Product Information

The USB3.0 standard does not directly specify a maximum cable length, requiring only that all cables meet an electrical specification: for copper cabling with AWG26 wires the maximum practical length is 3 meters (9ft 10in). [89] USB bridge cables [ edit ] The USB 3.0 specification introduced an A-to-A cross-over cable without power for connecting two PCs. These are not meant for data transfer but are aimed at diagnostic uses. Thunderbolt combines PCI Express and Mini DisplayPort into a new serial data interface. Original Thunderbolt implementations have two channels, each with a transfer speed of 10Gbit/s, resulting in an aggregate unidirectional bandwidth of 20Gbit/s. [115] USB takes full advantage of the additional processing power that can be economically put into peripheral devices so that they can manage themselves. As such, USB devices often do not have user-adjustable interface settings.

Thunderbolt 3 uses USB-C cables; the USB4 specification allows hosts and devices and requires hubs to support interoperability with the standard using the Thunderbolt 3 Alternate Mode.

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]). Controversially, USB 3.2 and USB 3.1 also retroactively rename the older versions of the USB standard.The different A and B plugs prevent accidentally connecting two power sources. However, some of this directed topology is lost with the advent of multi-purpose USB connections (such as USB On-The-Go in smartphones, and USB-powered Wi-Fi routers), which require A-to-A, B-to-B, and sometimes Y/splitter cables. The current trend has seen most DisplayPort ports being replaced with HDMI on the majority of new Consumer devices, however they continue to show a strong presence on Business devices.

DisplayPort was designed specifically for computers as the ultimate display interface to replace the older video standards - However it works more as a complement to HDMI that a replacement of it.

A connector is used to join conductors electrically or mechanically together. The functionality of a USB device is defined by a class code sent to a USB host. This allows the host to load software modules for the device and to support new devices from different manufacturers.Grunin, Lori (4 March 2019).
