`
`Reason for ECN:
`The USB 2.0 specified device-side connector – the B connector – is too large for use with
`a new generation of handheld and mobile devices, e.g., cell phones which would benefit
`from connectivity to the PC. This ECN incorporates a specification of a device-side mini
`connector (hereafter referred to as a mini-B connector). The new connector only applies
`to upstream facing ports, i.e., connectors on devices.
`
`Summary of ECN:
`The bulk of the ECN specifies the mechanical requirements for the mini-B plug,
`receptacle and cable assembly. It also identifies the usage scope of this connector. The
`last part of the ECN describes the minimum test criteria and performance requirements
`for the new connector.
`
`Benefits of ECN:
`The ECN enables standardization of miniature device-side USB connectors and
`consequent economies of scales and lower cost for a new and growing class of devices
`which will benefit from connectivity to the PC. The standardization also allows
`leveraging of the compliance test and certification model which is already in place for
`USB connectors.
`
`Assessment of Impact on Current Specification and Current USB Products:
`The connector specified in the ECN will not have any impact on hardware or software of
`existing USB products. The current USB spec already allows for vendor-specific device
`side connectors – such cable assemblies are called captive assemblies. All that the ECN
`does is to identify one such connector for use in devices which need the smaller size of
`connector. There is a potential for some end-user confusion because of two standard
`cable options; but this can be mitigated by appropriate end-user education.
`
`Structure of ECN:
`The ECN is in the form of a new Chapter 6 with the mini-B connector requirements
`inserted into the appropriate locations. This format enables specification of the new
`connector in context.

`
`Chapter 6
`Mechanical
`
`This chapter provides the mechanical and electrical specifications for the cables, connectors, and cable
`assemblies used to interconnect USB devices. The specification includes the dimensions, materials,
`electrical, and reliability requirements. This chapter documents minimum requirements for the external
`USB interconnect. Substitute material may be used as long as it meets these minimums.
`
`6.1 Architectural Overview
`The USB physical topology consists of connecting the downstream hub port to the upstream port of another
`hub or to a device. The USB can operate at three speeds. High-speed (480 Mb/s) and full-speed (12 Mb/s)
`require the use of a shielded cable with two power conductors and twisted pair signal conductors. Low-
`speed (1.5 Mb/s) recommends, but does not require the use of a cable with twisted pair signal conductors.
`
`The connectors are designed to be hot plugged. The USB Icon on the plugs provides tactile feedback
`making it easy to obtain proper orientation.
`
`6.2 Keyed Connector Protocol
`To minimize end user termination problems, USB uses a “keyed connector” protocol. The physical
`difference in the Series “A” and “B” (or “mini-B”) connectors insures proper end user connectivity. The
`“A” connector is the principle means of connecting USB devices directly to a host or to the downstream
`port of a hub. All USB devices must have the standard Series “A” connector specified in this chapter. The
`“B” (or “mini-B”) “B” connector allows device vendors to provide a standard detachable cable. This
`facilitates end user cable replacement. Figure 6-1Figure 6-1 illustrates the keyed connector protocol.

`
`The following list explains how the plugs and receptacles can be mated:
`• Series “A” receptacle mates with a Series “A” plug. Electrically, Series “A” receptacles function as
`outputs from host systems and/or hubs.
`• Series “A” plug mates with a Series “A” receptacle. The Series “A” plug always is oriented towards
`the host system.
`• Series “B” receptacle mates with a Series “B” plug (male). Electrically, Series “B” receptacles
`function as inputs to hubs or devices.
`• Series “B” plug mates with a Series “B” receptacle. The Series “B” plug is always oriented towards
`the USB hub or device.
`• Series “mini-B” receptacle mates with a Series “mini-B” plug (male). Electrically, Series “mini-B”
`receptacles function as inputs to hubs or devices.
`• Series “mini-B” plug mates with a Series “mini-B” receptacle. The Series “mini-B” plug is always
`oriented towards the USB hub or device.
`
`6.3 Cable
`USB cable consists of four conductors, two power conductors, and two signal conductors.
`
`High-/full-speed cable consists of a signaling twisted pair, VBUS, GND, and an overall shield. High-/full-
`speed cable must be marked to indicate suitability for USB usage (see Section 6.6.2). High-/full-speed
`cable may be used with either low-speed, full-speed, or high-speed devices. When high-/full-speed cable is
`used with low-speed devices, the cable must meet all low-speed requirements.
`
`Low-speed recommends, but does not require the use of a cable with twisted signaling conductors.
`
`6.4 Cable Assembly
`This specification describes three USB cable assemblies: standard detachable cable, high-/full-speed
`captive cable, and low-speed captive cable.
`
`A standard detachable cable is a high-/full-speed cable that is terminated on one end with a Series “A” plug
`and terminated on the opposite end with a series “B” (or “mini-B”) “B” plug. A high-/full-speed captive
`cable is terminated on one end with a Series “A” plug and has a vendor-specific connect means (hardwired
`or custom detachable) on the opposite end for the high-/full-speed peripheral. The low-speed captive cable
`is terminated on one end with a Series “A” plug and has a vendor-specific connect means (hardwired or
`custom detachable) on the opposite end for the low-speed peripheral. Any other cable assemblies are
`prohibited.
`
`The color used for the cable assembly is vendor specific; recommended colors are white, grey, or black.
`
`6.4.1 Standard Detachable Cable Assemblies
`High-speed and full-speed devices can utilize the “B” (or “mini-B”) “B” connector. This allows the device
`to have a standard detachable USB cable. This eliminates the need to build the device with a hardwired
`cable and minimizes end user problems if cable replacement is necessary.
`
`Devices utilizing the “B” (or “mini-B”) “B” connector must be designed to work with worst case
`maximum length detachable cable. Standard detachable cable assemblies may be used only on high-speed
`and full-speed devices. Using a high-/full-speed standard detachable cable on a low-speed device may
`exceed the maximum low-speed cable length.

`
`Standard detachable cable assemblies must meet the following electrical requirements:
`•
`
`The cable must be terminated on one end with an overmolded Series “A” plug and the opposite end is
`terminated with an overmolded Series “B” (or “mini-B”) “B” plug.
`
`•
`•
`
`The cable must be rated for high-speed and full-speed.
`
`The cable impedance must match the impedance of the high-speed and full-speed drivers. The drivers
`are characterized to drive specific cable impedance. Refer to Section 7.1.1 for details.
`
`•
`
`The maximum allowable cable length is determined by signal pair attenuation and propagation delay.
`Refer to Sections 7.1.14 and 7.1.17 for details.
`• Differences in propagation delay between the two signal conductors must be minimized. Refer to
`Section 7.1.3 for details.
`
`•
`
`•
`
`The GND lead provides a common ground reference between the upstream and downstream ports.
`The maximum cable length is limited by the voltage drop across the GND lead. Refer to Section 7.2.2
`for details. The minimum acceptable wire gauge is calculated assuming the attached device is high
`power.
`
`The VBUS lead provides power to the connected device. For standard detachable cables, the VBUS
`requirement is the same as the GND lead.
`
`6.4.2 High-/full-speed Captive Cable Assemblies
`Assemblies are considered captive if they are provided with a vendor-specific connect means (hardwired or
`custom detachable) to the peripheral. High-/full-speed hardwired cable assemblies may be used with either
`high-speed, full-speed, or low-speed devices. When using a high-/full-speed hardwired cable on a low-
`speed device, the cable must meet all low-speed requirements.

`
`Low-speed captive cable assemblies must meet the following electrical requirements:
`•
`
`The cable must be terminated on one end with an overmolded Series “A” plug and the opposite end is
`vendor specific. If the vendor specific interconnect is to be hot plugged, it must meet the same
`performance requirements as the USB “B” connector.
`
`•
`
`Low-speed drivers are characterized for operation over a range of capacitive loads. This value
`includes all sources of capacitance on the D+ and D-lines, not just the cable. Cable selection must
`insure that total load capacitance falls between specified minimum and maximum values. If the
`desired implementation does not meet the minimum requirement, additional capacitance needs to be
`added to the device. Refer to Section 7.1.1.2 for details.
`
`•
`
`The maximum low-speed cable length is determined by the rise and fall times of low-speed signaling.
`This forces low-speed cable to be significantly shorter than high-/full-speed. Refer to Section 7.1.1.2
`for details.
`• Differences in propagation delay between the two signal conductors must be minimized. Refer to
`Section 7.1.3 for details.
`
`•
`
`•
`
`The GND lead provides a common reference between the upstream and downstream ports. The
`maximum cable length is determined by the voltage drop across the GND lead. Refer to Section 7.2.2
`for details. The minimum wire gauge is calculated using the worst case current consumption.
`
`The VBUS lead provides power to the connected device. The minimum wire gauge is vendor specific.
`
`6.4.4 Prohibited Cable Assemblies
`USB is optimized for ease of use. The expectation is that if the device can be plugged in, it will work.
`By specification, the only conditions that prevent a USB device from being successfully utilized are
`lack of power, lack of bandwidth, and excessive topology depth. These conditions are well understood
`by the system software.
`
`Prohibited cable assemblies may work in some situations, but they cannot be guaranteed to work in all
`instances.
`• Extension cable assembly
`A cable assembly that provides a Series “A” plug with a series “A” receptacle or a Series “B” plug
`with a Series “B” receptacle or a Series “mini-B” plug with a Series “mini-B” receptacle. This
`allows multiple cable segments to be connected together, possibly exceeding the maximum
`permissible cable length.
`• Cable assembly that violates USB topology rules
`A cable assembly with both ends terminated in either Series “A” plugs or Series “B” (or “mini-
`B”) “B” receptacles. This allows two downstream ports to be directly connected.
`
`Note: This prohibition does not prevent using a USB device to provide a bridge between two USB
`buses.
`
`•
`
`Standard detachable cables for low-speed devices
`Low-speed devices are prohibited from using standard detachable cables. A standard detachable
`cable assembly must be high-/full-speed. Since a standard detachable cable assembly is high-/full-
`speed rated, using a long high-/full-speed cable exceeds the capacitive load of low-speed.
