Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an industry standard that allows data exchange and delivery of power between many types of electronics. PCI Express and USB are serial buses.
USB-C
USB-C, or USB Type-C, is a 24-pin connector (not a protocol) that supersedes previous USB connectors and can carry audio, video, and other data, e.g., to connect to monitors or external drives.
USB4
USB4 (Universal Serial Bus 4), sometimes referred to as USB 4.0, is the most recent technical specification of the USB (Universal Serial Bus) data communication standard.
Very-high-density cable interconnect
A very-high-density cable interconnect (VHDCI) is a 68-pin connector that was introduced in the SPI-2 document of SCSI-3.
See PCI Express and Very-high-density cable interconnect
Video capture
Video capture is the process of converting an analog video signal—such as that produced by a video camera, DVD player, or television tuner—to digital video and sending it to local storage or to external circuitry.
See PCI Express and Video capture
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is a family of wireless network protocols based on the IEEE 802.11 family of standards, which are commonly used for local area networking of devices and Internet access, allowing nearby digital devices to exchange data by radio waves.
Wireless network interface controller
A wireless network interface controller (WNIC) is a network interface controller which connects to a wireless network, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or LTE (4G) or 5G rather than a wired network, such as an Ethernet network.
See PCI Express and Wireless network interface controller

64b/66b encoding
In data networking and transmission, 64b/66b is a line code that transforms 64-bit data to 66-bit line code to provide enough state changes to allow reasonable clock recovery and alignment of the data stream at the receiver.
See PCI Express and 64b/66b encoding
8b/10b encoding
In telecommunications, 8b/10b is a line code that maps 8-bit words to 10-bit symbols to achieve DC balance and bounded disparity, and at the same time provide enough state changes to allow reasonable clock recovery.
See PCI Express and 8b/10b encoding
