A USB switch allows multiple computers to share USB devices without unplugging them. There are models for two or more computers and up to four devices. A USB hub is used to add more USB ports to a computer, but some devices require a powered hub. A Universal Serial Bus (USB) switch allows two or […]
A wireless USB network adapter connects a computer to a wireless network and comes in various sizes. Smaller ones plug directly into a USB port while larger ones connect via a USB cable. They can include software for protection against malicious attacks and improved network performance. They may also include drivers and additional software for […]
A USB hub allows multiple devices to be connected to a computer through a single USB port. Factors to consider when shopping for a hub include speed, operating system compatibility, number of ports, and price. USB 2.0 and 3.0 offer faster speeds than USB 1.1. It’s important to check compatibility with your computer’s operating system […]
HSDPA USB modems provide fast mobile broadband, faster than 3G but not as fast as 4G. They act as an antenna to pick up signals and process data for computers. They can replace landline broadband but may be expensive with lower download limits. Dedicated devices are preferred for home broadband. An HSDPA USB modem is […]
USB hubs are small units with multiple ports for connecting USB devices. They are useful for laptops and older systems with few native USB ports. Hubs can support up to 127 devices and come in self-powered or AC-powered models. Consumers should ensure the hub meets their needs and supports the appropriate USB generation. Hubs are […]
A USB router shares a broadband internet connection between multiple computers, often used with cable services where the modem lacks an Ethernet connection. It can also be used with mobile broadband devices. If a cable modem only offers a USB connection, a USB router is needed to provide internet access to multiple machines. Some routers […]
A USB network adapter allows for standard or wireless internet connection on a computer, with easy installation. Wireless adapters are useful for older computers without built-in Wi-Fi, while wired adapters are useful in buildings without wireless. Different adapters work with different operating systems and require driver downloads. The adapter must remain connected to maintain a […]
Ethernet over USB refers to the use of Ethernet standard with USB technology. It can describe USB dongles that provide an external Ethernet network port or allow USB cables to act as physical support for small networks based on the Ethernet protocol. The phrase “Ethernet over USB” can refer to several ways that the Ethernet […]
USB is a standard interface for communication between computers and peripherals, implemented by USB chipsets. USB 2.0 increased bandwidth to 480 Mbps. USB chipsets are used in standalone bridge controllers and USB hubs. Peripherals on the slave side of a USB connection also use USB chipsets. The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an interface standard […]
A USB host controller driver connects USB devices to a computer’s operating system, recognizing and installing drivers for each device. It can also merge communication processes for multiple devices and control power and data rates. A USB host controller driver controls how peripheral devices communicate with a computer’s main system. The driver establishes contact between […]
USB is a popular port on computers and devices, but older devices may have non-USB ports like serial ports. A USB adapter can connect devices with different ports, including those for charging and wireless devices. One of the most popular connection ports on today’s computers and peripheral devices is the Universal Serial Bus (USB), and […]
USB is the most common way to connect peripherals to a computer. USB connectors have two types: Type A for the computer and Type B for the device. Other types include Mini-B and Mini-A, which are used for smaller devices. USB ports are found on almost all computing devices and are often in convenient locations. […]
A thumb drive is a portable USB flash memory device for storing and transferring files. It can be used by inserting it into a computer’s USB port and dragging and dropping files. It has benefits such as being solid-state, secure, and having large storage capacity, but also has limitations such as limited program erase cycles […]
A USB host controller allows hardware to communicate with software, handling communication between peripheral devices and the computer system. It maintains connections and enables standard programming languages. Different types of interfaces support various USB ports, and the host controller protocol combines communication processes for efficient data transfer. A single port can connect multiple devices, and […]
A USB oscilloscope is a portable machine that measures electrical signals and creates a graph. It can be powered by a computer’s USB port, making it easier to use in different locations and to transfer data quickly. It comes in a variety of models, making it suitable for different professions. A USB oscilloscope is an […]
Consider computer power, desired features, and compatibility when choosing a USB sound card. Check hardware requirements and look for HD audio and surround sound capabilities. Research options online and in stores. USB sound cards can also be used for basic recording input setups. When choosing a Universal Serial Bus (USB) sound card to play audio […]
USB 2.0 is an external interface used to transfer data between digital devices. It is plug-and-play and backwards compatible with previous versions. USB 2.0 has a maximum cable length of 16 feet and improved transfer speeds compared to USB 1.0. It is used for many devices including memory sticks, cameras, and printers. USB 3.0 was […]
When choosing promotional USB flash drives, consider factors such as storage size and style. Decide if they are suitable for your business and review different vendors for options.
