USB 2.0 supports demanding applications, such as
USB.
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) hardware (plug-and-play)
standard makes connecting peripherals to your computer easy.
USB 1.1, introduced in 1995, is the original USB standard.
It has two data rates: 12 Mbps for devices such as disk drives
that need high-speed throughput and 1.5 Mbps for devices such
as joysticks that need much lower bandwidth.
Web publishing, in which multiple high-speed devices run
simultaneously. USB 2.0 also supports Windows XP through
a Windows update.
An even newer USB standard, USB On-The-Go (OTG), is also
in development. USB OTG enables devices other than a PC to act
as a host. It enables portable equipment—such as PDAs, cell
phones, digital cameras, and digital music players—to connect
to each other without the need for a PC host.
In 2002, a newer specification, USB 2.0, or Hi-Speed USB
2.0, gained wide acceptance in the industry. This version is
both forward- and backward-compatible with USB 1.1.
It increases the speed of the peripheral to PC connection
from 12 Mbps to 480 Mbps, or 40 times faster than USB 1.1!
This increase in bandwidth enhances the use of external
peripherals that require high throughput, such as CD/DVD
IC248A
USB 2.0 specifies three types of connectors: the A connect-or,
the B connector, and the Mini B connector. A fourth type of
connector, the Mini A (used for smaller peripherals such as mobile
phones), was developed as part of the USB OTG specification.

of network managers surveyed say that getting the technical support
they need is extremely important when choosing a vendor. But even
though network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their
overall purchase price for a basic service and support contract, the
technical support and service they receive falls far short of their
expectations—and certainly isn’t worth what they paid.
