A USB port allows you to plug in a variety devices to a computer. The USB port is one of the most popular options when it comes to connectivity and most computer come with one or more of these ports. USB ports work by sending signals through a USB cable.
There are four conductors in a USB cable. The outer contacts provide power at 5 volts at up to 250mA, quarter of an Amp.
Some add on devices just use the power outlet properties, such as fans, lamps and chargers.
The two inner ones send the serial data, both ways.
The format and syntax of the serial data is a bit too involved for this posting.
They work with any computer that has a USB port, to a USB device.
A USB switch box should work for external USB drives.
yes but usb 2.0 devices dont work on usb 1x
USB power strips work with any USB wall charger so long as the device can charge over USB.
The USB power strips will not work with the AC power adapter without the USB connection.
Well, then it is because your USB is damaged. See, the USB is a standard for computer periferals, so your USB should work in Mexico, Canada, India or China fo that matter.
Not all USB mice will work with an adapter. If it did not originally ship with an adapter, that you lost and are now replacing, then odds are it will not work. A USB hub adding more USB ports may be a better solution.
Yes it should work. Vice versa as well.
If your BlackBerry uses micro usb to charge then it will work.
you plug it into a usb port on a computer and it does its magic.
Yes, but at USB 1.0 speeds
Your external USB 3 HDD may work on your old laptop which only has USB 2. Most of the USB 3 will work on a USB 2 if you have the proper speed cable. It will only operate at the 2.0 speed, however.
