A P P E N D I X USB 2.0 specification primer Term Definition Downstream The direction of data flow from the host or away from the host. A downstream port is the port on a hub electrically farthest from the host that generates downstream data traffic from the hub.
A P P E N D I X USB 2.0 specification primer USB topology The USB physical network is a tiered star topology. A hub is at the center of each star. Each wire segment is a point-to-point connection between the host and a hub or function, or a hub connected to another hub or function.
A P P E N D I X USB 2.0 specification primer Connecting USB devices USB attachment points are provided by a special class of USB device known as a hub. The additional attachment points provided by a hub are called ports. A host includes an embedded hub called the root hub that can provide one or more attachment points.
A P P E N D I X USB 2.0 specification primer USB connectors and cables USB connectors There are two types of full-size USB connectors: Series-A and Series-B, also known as Type-A and Type-B, respectively. Either connector type can be a receptacle or a plug. Series-A receptacles are used as outputs from host systems and hubs.
A P P E N D I X USB 2.0 specification primer USB cables For full-speed and high-speed connections, USB 2.0 specifications allow two types of cable assemblies: a standard detachable cable that is terminated on one end with a Series-A plug, and terminated on the opposite end with a Series-B plug a captive cable that is terminated on one end with a Series-A plug, and has a vendor-specific connection on the opposite end for the peripheral...
A P P E N D I X USB 2.0 specification primer USB cable length The maximum allowable USB cable length is determined primarily by signal attenuation and propagation delay. A USB cable also carries VBUS and GND wires on each segment to deliver power to bus-powered devices.
