Cable Features

Cable sold by CyberPower Systems covers two main product lines: Universal Cable and Non-Universal Cable. Our cable products provide competitive data transfer rates (as related to Ethernet connectivity), come in a variety of lengths, and are backed by a warranty. Certain families of cable products have common features. For example, our Cat6, Cat5e, and Firewire® cable products feature snagless booted connectors which help prevent them from catching on surfaces. This decreases the likelihood that the connector will break. Many of our USB 2.0 cables are Plug-and-Play ready and will work without requiring technical configuration.

For PCs, Plug and Play is an Intel standard for automatic peripheral configuration.

What Is a Universal Serial Bus (USB)?

A Universal Serial Bus (USB) connects computers and peripherals. The USB replaces the different kinds of serial and parallel port connectors with one standardized plug and port combined. You can use a USB with various devices, including those for digital photography, digital imaging, PC-telephony, video conferencing, and others.

The primary types of USB connectors are USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed), USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed), and USB 1.1.The USB Implementers Forum, Inc. (USB-IF) provides detailed information about USB connectors.

USB 2.0 Cable

USB devices,such as computer peripherals, smartphones, and other electronics, have sockets which connect with the plug of a USB cable. These cables attach a USB device to another device or piece of electronic equipment, providing for data transfer, connectivity, and charging/powering.

The sockets (ports) of a host device are referred to as Type A. The peripheral sockets are of several types: B, Mini-B, and Micro-B. As host devices, computers feature Type a sockets/ports for use with USB devices. The plugs of USB cables have a Type A plug (connector) at one end and one of the Type B plugs (connectors), such a Mini USB or USB plug, at the other end. There are other USB plug configurations, which vary according to the device and cable.
