Universal Serial Bus (USB)
Universal Serial Bus (USB), defined by a consortium of industry leaders, permits
connection of multiple low-speed and medium speed computer peripheral devices such
as telephones, modems, printers, keyboards, mice, and scanners; all from a single
personal computer port. The specification, based on open architecture has become a
standard feature in new desktop and notebook computers.
