Hello Pat - Am I right in assuming that this USB drive is a dongle? If so then I'd say that it is extremely likely that a consumer would add a cable for convenience's sake. I'd test it with a representative cable and then you're covered. Best Regards Charles Grasso Compliance Engineer Echostar

Charles, Our USB drives attach to the computer similar to a dongle device in form only. They do not function as a dongle. They do not offer any form of secure software. Pat Jensen Lexar Media, Inc. (510) 580-3670 From: Grasso, Charles [mailto:charles.gra...@echostar.com] Sent: Monday, January

[PSES] power plugs

Want to reduce number of plug types on pwr cords. Where I need ground pin, was thinking of reducing types to CEI23-16, SEV1011, and BS1363A. Is this a stupid idea? Am I missing a major European plug type? thanks, Brian - This

I suppose if a manufacturer sells a USB device without a cable, either the device doesn't need one or they're being cheap.. USB devices like webcams and external drives need a cable, and in the case of an external HDD the cable needs to be short for the device to work at all.

Hi Brian, You will want the CEE 7/7 for most of Europe. It works in almost any European outlet that doesn't accept one of the three that you mentioned. The BS 1363 covers the UK, Ireland and Malta. The SEV 1011 only covers Switzerland. Make sure your supplier conforms to the new SEV 1011:2009

Hi Brian: You can get country/plug data from a number of sources. Then, you can determine the minimum number of plugs to cover the most number of countries. Do a spreadsheet and a histogram. Then, you need a third dimension, the number of potential customers for each plug. I suppose you
