Universal Serial Bus. Faster than serial, can daisy chain peripheral devices to it. Used to attach all forms of peripherals, from keyboards and mice, to monitors, printers, scanners and digital cameras. Used exclusively by new Macs, and a popular item on newer PCs. Probably the interface choice of the future.
(Universal Serial Bus port) A high-speed device interface to which up to 127 peripheral devices can be daisy-chained to a single USB port. (Contrast with SCSI port.)
USB stands for Universal Serial Bus and is a technology capable of connecting a very large number of external devices on a computer. USB is intended primarily for low bandwidth (slow) components such as mice, keyboards, modems, joysticks, cameras, etc., but not fast devices like hard drives.
Short for Universal Serial Bus, a new external bus standard that supports data transfer rates of 12 Mbps (12 million bits per second). A USB port is a rectangular socket found either on the back or front of your computer. Most computers that you buy today come with one or two USB sockets. A single USB port can be used to connect peripheral devices, such as mice, modems, and keyboards. USB also supports Plug-and-Play installation and hot plugging. Many computers now have USB ports already installed. The following operating systems do not support USB: Windows 95/98a, Windows NT, and Macintosh.

USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a "plug and play" interface between a computer and your iPod (and other devices, including digital cameras, joysticks, keyboards, and printers). The new USB 2.0 standard transmits data at 480 Mbps. That kind of speed makes USB 2.0 suitable for transferring demanding files like full-motion video, etc. Fortunately, all USB 2.0 devices are backwards-compatible with existing USB 1.1 devices.
An interface on the computer that enables you to connect a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device. USB is an external bus standard that enables data transfer rates of 12 Mbps (12 million bits per second). USB ports support a plug that is approximately 7 mm x 1 mm. See also: universal serial bus (USB)
