The USB (Universal Serial Bus) standard has become the standard for
connecting computers to additional devices. Vivanco only supplies the
USB 2.0 standard in the USB range for data transfer rates of up to 480
Mbs. All cables and adapters are downwards compatible with USB 1.1.
Printers, scanners, webcams, HUBs, mice, keyboards and other newer
devices , such as USB sticks or USB dongles, can be connected simply
and easily during operation, known as hot plugging, USB is being used
increasingly to replace older serial and parallel connections.
The plugs of a USB cable were designed in such a way that they cannot
be confused or connected with the poles reversed.
The USB cable contains 4 wires. Two wires transfer the data. The other
two wires supply the connected device with 5 volts. According to the
USB specification devices of up to 500 mA can be supplied via USB.
Devices with power consumption of up to 2.5 W, e.g. simple HUBs and
external mini hard drives can therefore be supplied via the bus.
