USB Cheat Sheet Cuts Naming Chaos
USB Cheat Sheet is a concise reference page by Fabien Sanglard that organizes USB naming, signaling speeds, lane counts, cable lengths, connector pin counts, and charging power into one practical guide. It was created after a real debugging mistake caused by confusing USB terminology, and it is useful for anyone trying to decode the difference between marketing names like USB 3.2 Gen 1, Gen 2x2, and USB4 variants.
// ANALYSIS
This is less a cheat sheet than a translator for a spec family that has become needlessly confusing.
