Abstract
A signal transmission method for a USB interface and an apparatus thereof are provided. The method includes: receiving a first USB signal sent from a sending terminal, processing the first USB signal into a USB-like signal, and transmitting the USB-like signal via a networking cable; receiving the USB-like signal, processing the USB-like signal into a second USB signal, and sending the second USB signal to a receiving terminal. According to the embodiments of the present invention, the first USB signal is processed into a USB-like signal which is similar to the USB signal, the USB-like signal is transmitted via a networking cable, and the USB-like signal is processed into a second USB signal. The transmission process does not require converting the USB signal into a networking-cable signal which is to be transmitted via a networking cable, thereby avoiding conversion between protocols, and simplifying the entire transmission process.
