Definitions
USB Host = The computer, only one host per USB system.
USB Device = A hub or a Function.
Power usage:
Bus-powered hubs: Draw Max 100 mA at power up and 500 mA normally.
Self-powered hubs: Draw Max 100 mA, must supply 500 mA to each port.
Low power, bus-powered functions: Draw Max 100 mA.
High power, bus-powered functions: Self-powered hubs: Draw Max 100 mA, must supply 500 mA to each port.
Self-powered functions: Draw Max 100 mA.
Suspended device: Max 0.5 mA
Voltage
- Supplied voltage by a host or a powered hub ports is between 4.75 V and 5.25 V.
- Maximum voltage drop for bus-powered hubs is 0.35 V from it's host or hub to the hubs output port.
- All hubs and functions must be able to send configuration data at 4.4 V, but only low-power functions need to be working at this voltage.
- Normal operational voltage for functions is minimum 4.75 V.
Shielding
Shield should only be connected to Ground at the host. No device should connect Shield to Ground.
Cable
Shielded
- Data: 28 AWG twisted
- Power: 28 AWG - 20 AWG non-twisted
Non-shielded
- Data: 28 AWG non-twisted
- Power: 28 AWG - 20 AWG non-twisted
Power Gauge | Max length |
---|---|
28 | 0.81 m |
26 | 1.31 m |
24 | 2.08 m |
22 | 3.33 m |
20 | 5.00 m |
