USB 3.1

USB 3.1 is a specification published by the USB-IF.

A January 2013 press release from the USB group revealed plans to update USB 3.0 to 10 Gbit/s (1280 MB/s).[1] The group ended up creating a new USB specification, USB 3.1, which was released on 31 July 2013,[2] replacing USB 3.0 standard. USB 3.1 specification takes over existing USB 3.0's SuperSpeed USB transfer rate, now calling it USB 3.1 Gen 1, and introduces a faster transfer rate called SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps, also called USB 3.1 Gen 2,[3] putting it on par with a single first-generation Thunderbolt channel. The new mode's logo features a caption stylized as SUPERSPEED+. The USB 3.1 standard increases the maximum data signaling rate to 10 Gbit/s (1280 MB/s), double that of SuperSpeed USB, and reduces line encoding overhead to just 3% by changing the encoding scheme to 128b/132b.[4] The first USB 3.1 implementation demonstrated real-world transfer speeds of 7.2 Gbit/s.[5]

USB 3.1 Gen 1

USB 3.1 Gen 1 has the same 5 Gbit/s SuperSpeed maximum data signaling rate as USB 3.0.

USB 3.1 Gen 2

USB 3.1 Gen 2 has a new 10 Gbit/s (1280 MB/s) SuperSpeed+ maximum data signaling rate—double that of USB 3.0.

Relation to other specifications

The USB 3.1 standard is backward compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0.
