USB transfer speeds


USB 1.x is an external bus standard that supports data
transfer rates of 12 Mbps and is capable of supporting up to
127 peripheral devices. The picture shows an example of a
USB cable being connected into the USB port.

USB 2.0, also known as hi-speed USB, was developed by


Compaq, Hewlett Packard, Intel, Lucent, Microsoft, NEC, and
Phillips and was introduced in 2001. Hi-speed USB is capable
of supporting a transfer rate of up to 480 megabits per second
(Mbps), or 60 megabytes per second (MBps).

USB 3.0, also known as SuperSpeed USB, was first made


available in November 2009 by Buffalo Technology, but the
first certified devices weren't available until in January 2010.
USB 3.0 improved upon the USB 2.0 technology with speed
and performance increases, improved power management
and increased bandwidth capability. It provides two
unidirectional data paths for receiving and sending data at the
same time. USB 3.0 supports transfer rates up to 5.0 gigabits
per second (Gbps), or 640 megabytes per second (MBps).
Following the release of USB 3.1, it's officially renamed to
"USB 3.1 Gen1" for marketing purposes. The first certified
devices included motherboards from ASUS and Gigabyte
Technology. Dell began including USB 3.0 ports in their
Inspiron and Dell XPS series of computers in April 2011.USB
3.1, also known as SuperSpeed+, was made available as of July
31, 2013, and is the latest version of the USB protocol. USB 3.1
is capable of transfer rates of up to 10 Gbps, putting it in line
with the first generation of Apple's Thunderbolt channel.
Today, many devices use the USB 3.0 and 3.1 revisions for
improved performance and speed.

USB version compatibility


Each version of USB port is backward compatible as well as
forward compatible, meaning that it can support any version
below or above its current number. For example, devices that
are designed with USB 1.1 and 2.0 technology work in a 3.0
port. However, it should be noted that devices with lower
versions run at their native transfer speeds even though USB
3.0 is capable of higher. Similarly, if you connect a USB 3.1
device into a USB 2.0 port, the 3.1 device's max transfer rate is
limited to that of the 2.0 port.

USB cables - length and type


USB cables are available in multiple lengths, from around 3
feet to a little over 16-feet. The maximum length of a USB
cable is 16 feet 5 inches (5 meters) for high-speed devices and
9 feet 10 inches (3 meters) for low-speed devices. These
maximum lengths are due to data transfer timing and the risk
of data loss if using longer cable lengths. However, by using
USB hubs, you can connect two USB cables to effectively
extend the distance between the two devices being
connected.

Subject: USB

There are different types of USB cables as well. As we


mentioned above, there are different transfer speeds (2.0 and
3.0) for USB. Similarly, there are different types of USB cables
to match with those speeds. You can get a USB 2.0 cable for
use with a device using USB 2.0 or a USB 3.0 cable for use with
a device using USB 3.0.

USB extension cables can connect to one end of a USB cable,


extending the length of the connection. However, you should
still avoid extending the cable beyond the maximum USB data
transfer distance of 16 feet 5 inches, unless you're using a USB
hub to boost the signal.
