What is the maximum data rate for USB? What is the maximum speed for Quatech USB to serial adapters?
A. The maximum data rate for USB 1.1 is 12 Mbps. USB 2.0 devices are capable of speeds up to 480 Mbps. Quatech USB 1.1 compatible serial adapters can reach speeds of 460.8 kbps–more than fast enough for most serial peripherals. Thus, there would be no advantage to implementing USB to serial adapters on the USB 2.0 standard.
