Why Doesn't EVERYTHING Use USB?

[@FelanLP]

This is the problem we have with USB-C right now. Every connector looks the same but they aren't the same. Just because it fits doesn't mean it's compatible.

[@samiraperi467]

Yes and no. Assuming standards are followed, they *are* compatible, but they don't have the same capabilities. What I really dislike about the situation is that you can't tell what a specific cable can do just by looking at it.

[@FelanLP]

@@samiraperi467 that's one thing. Every port on any cable should be Thunderbolt XY (or whatever) compatible by standard so that it doesn't matter which cable you grab for a given task. But not only that. The protocols aren't even standardised. My Google phone doesn't charge on a Samsung cable or vice versa and so on. No matter how much your smartphone could handle or the adapted could deliver. This was way easier with mini USB. But now it is like before the days of charging via USB. Every phone needs its own cable and adapter again. And this goes for everything where USB C is involved.

[@saladgreens912]

This exactly. From display outputs to PCIE tunneling. You don't know what's what. Past that you don't know if the cable you are using even supports the bandwidth for those capabilities. Even more problematic is power delivery. We already have different standards using the same connector that aren't compatible. In more extreme examples we have examples like early USB-C to type A cables or the Nintendo switch that lead to fried devices.

[@Nik930714]

@@LuLeBe Its isolated on the PCB. Its part of the ethernet standard. I guess you could force a USB cable for that, but there are less twisted pairs inside a USB cable, so we would need a new standard for that. Also crimping it "in the field" would be a pain. One of the good things about ethernet cables is that you can fit them trough small holes and then crimp then with inexpensive and simple tools. For USB its not so simple.

[@OgdenM]

Actually, Ethernet has its place in houses. Run wire to remote access points to extend your network beyond what Mesh can do. You can't daisy chain Mesh, all access points must connect directly back to the main gateway. So, it has to be in the dead center of a house. This causes issues in homes where you don't really have a choice where the main gateway lives. On top of that, some people want to extend their network outside or have big houses. Mesh won't always cover a whole house because again you can't daisy chain.

That way if they go bad, we can easily swap out the port. We don't have tools, training, parts, and most importantly, time for those types of repairs.

It seems to me the answer to the confuse a cable situation would be to have the system be able to recognize the device that’s been plugged in and give some kind of a visual or audible notice to the user. For instance, let’s say you plug a USB-C cable into the wrong port on a PC and then plug the other end into the monitor. The monitor could send a pilot signal out to the computer, which would have logic in it to identify what wants to communicate with it. If the port is not of sufficient level to support the peripheral, it would then send a signal back. This might be able to be done with both devices off, just using the standby power. there could be lights on either the cable or the device that would come on briefly to let you know that the ports are not compatible. Plugging in and seeing a quick red light at last for three seconds on the back of the monitor or the back of the computer would give a quick indication that the ports are not compatible. additionally, if you’re plugging in a device, like a hard drive, a monitor, a printer, etc., if they have any form of a screen or LED, that could instead be used to indicate to the user that there’s a problem with the connection. The color of the light or the message on the device could give more information. For instance, if the LED is full RGB, then the light blinks, or be different color as much as we see on other small devices to give the user information as to whether the cable is the problem, the compatibility is the problem, or other things that I can’t think of at the moment. This would initially increase costs, but costs would be somewhat reduced by not having to support many different input output, standards. Additionally, a standard for the color of the various ports, much like what is used for 3 mm jacks on the back of PCs to differentiate between mic, input and headphone output on a PC, could be used on USB ports to give another indication as to the purpose of a specific port. for instance, a port designed for video speeds, and below could be bright blue, while a port, that is only sufficiently fast for keyboards could be white. And we could revert to the old standards of pink, pale green and whatever the line output color is to indicate USB ports that could be used for analog signals.
