ABSTRACT:
An enhanced Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface provides for the communication of standard USB signalling and non-standard USB signalling, which may be alternate voltage signals. The chassis within data processing devices operable for receiving such an enhanced USB connector into an enclosed enhanced USB receptacle provide a keying configuration so that the standard USB connector portion is not matable with the non-standard USB portion.
