>80gbps is a bit of a weird one. To work with 120gbps, that would imply that 80gbps is two lanes and 120gbps is three lanes in a single cable. I suppose this is possible with the type C connector as it has plenty of pairs.
As I understood it from TFA, 80gbps is realized with 2 lanes down, 2 lanes up; while 120gbps is realized with 3 lanes down, 1 lane up (yes, the opposite direction is capped to 40gbps).
So that's USB4Gen4x2x2 and USB4Gen4x3x1 if we use the current genxlane nomenclature? Who knows.
>There's no need for USB11 and USB12. Look at the 10/20/40/80/120Gbps sticker on the box. That tells you all you need to know.
I can't recall the last time I actually saw a gbps marking on USB cable/device marketing, so no I can't "look at the sticker" because it doesn't exist.
Just give me an unambiguous, whole, unique USB standard revision number for me to compare with my other devices and cables. The current system of superceding and overlapping standard revisions and meaningless genxlane numbers is fucking worthless and a waste of my time and nerves.
