Universal Serial Bus (USB)
Universal Serial Bus is a royalty-free bus specification
developed by the leading manufacturers in the PC and
telephony industries to support plug-and-play peripheral
connections.
USB offers increased bandwidth and lower costs than
conventional I/O ports.
The USB bus is a daisychain consisting of USB hubs and
peripherals less than 16.4 ft. (5 m) apart. The USB daisychain
can support up to 127 devices. Instead of opening up the
CPU to insert new boards, make all connections outside the
case to the USB ports.
Because USB connections are hot-swappable, you can
attach or remove peripherals without shutting down your
computer.
