Abstract: A Universal Serial Bus (USB) split cable is disclosed. In one aspect, the USB split cable provides a USB full-featured Type-C host plug for connecting to a USB Type-C receptacle in a USB host. In another aspect, the USB split cable provides a plurality of USB device plugs for connecting to a plurality of device clients, respectively. The plurality of USB device plugs can be configured individually with different data pin combinations to concurrently support different device clients. By providing the USB split cable, it is possible to support point-to-multipoint USB connection via the plurality of USB device plugs without a USB hub, thus improving mobility of the USB host while reducing costs and power consumption associated with the USB hub.
