INFO:
The Taurus UCX series devices generally present 1 tier in the USB topology (a HUB). An exception
is the USB2 layer on Type-C ports, which present two tiers (two HUBs).

The USB 3.1 standard is backwards compatible. This means the High-speed channels (USB 2.0 lines) are
used if the connected device or cable capability is only USB 2.0.
USB-A, USB-B and USB-C connectors also have high-speed data lines besides Superspeed.
The built-in USB-Ethernet bridge provides Ethernet for the USB-C connection. It is still available while the USB
3.1 Gen1 data channels are reserved for video or USB data transmission. For more details, see
INFO:
USB.2.x and 3.x data transfer happens on two independent layers simultaneously.
USB Features
DisplayPort Alternate Mode
This function is available only for USB type C connectors. See more details in
section.
Host detection
One host is available at the same time. Taurus UCX series devices give a feedback about the connected
hosts.
In case of USB Type-B ports: When the 5V is detected on USB Vbus, the
Connected
property becomes true.
In case of USB Type-C ports: USB Type-C introduced the port Power Roles: Sink port, Source port and Dual
Role Power port. Supplying VBUS is not the privilege of the USB Host anymore.
Detecting the presence of a BYOD device on Type-C ports is done using the Power Delivery protocol over the
Communication Channel.
