Miniature enclosures optimised for USB
When USB3.0 was introduced, offering theoretical data signalling rates of 5Gbits/s compared with the 480Mbits/s available from USB2.0, the protocol became significantly more useful across a variety of applications. The latest standard to be published, USB3.1, further increases performance to 10Gbits/s and reduces line encoding overhead. All flavours use a Type A standard plug as the interface to the host machine.
