ABSTRACT:
A simplified serial data bus provides interconnection between equipment such as computers, imaging apparatus, and consumer electronic devices. The simplified bus utilizes the cable and connectors of a data bus standard. An apparatus for data communication comprises a connector for receiving a plurality of signal carrying conductors. A control circuit is coupled to the connector for supplying a control signal to one of the plurality of conductors. A detector is coupled to the connector for detecting a voltage source on the one of the plurality of conductors. The control signal is inhibited responsive to detection of the voltage source.
