DX07 Series USB Type-C® Plug Connector Compatible with USB4® Has Been Launched

Capable of 80Gbps High-speed Transmission and 240W Power Supply

January 26, 2023

Japan Aviation Electronics Industry (JAE) has developed and launched a USB Type-C plug compatible with the latest USB4 Version 2.0 (transmission speed up to 80Gbps) and USB PD EPR (maximum 240W power delivery) specifications.

DX07 series USB4 compatible plug
 

While the original USB4 standard released in September 2019 already enabled transmission speeds up to 40Gbps on PCs, the next USB4 Version 2.0 standard was released in October 2022 to further increase the transmission speeds. USB4 Version 2.0 features high-speed transmission that is double the previous version. (up to 80Gbps) The connectors are expected to be adopted on more devices that require high-speed transmission of large volumes of data.
Power delivery standards for USB devices (USB Power Delivery Revision 3.1 [PD 3.1]) and cable and connector standards (USB Type-C Specification Release 2.2) were also updated to meet the needs of high-speed transmission and increased power delivery capabilities. The Extended Power Range (EPR) mode that was newly added in the USB PD 3.1 standard increases maximum power delivery capabilities to 48V and 5A (240W), and it is expected to be used in devices that require large amounts of power such as gaming PCs and 4K monitors.

This product is compatible with these latest standards and is a connector that is ideal for USB Type-C products that enable 80Gbps high-speed transmission and 240W power delivery. It features high performance and reliability, and it is also used as the USB4 Golden Plug, the only certification test tool specified by USB-IF.

As a leading manufacturer of connectors and harnesses, JAE has been involved in the establishment of the USB Type-C Connector and Cable standard from the beginning, and we will continue to meet the wide-ranging needs of our customers by improving the design flexibility of devices and boards.
