Vivanco 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 newerdevices , 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 H
UBs and
external mini hard drives can therefore be supplied via the bus.
