The design is intended to make it difficult to insert a USB plug into its receptacle incorrectly. The USB specification requires that the cable plug and receptacle be marked so the user can recognize the proper orientation. [30] The USB-C plug however is reversible. USB cables and small USB devices are held in place by the gripping force from the receptacle, with no screws, clips, or thumb-turns as some connectors use.

USB2.0 was released in April 2000, adding a higher maximum signaling rate of 480Mbit/s (maximum theoretical data throughput 53MByte/s [25]) named High Speed or High Bandwidth, in addition to the USB1. x Full Speed signaling rate of 12Mbit/s (maximum theoretical data throughput 1.2MByte/s [26]). Popularized by Microsoft as Windows Easy Transfer, the Microsoft utility used a special USB bridge cable to transfer personal files and settings from a computer running an earlier version of Windows to a computer running a newer version. In the context of the use of Windows Easy Transfer software, the bridge cable can sometimes be referenced as Easy Transfer cable.USB ECN USB 2.0 VBUS Max Limit". USB-IF. November 3, 2021.

ACAs have three ports: the OTG port for the portable device, which is required to have a Micro-A plug on a captive cable; the accessory port, which is required to have a Micro-AB or type-A receptacle; and the charging port, which is required to have a Micro-B receptacle, or type-A plug or charger on a captive cable. The ID pin of the OTG port is not connected within plug as usual, but to the ACA itself, where signals outside the OTG floating and ground states are used for ACA detection and state signaling. The charging port does not pass data, but does use the D± signals for charging port detection. The accessory port acts as any other port. When appropriately signaled by the ACA, the portable device can charge from the bus power as if there were a charging port present; any OTG signals over bus power are instead passed to the portable device via the ID signal. Bus power is also provided to the accessory port from the charging port transparently. [50] USB Power Delivery [ edit ] The USB Type-C Charging logo ( USB4 20Gbps port) USB PD Rev. 1.0 source profiles [55] Profile High-speed USB2.0 hubs contain devices called transaction translators that convert between high-speed USB2.0 buses and full and low speed buses. There may be one translator per hub or per port. USB was designed to standardize the connection of peripherals to personal computers, both to exchange data with and to supply electric power. It has largely replaced interfaces such as serial ports and parallel ports and has become commonplace on a wide range of devices. Examples of peripherals that are connected via USB include computer keyboards and mice, video cameras, printers, portable media players, mobile (portable) digital telephones, disk drives, and network adapters. a b Universal Serial Bus Cables and Connectors Class Document (PDF), Revision 2.0, USB Implementers Forum, August 2007, p.6, archived (PDF) from the original on April 27, 2015 , retrieved August 17, 2014 DisplayLink is a technology which allows multiple displays to be connected to a computer via USB. It was introduced around 2006, and before the advent of Alternate Mode over USB-C it was the only way to connect displays via USB. It is a proprietary technology, not standardized by the USB Implementers Forum and typically requires a separate device driver on the computer.a b "Minty Boost — The mysteries of Apple device charging".

Several manufacturers offer external portable USB hard disk drives, or empty enclosures for disk drives. These offer performance comparable to internal drives, limited by the number and types of attached USB devices, and by the upper limit of the USB interface. Other competing standards for external drive connectivity include eSATA, ExpressCard, FireWire (IEEE 1394), and most recently Thunderbolt. A.

As of 14June2007 [update], all new mobile phones applying for a license in China are required to use a USB port as a power port for battery charging. [83] [84] This was the first standard to use the convention of shorting D+ and D− in the charger. [85] OMTP/GSMA Universal Charging Solution [ edit ] Starting with the USB 3.2 specification, USB-IF introduced a new naming scheme. [37] To help companies with branding of the different operation modes, USB-IF recommended branding the 5, 10, and 20Gbit/s operation modes as SuperSpeed USB 5Gbps, SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps, and SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps, respectively. [38].USB4 particularly supports the tunneling of the Thunderbolt 3 protocols, namely PCI Express (PCIe, load/store interface) and DisplayPort (display interface). USB4 also adds host-to-host interfaces. [2] Common charger: MEPs agree on proposal to reduce electronic waste". European Parliament. April 20, 2022. Archived from the original on April 22, 2022 . Retrieved April 20, 2022. The D± signals used by low, full, and high speed are carried over a twisted pair (typically unshielded) to reduce noise and crosstalk. SuperSpeed uses separate transmit and receive differential pairs, which additionally require shielding (typically, shielded twisted pair but twinax is also mentioned by the specification). Thus, to support SuperSpeed data transmission, cables contain twice as many wires and are larger in diameter. [34] The charging device identifies a charging port by non-data signaling on the D+ and D− terminals. A dedicated charging port places a resistance not exceeding 200Ω across the D+ and D− terminals.

USB4 products may optionally offer interoperability with the HDMI, MHL, and VirtualLink Alternate Modes. USB3.1, released in July 2013 has two variants. The first one preserves USB3.0's SuperSpeed operation mode and is newly labeled USB3.1 Gen 1, [32] [33] and the second version introduces a new SuperSpeedPlus operation mode under the label of USB3.1 Gen 2 (marketed as SuperSpeed+ USB). SuperSpeed+ doubles the maximum data signaling rate to 10Gbit/s (later (USB 3.2) marketed as SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps), while reducing line encoding overhead to just 3% by changing the encoding scheme to 128b/132b.
