIe tunnel to implement USB4 Version 2.0.
330:
Goals stated in the USB4 specification are increasing bandwidth, helping to converge the USB-C connector ecosystem, and "minimize end-user confusion". Some of the key areas to achieve this are using a single USB-C connector type, while retaining compatibility with existing USB and
1706:
Transmission modes such as Gen2x2 are also irrelevant to cables, as valid cables are either full-featured, having all the high speed wire-pairs for up to dual-lane connections at the stated speed or they are USB2-only or some other specific and restrictive type as listed below.
1283:
USB4 Gen 4 is normally referred to as a speed of "40 Gbps" or 40 Gbit/s, with the full connections based on it being referred to as 80, 120/40, 40/120 Gbit/s. But since the actual signaling no longer is binary, the actual raw bit rates no longer match those numbers exactly.
1689:
The Gen 4 transmission mode, with PAM-3 uses very different signaling to previous modes. Every active components needs to explicitly support this new signaling. But it stays within all signal quality requirements of existing, passive Gen 3 cables (USB4 and TB3).
450:
USB4 Hubs and Docks are defined as their own category of USB4 devices, that include further requirements. For example, a USB4 Hub must also serve as a classic USB 3.2 hub with DP Alt mode passthrough with hosts that do not support USB4 connections. See

underlying connection standard. But since most tunnel types will eventually be converted back to a regular, physical connection again, most of those physical limitations, like max. bandwidth are still likely to apply in the end.
532:. The minimum supported speed for the USB3 connection being tunneled is 10 Gbit/s as every USB4 device already has to support this speed and USB3 Hubs handle converting this to 5 Gbit/s devices that may be connected. 580:
DP tunneling has great understanding of the contents of DP connections, and will efficiently skip/transmit any filler data, reducing the actually utilized bandwidth of a DP tunnel. But since DP connections have
