U2006

U2006 refers to a designation within the Universal Serial Bus (USB) specification, specifically relating to USB 2.0. This designation typically appears in product documentation or technical specifications and indicates that a device or port supports the USB 2.0 standard. USB 2.0, also known as Hi-Speed USB, was introduced in 2000 and offers significantly faster data transfer rates compared to its predecessor, USB 1.1. Its maximum theoretical data transfer speed is 480 megabits per second (Mbps), which is about 40 times faster than USB 1.1. This increased speed made USB 2.0 suitable for a wider range of peripherals, including external hard drives, digital cameras, and high-resolution webcams. The U2006 designation confirms compatibility with this widely adopted standard, ensuring interoperability between devices. Devices marked with U2006 are backward compatible with USB 1.1 ports, though they will operate at the slower USB 1.1 speeds in such cases. The U2006 designation is a straightforward way to communicate a device's adherence to the USB 2.0 protocol.
