What is the function of a USB cable
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is the most popular connection used to connect a computer to devices such as digital cameras, printers, scanners, and external hard drives. USB is a cross-platform technology that is supported by most of the major operating systems. On Windows, it can be used with Windows 98 and higher. USB is a hot-swappable technology, meaning that USB devices can be added and removed without having to restart the computer. USB is also “plug and play”. When you connect a USB device to your PC, Windows should detect the device and even install the drivers needed to use it.
There are two versions of USB. The original version of USB, USB 1.0, only supported speeds of up to 11 Mbps and was used mostly to connect keyboards and mice. The latest version of USB, which is known as USB 2.0, supports speeds of up to 480 Mbps. In order to take advantage of the higher speeds of USB 2.0 you will need to have ports installed on your computer that are also USB 2.0. Most computers built in the last three years will include USB 2.0 ports. When buying USB cables make sure they say Certified High Speed USB on the box so that you are getting the fastest cable.
Cable adapters come in various shapes and sizes and their primary job is to offer digital, analog, audio, video, fiber optic and networking adapter so you can stay connected regardless of the devices you are connecting.
