History and Evolution
Founded in 1993, Newnex is one of the key players and contributors in the field of USB and IEEE 1394 (FireWire™) connectivity implementations. The company is one of the earliest developers and a long-time member of both the USB Implementers Forum and the 1394 Trade Association, and was recommended by Intel as one of the top three USB component suppliers in the world for early adoption of USB technology.
Currently, Newnex is actively contributing to the recent development and implementation of the USB Type-C and USB4 specifications. For example, Newnex is one the two authors of the popular USB Type-C Duel Locking Connector Proposal that was originally proposed by Newnex. Later, this proposal becomes part of a USB standard named as “Universal Serial Bus Type-C Locking Connector Specification”, leading to its worldwide adoption across the industry.
