Technically Speaking

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.
