I had an exchange on another forum and people there asserted USB type B is sturdier.
I'm simply asking the question here, so I can hear the answer from RME directly.
That's all.
And yeah, I forgot about that thread, but upon re-reading it, I guess you and I are on different wavelengths.
I believe my posts are courteous and civil, you seem to think I'm here looking for a fight.
I'm not. But I see nothing wrong with talking about things that I'd like to see in future products, or -as in this case- the pros and cons of one connector over the other.
Civil discourse propels humanity forward.
I don't want a fight. Sorry if I misunderstood your intent, but it was pretty easy to be misunderstood. because everything had already been mentioned in the other thread.
So to me it seemed like constant nagging on a topic, which isn't very nice to read either and that makes you wonder about the intent.
Further thoughts on the standardization efforts that led to USB-C. "One size fits all" doesn't fit everything well.
You often see results like this when standardization efforts overshoot the mark. Just because there are such standardization committees does not mean that something clever will come out of it.
Just because smaller and narrower designs of laptops and smartphones require such narrow plugs, it doesn't make sense
to make this a standard when there is no need at all to introduce such smaller fragile plugs for many other devices.
Rather larger designs, which also allowed a larger contact area for soldering the cables to it and thus higher cable diameters.
For example, the two casing halves of my USB-C cable have been falling apart again and again for quite some time. I had to glue it down with superglue, which I actually don't find that fancy either, then you can't get it open. This has never happened to me with other USB cables with Type A or Type B connectors.
