Is there anything you haven't blogged about?
I have about 40 posts in my drafts folder... ;)
The USB3 cable I was using originally (the ~1.5M length one) was about the thickness of a 10A 240V power cable, although that's the outside diameter and I don't want to cut it open to find out the diameter of the wires inside. The one I'm using now is about 20cm long and is much thinner.
Wow, that's really thick. The conductors probably wouldn't be any thinner as there is much less need for insulation on low voltage wires.
I'm more interested in getting readings from the USB controller about the power budget and the draws of the attached devices (even though these are programmed values not actual values) in an easy to read form.
I've seen an Apple PowerBook give some information on that. I'm not sure whether it was rounded to the nearest 500mA or whether it was actually measured. It was at a LUV Beginner SIG meeting, maybe the PowerBook owner in question can comment here. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
