USB is host-driven (requires a computer)
It was created by a few companies, not a committee like IEEE or ISO. See www.usb.org
USB has two speeds:
Low-Speed: 1.5 Mbs
Full-Speed: 12.0 Mbs
Designed to connect up to 127 devices using hubs (a star topology)
Up to 5 meters between devices (using good cables)
Provides up to 500mA of power per port
It’s designed to complement Firewire
