In the early history of home computers many computers had complicated cable connections. Each cable was not universal and dedicated for a single hardware peripheral. Each cable was unique with pin number for each manufacturer. Yet all things changed in 1996; the Universal Serial Bus, (USB cable) became available to the public. This was the result of a collaboration between the large computer manufacturers to standardize the cable plugs.
Ajay Bhatt is the team leader that developed the first integrated circuits at Intel for the USB cable. This project started in 1994 aimed for use with Windows 95, and later iMac. The legacy-free PCs’ standard started, and underneath the Apple flagship USB took off. At this time the standard was 1.0 and the standard data rates varied from 1.5 to 12.0 Mbit/s. The new acceptance of the USB standard allowed data transfer, data storage devices, hardware connections, and device powering. The USB then had plug modifications at one side from standard, mini, and micro until 2011. These plug modifications were mostly discontinued in 2012. In 2012 the USB 3.0 became established with only 3 distinctive plugs: standard, micro-B, and type-C. The type-C is capable of 20 Gbit/s and can charge devices up to 100 watts.
There is a non-profit organization, USB Implementers Forum. It is dedicated support and further advance Universal Serial Bus. The original creators are the board members to this non-profit. They issue vendor certifications to hardware manufacturers. The hardware can then can carry the certified USB logo.
