I wanted to group in a category as much as possible having in
mind the user shall "grep" by category to find devices.
My goal is a top category with devices that are not nodes and
are used as a way to combine other devices.

The same argument as above. I am looking for top devices and not for
their type

Thanks, it looked like management to me.
Devices in management category shall control other devices.
It looked like a fit for me.

Thanks, I'll move to misc

I didn't want to include the "USB" keyword, because the user will be lost
when filtering by this word. The goal is to help the user to concentrate 
on a specific "category". Maybe USB-Controller ?
