USB3 Type C -

[Bob Goodwin]

I installed a new MSI mainboard about a 
month ago that has four USB3 connectors 
on the back panel that accept nothing I 
have on hand. Apparently it is known as 
a "type C" connector. How do I deal with 
this? Googling has not produced much 
useful information, I may not have used 
the right keywords, but I would like to 
adapt them to the old style conventional 
connectors on my flash drives, cables, etc.

I know this is not strictly a Fedora 
problem but it is a problem in using my 
Fedora systems when I can't connect to 
then. I was not aware of the difference 
before I bought the board, would 
appreciate information on how others 
have dealt with this..

You will have to get adapters. The type C connector can supply higher
power (100W) than the type A connectors you're used to, and you can
insert it either-way up (it's symmetrical).

Note that the presence of a type C connector does not necessarily mean
you have USB 3 or USB 3.1--it can be used on USB 2.x as well. It's just
a connector and the idea is to get rid of the type A, type B, mini A,
mini B, micro A and micro B connectors and use a single one. USB 3 is
still indicated by a blue connector. USB 3.1 is turquoise (which sucks
as I'm mildly red/green color blind).

Ok, I was a bit overwhelmed by all the 
responses. I see there are adapters 
available although they may not be 
convenient to use. One of my concerns 
was whether the USB3/Type-C ports would 
be compatible with the earlier USB2 
stuff,it appears there is no problem 
there. The motherboard I replaced had 
USB3 with the old Type-A connectors and 
I know it worked as expected with USB2 
devices, but I saw the USB3.1 
designation when I googled it and that 
introduced and unknown. I guess that 
will work as well?

However, This MSI board claims to 
provide USB3.0 at the four Type-C 
connectors, dunno why they chose to do 
that with this board but they did and I 
have to deal with it. Adapters are 
probably the simplest solution but I 
will consider moving the two front panel 
TYPE-A connectors to an expansion port 
provided on the mainboard:

"JUSB3: USB 3.0 Expansion Connector
The USB 3.0 port is backwards compatible 
with USB 2.0 devices. It supports data
transfer rates up to 5Gbits/s (SuperSpeed)."

But you mention color perception, I have 
only recently come to realize that mine 
has deteriorated to the point where 
Iread only one panel right when my VA 
eye doctor tested me! That explains the 
agony I go through with the Fedora 
installation screens and their choice of 
text and background colors, some of 
which are essentially invisible to me! 
There was a time when I was able to pass 
the FAA medical exam ... Now I need 
white on black text.

Thanks to all for the responses,

Bob

you know Bob, it would be useful perhaps to say which motherboard model.

Sorry Dave, I was too lazy, finally dug 
out the box, it is an MSI H81M-E34 if 
that means anything to you and I bought 
a low end Intel Celeron processor that 
fit the socket. I don't need a super 
computer, prefer low power consumption, 
less heat and fan noise ...

I built them all up with rack and panel 
cases, 2 servers and this one that 
presently has F22, 24, and 25b on 
separate drives, selected at boot, set 
up on the desk next to me, very 
convenient and no crawling under the 
deskto get at connections as with a Dell 
I also use as a second computer.

You could go to the DongleCompany (formerly known as Apple) Store.  They
recently announced big discounts on the dongles, but not sure if you have to
own one of the current Apple products to qualify,

" USB Type-C isn’t the same thing as USB 3.1. USB Type-C is just a
connector shape, and the underlying technology could just be USB 2 or USB
3.0."

from:
http://www.howtogeek.com/211843/usb-type-c-explained-what-it-is-and-why-youl...

Just a new standard to replace a multitude of cables including, in time,
your audio/video cables, printer, data, et al.  This was touched on about
10 years ago when developers were talking about the use of photonics as a
data stream which would push data in the Tb ranges and reducing the need of
multiple cables to just one for everything.  While not directly related it
is a step in that direction. USB 3.1 (not the type C) reportedly will push
about 10 Gb/s.  As Dave pointed out, adapters will be needed for a spell.

I think his comment was more related to the fact that all USB3 uses the
Type-C connectors now.

Not true. I have USB3 ports on type A connectors on a new mobo.

I don't want to nitpick, but when was that mobo designed?  The new 
connectors might be too recent for it.

All USB3.1 the 3.0 will have the type A and that is the confusion it
seems... I have a 3.0 USB on the Laptop <6 months old with Type A and my
wife's phone, barely a month old, has a Type C connection.  This is just a
new tech transitional period we are in and we will be purchasing adapters
upgrading systems etc. to accommodate over the course of a few months or
more.  Change - it is the only things that doesn't change.

I don't have access to the design plans for it so I have no idea
although I bought one three months ago. All I'm saying is USB3 does not
mean type C connectors or vice versa. Will all new mobos have type C? I
don't know. I sure as hell hope not because I don't want to have to buy
a gazillion adapter cables if and when I replace my mobos.

So I'm an old fart and I do not subscribe to the "new is always better"
mantra that so many others seem to. I'm glad I still have my old Galaxy
phone so the damned battery doesn't explode in my pocket or cause 3rd
degree burns on my tush and I can replace it when it goes bad instead
of ponying up $300 for a new phone. Bloody ridiculous! Sheesh!

There are some quite new motherboards with
USB2.0 Type A, USB3.0 Type A, USB 3.1 Type A and USB3.1 Type C
Connectors on them.
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/X99-A-II/specifications/

And I don't think Type A will disappear, this mobo even has a PS/2
Connector. And those are arguably old.

My brandnew HP Probook 470 G4 laptop has both a type A and a type C
port, so I can use either connector.

An earlier post in this thread referred to adapters. The cheapest was 
almost $5 and was at the end of an 18" cable! What a PITA that would be!

My old computer didn't have USB3, so I put in a card--then I had to 
remote the connection to the front of the PC, which I did with Velcro. 
But it's

not as if the connection were built in to the case. And now to get two 
connections at the front of the computer we'll have to have TWO diddlies

like this!  Phooey!  And then I suppose that the new flash drives will 
all have the type C connectors, so they won't even plug into old ports. 
What a mess!

That's bloody brilliant.  Well done.

I must be an old fart too....
My system has a pretty old ATX LGA 775 MB with intel Q6700 & USB2 in a nice 
big coolermaster case which is really easy to upgrade.
To get USB3 I simply bought a new card which had 2 USB3 A connectors at the 
back and an internal connector to a card reader + USB3 A connector now on the 
front of the case.
I would never have a laptop as my main computer because of the inability to 
upgrade & add cards.
But isn't there an internal usb3 header to which you could attach a front 
panel usb3 connector (not very expensive).
