AFAIK, USB <= 3.0 cables with Type A or B connectors are normally passive. With the Type C connector, that changes somewhat: "Full-featured USB Type-C cables are active, electronically marked cables that contain a chip with an ID function based on the configuration data channel and vendor-defined messages (VDMs) from the USB Power Delivery 2.0 specification." <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_Type-C> galen -- Galen Seitz [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
