To summarize, USB 3.1 generally refers to the latest USB data transfer standard while USB Type-C is for a new USB connector type. A USB Type-C port is not necessary to support USB 3.1 data transfer. A USB 3.1 cable is not necessary to have a Type-C connector for the cable assembly.Jun 14, 2017

When it comes to USB 3.1 Gen 1 and Gen 2, the only difference is speed and they're backwards compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0.
