USB Cabling
The EtherFast 10/100 USB Network Adapter comes with one USB cable. One
end of the USB cable has a rectangular plug, which is called a Type A con-
nector. The other end of the cable has a square plug, or a Type B connector.
The USB cable’s Type B end connects to the USB device—in this case the
EtherFast 10/100 USB Network Adapter. The Type A end connects to a com-
puter’s USB port.
The picture below shows two USB ports as they might be found on your
computer. Note the two USB icons above the port.
