Glossary Entry for: Universal Serial Bus
Universal Serial Bus - A personal computer bus which can support up to 127 peripheral devices, and has a total bandwidth of 1.5 megabytes (12 MegaBits) per second. It uses inexpensive cable, which can be up to 5 meters long. When using more than 2 USB devices it is advisable to use a powered USB Hub. To add more devices than a single hub allows, you can daisy-chain hubs.
