Usb Data Transfer Types. The changes in this specification make improvements in the following areas. Thunderbolt is another transfer speed standard used in some usb c cablesall thunderbolt 3 and 4 cables are usb c but not all usb c cables are thunderbolt.
Usb type c is designed as a one size fits all solution for data transfer and power supply on any device. Control bulk interrupt isochronous. The usb 10 specified data rates of 15 mbits low bandwidth or low speed and maximum output current of 5v500ma.
Earlier usb concepts such as endpoints and the four transfer types bulk control isochronous and interrupt are preserved but the protocol and electrical interface are different.
In terms of transfer rates for perspective the usb 10 specification introduced in 1996 offered a maximum data transfer rate of 12 megabits per second mbps.
