SRP-150 Note: Minimum conductor construction must be stranded tinned copper. ※ To minimize end user termination problems, USB uses a keyed connector protocol. The physical difference in the Series A and B connectors insures proper end user connectivity. The A connector is the principle means of connecting USB devices directly to a host or to the downstream port of a hub.
