Hi Richard,

the 2006 edition of 55022 defines telecoms ports in section 3.6.   The note to
this section makes it clear that USB ports are not to be considered telecom
ports.   

The above however does assume that the USB port is being used for its normal
role of interconnecting components of an IT system.  I'm sure someone will
come up with a scenario whereby it could be considered to be a telecoms port!

        In EN55022 there is a reference to a Telecommunication port.

         

        Is a USB connection considered a Telecommunication port? 

        The USB has a power and two data lines. Does this make it a 
telecommunication
port?

         

        Thank you for you assistance
