In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides techniques for reducing an amount of bandwidth used for the communication of DisplayPort information via a USB Type-C receptacle. In some embodiments, this reduction in bandwidth allows for the concurrent exchange of USB 2.0 information, SuperSpeed information, and four lanes of DisplayPort information via a single USB Type-C receptacle. In some embodiments, this may be accomplished in part by processing the information from the four DisplayPort lanes to be transmittable via two differential pairs of the USB Type-C connection, thereby providing four lanes of DisplayPort communication over the USB Type-C connection concurrently with SuperSpeed information. In some embodiments, the reduction in bandwidth of the DisplayPort information may be used for other purposes, such as transmitting high bandwidth DisplayPort information over a cable or connector of a low quality that would otherwise not support such an exchange.
