USB-C Radio Frequency Interference?

[Doc69]

There's been a lot of talk about the Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) of USB 3.0. Does USB-C and/or Thunderbolt also produce RFI, or is it only applicable to USB 3.0? I never heard of any issues with USB 2.0 or FireWire.

Since you post the link, I expect you already real it and know the answer. Of course they do, but just not at 2.5GHz band.

Sounds like you may be confused about the nomenclature: USB-C is the physical connector design. USB 3.0 is the electrical signaling specification. Typically, USB-C ports are communicating using USB3. (Exceptions are when connecting to USB2, Thunderbolt, or DisplayPort devices.)

FYI: The old USB connector is called USB-A for the computer end, and USB-B for the square peripheral end.
