I think the IEEE got it right with their Ethernet standards:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_physical_layer#Naming...

The newer USB transfer speeds are basically using the same sort of line code as the Ethernet standards anyway. So doing something similar with USB would result in...

    1.5BASE-UT (USB 1.1)
    12BASE-UT (USB 2.0 FS)
    480BASE-UT (USB 2.0 HS)
    5000BASE-UT (USB 3.0 / 3.1 Gen 1 / 3.2 Gen 1)
    10GBASE-UT (USB 3.1 Gen 2 / 3.2 Gen 2)
    10GBASE-UT2 (USB 3.2 Gen 1 x2)
    20GBASE-UT2 (USB 3.2 Gen 2 x2)

Better? Worse?

Yes 100%. I'd add something about wattage as well given it ubiquity in charging these days like: 20GBASE-100W-UT2

That reads like .ıllı.ıllı. product

FireWire got it right. “FireWire 400” for 400mbps, “FireWire 800” for 800mbps. How complicated does this really need to be?

It's lacking that special obfuscation and deception IF seems to be famous for. Other than that it seems great.

PoE is a complete mess, as backwards compatibility among 2.5/5 10 Gbit devices

That only solves half of the issues. What about cables?

What does UT stand for?

[monocasa]

If it's following Ethernet, Unshielded Twisted-pair.

[userbinator]

USB twisted-pair.

"UnTwisted", I suppose
