usb wiring question: the 5V line
richms:
The shell ground will mate first on the D plug, but unless you can shorten the data pins some how you will never get reliable hotswap. I tried with RJ45 plugs and it was hit and miss, so I tried shielded ones so the shell ground connected first, and it was still unreliable.
Gave up on the idea and just got some chassis mount USB sockets and all was fine after that.
