Newly available from connector and
component manufacturer GTK is a series of
PoweredUSB cable assemblies, designed for
both power and signal applications. One of the limitations of a standard USB
connection is that the amount of +5V
current available to attached peripherals is
limited to around 500mA. By contrast, the
PoweredUSB connection solves supply problems
|
PoweredUSB connection systems provide a
single cable connection that supplies both
the standard USB communication signals,
and two additional wire pairs for extra
power. Accordingly, they simplify computer
system wiring, and reduce system cost since
no separate power brick is required for
power hungry peripherals.
GTK's PoweredUSB cable assemblies are
available in voltage ratings 5, 12 and 24V,
each with a latching mechanism to give a
secure connection in all environments.
Assemblies are produced to suit customers'
requirements in terms of length, termination
on the other end, etc.
Powered USB connection systems enable
hot-plugging which, in combination with
Plug-and-Play operating systems, means
that systems in busy applications can be
easily maintained and supported.
Connectors are also keyed to match the
voltage type, and colour-coded to simplify
voltage identification: +5V (ivory); +12V
(teal); and +24V (red).
