Abstract

A USB module includes a first USB port configured to connect a first USB-compatible device with a first USB cable and a USB plug, and a second port configured to connect a second USB-compatible device with a second USB cable. The USB cables are multi-core and respectively comprise first and second configuration lines. An interface is arranged between the first USB port and the second port in a housing interior of a housing of the USB module. The interface makes at least the first configuration line connectable to the second configuration line. The interface comprises a semiconductor module configured to reference to a ground potential of the USB module at least one output signal at the USB module on a configuration connection between the first and second configuration lines.
