USB Cable Connection

Today, serial and parallel direct cable connections are considered obsolete ways to
transfer data between computers. A USB direct cable connection, or DCC, is not all that
popular in the enterprise, but this type of USB cable connection is still used by home
users because of its easy setup and fast transfer speed.
USB DCC is about over a decade old, but has it is still not a popular method to transfer
data because of the rapid growth of networks and their significant speeds. In most
cases, users with Gigabit Ethernet ports on their workstations simply require a standard
unshielded twisted pair straight-through cable to begin transferring data at double the
rate of a USB DCC.
USB stands for universal serial bus. Today, it's the standard interface for mobile devices
and all computer peripherals -- such as printers, faxes, CD-ROMs, mice, joysticks and
so on.
The USB gives you a single, standardized, easy-to-use way to connect multiple devices
to a computer. The USB port is also capable of providing power to the connected
devices, but remember that each USB port has a limit of delivering a maximum amount
of power, depending on the USB version.
