USB
USB (Universal Serial Bus). A way of connecting several low speed peripherals to a PC (Personal Computer) in a daisy chain. Typical peripherals include keyboards, scanners, mice and digital cameras. It typically runs at 1 MBit/sec, roughly a tenth the speed of an Ethernet LAN (Local Area Network). It is rated to run at 12 MBits/sec and USB-2 in rated to run at 480 MBits/sec. The coming USB 3.0 is ten times faster still with transfers up to 3000 or 4000 MBits/sec. Intel is promoting a competing superfast technology based on optical cables called Light Peak.
