Amphenol's USB 3.0 SuperSpeed 5Gbps connectors feature advanced technology over Hi-Speed USB. While remaining compatible with USB 2.0, the USB 3.0 connectors offer additional connectivity bandwidth for more complex and higher power peripherals. These connectors have the same rectangular shape as the USB 2.0 versions and provide for improved product performance in devices such as external hard drives, high resolution webcams, video surveillance, and Blue-Ray drives. By providing more power when demanded and less power when it is not needed, the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed connectors provide better interaction between devices and host computers.
