FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62680-4 has been prepared by technical area 14: Interfaces and
methods of measurement for personal computing equipment, of IEC technical committee 100:
Audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment.
The text of this standard is based on documents prepared by the USB Implementers Forum
(USB-IF). The structure and editorial rules used in this publication reflect the practice of the
organization which submitted it.

voting indicated in the above table.
A list of all the parts in the IEC 62680 series, published under the general title Universal serial
bus interfaces for data and power can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
IMPORTANT – The 'colour inside' logo on the cover page of this publication indicates that it
contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct understanding of its
contents. Users should therefore print this document using a colour printer.

INTRODUCTION
The IEC 62680 series is based on a series of specifications that were originally developed by
the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF). These specifications were submitted to the IEC under
the auspices of a special agreement between the IEC and the USB IF.
The USB Implementers Forum, Inc.(USB-IF) is a non-profit corporation founded by the group
of companies that developed the Universal Serial Bus specification. The USB-IF was formed
to provide a support organization and forum for the advancement and adoption of Universal
Serial Bus technology. The Forum facilitates the development of high-quality compatible USB
peripherals (devices), and promotes the benefits of USB and the quality of products that have
passed compliance testing.
ANY USB SPECIFICATIONS ARE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS IS, "WITH NO WARRANTIES
WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-
INFRINGEMENT, OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE USB
IMPLEMENTERS FORUM AND THE AUTHORS OF ANY USB SPECIFICATIONS DISCLAIM
ALL LIABILITY, INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR INFRINGEMENT OF ANY PROPRIETARY
RIGHTS, RELATING TO USE OR IMPLEMENTATION OR INFORMATION IN THIS
SPECIFICAITON.
THE PROVISION OF ANY USB SPECIFICATIONS TO YOU DOES NOT PROVIDE YOU
WITH ANY LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE, TO ANY
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
Entering into USB Adopters Agreements may, however, allow a signing company to
participate in a reciprocal, royalty-free licensing arrangement for compliant products. For

ENTER INTO ANY USB ADOPTERS AGREEMENTS OR TO PARTICIPATE IN THE USB
IMPLEMENTERS FORUM.”

1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose
This document describes the mechanical, electrical, environmental, design and performance
criteria and voluntary supplier compliance requirements for USB connectors, cable and
fabricated cable assemblies. In addition, this document provides detailed requirements for the
design, approval and implementation of application specific USB connectors and fabricated
cable assemblies.
1.2 Scope
The information provided in this document serves as a guideline for design, development and
voluntary compliance testing of USB connectors and fabricated cables assemblies, as well as
defining mechanical, electrical, environmental and performance characteristics. As such, it
defines how USB connectors, cable and fabricated cables assemblies are to be implemented
and how manufacturers and/or fabricators will interact with the voluntary compliance
requirements.
