USB Plus Series
The USB Plus Series of products are fully compliant with standard USB ports. The PlusPower ports allow for the
attachment of USB devices that draw more than 500 mA, which is the maximum power provided by standard USB
ports. This additional power enables USB PlusPower peripherals to function properly without requiring their own
individual power supplies. These ports also have a cable locking mechanism to ensure a secure connection to
downstream PlusPower peripherals.
