USB4 is a hardware interface that supports several protocols through the USB Type-C connector. Based on the Thunderbolt protocol specification, the USB4 architecture doubles the bandwidth of USB and enables multiple simultaneous data and display protocols.
It enables users to connect a diverse collection of external devices to a computer.
