C2G is helping to educate AV and technology professionals on the ins and outs of USB4 and Type-C interfaces in its latest white paper, “A Comprehensive Guide to USB4 & Type-C for AV Pros.” The white paper, written by Legrand’s AV Technology Evangelist Joseph D. Cornwall, CTS-D/I, provides foundational knowledge of these new standards so AV and technology professionals can make the best connectivity design decisions.

“The benefits of this new standard can’t be overlooked; however, there are some critical takeaways to know when it comes to supporting today’s devices,” said Robert Mays, Associate Product Marketing Manager, C2G, A Brand of Legrand. “This white paper provides any professional with a good understanding of USB Type-C so they can carefully select the docking station to correctly support the application.”

This white paper will answer several key questions including:

• What are USB, USB4, Thunderbolt 4, and USB Type-C?
• How does USB Type-C handle power?
• How is Extended Power Range different from the existing Standard Power Range in USB4, and what does it mean for system design?
• What is a USB docking station?
• How is Power Delivery handled in docking stations?
• What is USB Type-C Alternate Mode?
  What are EMCA cables, and are they passive or active?
• How does video work over USB Type-C?
