Technical Glossary
USB cables have two distinct connectors. The Type A connector is used to connect the cable from a USB device
to the Type A port on a computer or hub. The Type B connector is used to attach the USB cable to a USB device.
When a crossover fiber optic cable is called for, the cable has the transmit signal on one end connected to the
receive signal at the other end.
