USB 3.2 is a USB (Universal Serial Bus) standard that builds on the previous USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 standards. It was developed to provide faster data transfer speeds and higher overall performance.
Increased data transfer speeds: USB 3.2 supports multi-channel data transfers at higher speeds than its predecessor.USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (the fastest version) has a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 20 gigabits per second (Gbps). This is achieved by using two 10 Gbps channels for a total transfer rate of 20 Gbps.
Backward Compatibility: USB 3.2 maintains backward compatibility with USB 3.1 and USB 3.0 devices. This means you can use USB 3.2 ports and cables with older USB devices, but data transfer speeds will be limited to USB 3.1 / 3.0 speeds.
Interface Connector Types: USB 3.2 can use a variety of connector types, including the familiar Type-A, Type-B, and reversible Type-C connectors. The type of connector used depends on the specific implementation and hardware.
USB 3.2 Gen 2x2: 2x faster than USB 3.1 Gen 2 (20 Gbps).
?
USB 3.2 Gen 2x1: Equivalent to USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps).
?
USB 3.2 Gen 1x2: 2x faster than USB 3.0 (10 Gbps).
?
USB 3.2 Gen 1x1: Equivalent to previous USB 3.0 (5 Gbps).
