USB Naming and Packaging Recommendations
The USB-IF would like to emphasize the importance and value of using the Certified USB Logos and clear, consistent messaging on USB product packaging, marketing materials and advertising. Because the USB 2.0 Specification encompasses all USB data transfer speeds, low (1.5Mb/s), full (12Mb/s) and high (480Mb/s), it is important that vendors clearly communicate the type of product on packaging and in marketing and advertising materials. Inconsistent use of terminology in combination with the existing general misconception that USB 2.0 is synonymous with Hi-Speed USB and/or failure to display the Certified USB logo on qualified products creates confusion in the marketplace.
The correct nomenclature for high-speed USB products is "Hi-Speed USB." The correct nomenclature for low or full-speed USB products is simply "USB." This should be taken into consideration for product naming.
