    A four-port "long cable" "external box" USB hub A four-port "compact design" USB hub: upstream and downstream ports shown. A USB hub is a device that expands a single Universal Serial Bus (USB) port into several so that there are more ports available to connect devices to a host system, similar to a power strip. All devices connected through a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_device

    A USB compound device contains an embedded USB hub and one or more non-removable USB devices. [1] It may or may not have exposed downstream ports. The internal USB hub may be a physical IC that connects to other ICs, or the hub and all functions may be implemented in software on a single IC (though it is more common to integrate them as a composite device in this case).

    Reset USB device to a known initial state. SE0 ≥ 2.5 ms Suspend Power down the device, such that it would only consume 0.5 mA from V BUS. Exits this state only after a resume or reset signal is received. To avoid this state a SOF packet (high speed) or a keep alive (low speed) signal is given. J ≥ 3 ms Resume (host) Host wants to wake ...

    The USB 3.x family has had the same technical notation retroactively added in the USB 3.1 and USB 3.2 specification versions. Though this shows common principles and the same generations refer to the same nominal speeds, "Gen A" does not have the same exact meaning in both USB 3.x and USB4 specifications.
