The function properties of USB connector

Holding power

Unlike other older connectors, the USB is held in place on the peripherals and cables by the clamping force from the socket. There is no thumb rotation, screw or clip to keep it in place.

durability

The USB has an improved design that is more rugged and durable than previous connectors. This is because it is hot-swappable and this property allows the USB connector to be added to a running computer system without significantly interrupting the operation (ie, shutting down or restarting the computer).

Service life

To extend the life of standard USB, designers have modified their designs. Move from the jack, the leaf spring to the plug. A locking device is also added to keep the connector in place. With these improvements, standard USB can now withstand up to 1,500 repetitive insertions and removals. On the other hand, the Mini B connector can last up to 5,000 insertion and removal cycles after further improvements.

Micro connectors have proven to be the most durable. They are designed to withstand up to 10,000 repetitive insertions and removals. To achieve this goal, a flexible contact is mounted on an easily replaceable cable, and on the other hand, the container is a container that houses a more durable rigid contact.

Protection performance

A closer look at the USB connector reveals that the adjacent plastic tongue and another closed metal plate protect the entire connection assembly and provide additional protection for the USB. In addition to this, the USB plug also has a housing that first contacts the socket before it is connected to the host. In order to shield the wires inside the connector, the case is grounded, which also helps to eliminate static electricity.

Length limit

Although USB has these positive features and enhancements, the functionality of this data transfer interface still has limitations. First, the USB cable cannot connect peripherals and computers that are more than 5 meters (or 16 feet 5 inches). USB connectors are limited in length because they are designed to connect devices on a single desktop, not devices or structures between rooms. However, this can be solved by using a self-powered USB hub or an active (repeater) cable. The length of the USB cable can also be extended by using USB over Ethernet or by building a USB bridge.
