Mechanical switches were used so that peripheral devices could also be shared.

Computers were connected using a LAN cable. For example, you can send a print job to a Wi-Fi-enabled printer without first connecting the printer to the computer using a cable.īefore the advent of modern networks, communication between different computers and devices was very complicated. The devices can also communicate with each other without having to establish a direct connection to each device. Since the devices are connected to the router as clients, they are part of the network and can use the same resource as the server, namely the Internet. The router itself is connected to a much larger network: the Internet. The various devices in your home are wirelessly connected to the router, which acts as a central node (server) for the household. the Wi-Fi network) in your home is a good example of a small client-server network.

This specification is to establish a new USB connector ecosystem that addresses the evolving needs of platforms and devices while retaining all of the functional benefits of USB that form the basis for this most popular of computing device interconnects. Additionally, as platform usage models have evolved, usability and robustness requirements have advanced and the existing set of USB connectors were not originally designed for some of these newer requirements. Many of these newer platforms and devices are reaching a point where existing USB receptacles and plugs are inhibiting innovation, especially given the relatively large size and internal volume constraints of the Standard-A and Standard-B versions of USB connectors.

With the continued success of the USB interface, there exists a need to adapt USB technology to serve newer computing platforms and devices as they trend toward smaller, thinner and lighter form-factors. USB Type-C ® Cable and Connector Specification
