USB 3.0 Cable
     USB3.0 will be one of most popular interfaces using by consumers in super speed connection between PC and its peripherals. Various types of devices and media formats now are increasingly converging, hence the demand of data rate becomes the major concern in applications.

       According to USB-IF (http://www.usb.org/developers/ssusb), USB3.0 will embrace some significant features as follows:

SuperSpeed USB has a 5 Gbps signaling rate offering 10x performance increase over Hi-Speed USB.

SuperSpeed USB is a Sync-N-Go technology that minimizes user wait-time.

SuperSpeed USB will provide Optimized Power Efficiency. No device polling and lower active and idle power requirements.

SuperSpeed USB is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. Devices interoperate with USB 2.0 platforms. Hosts support USB 2.0 legacy devices.
