ITPEC FE Morning October 2018 — Question 13 of 80

USB 3.0 SuperSpeed — identify the correct description of USB 3.0.

USB 3.0 is a serial interface with a transfer mode called SuperSpeed at 5 Gbps.

  • USB 2.0 = High-Speed at 480 Mbps
  • USB 3.0 = SuperSpeed at 5 Gbps (~10× faster)

Why not others:
- (b) Isochronous + broadcast — describes IEEE 1394 (FireWire), used for audio/video streaming

- (c) 2 bits per cycle, 4 pairs, 1 Gbps — describes 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet)

- (d) Serial ATA for peripherals — describes SATA, used for connecting storage devices to a PC

Key rule: USB 3.0 = SuperSpeed = 5 Gbps serial interface.
