Released in January 1996, USB&nbsp;1.0 specified signaling rates of 1.5&nbsp;Mbit/s (''Low Bandwidth'' or ''Low Speed'') and 12&nbsp;Mbit/s (''Full Speed'').<ref>{{cite tech report | title=Universal Serial Bus Specification | number=v1.0 | year=1996 | section=4.2.1 | page=29 | url=https://fl.hw.cz/docs/usb/usb10doc.pdf | url-status=live | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180130144424/https://fl.hw.cz/docs/usb/usb10doc.pdf | archive-date=30 January 2018}}</ref> It did not allow for extension cables, due to timing and power limitations. Few USB devices made it to the market until USB&nbsp;1.1 was released in August 1998. USB&nbsp;1.1 was the earliest revision that was widely adopted and led to what Microsoft designated the "[[Legacy-free PC]]".<ref name="Macworld iMac">{{cite web |url=http://www.macworld.com/article/135017/2008/08/imacanniversary.html |title=Eight ways the iMac changed computing |work=Macworld |date=15 August 2008 |access-date=5 September 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111222091746/http://www.macworld.com/article/135017/2008/08/imacanniversary.html |archive-date=22 December 2011 }}</ref><ref name="BusinessWeek iMac">{{cite web | work = Business week | year = 1999 | url = http://www.businessweek.com/1999/99_50/c3659057.htm | title = The PC Follows iMac's Lead | url-status=dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150923221417/http://www.businessweek.com/1999/99_50/c3659057.htm | archive-date = 23 September 2015}}</ref><ref name="Popular Mechanics iMac">{{cite journal|title=Popular Mechanics: Making Connections|journal = Popular Mechanics Magazine|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=R9MDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA59|date=February 2001|publisher=Hearst Magazines|page=59|issn=0032-4558|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170215084550/https://books.google.com/books?id=R9MDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA59|archive-date=15 February 2017}}</ref>

Neither USB 1.0 nor 1.1 specified a design for any connector smaller than the standard type A or type B. Though many designs for a miniaturized type B connector appeared on many peripherals, conformity to the USB&nbsp;1.''x'' standard was hampered by treating peripherals that had miniature connectors as though they had a tethered connection (that is: no plug or receptacle at the peripheral end). There was no known miniature type A connector until USB&nbsp;2.0 (revision 1.01) introduced one.
