Product Information

There is also the USB Type B Mini, primarily found on digital cameras, USB hubs, and external hard drives, and the USB Type B Micro which is used by modern Android phones. USB Type C DisplayPort --- as the name might suggest --- is specifically designed to transmit video signals between your computer and a display of some kind, like a monitor, TV, or projector. Typically, that requires both a DisplayPort port, and a DisplayPort cable, but USB-C changes that. Some cables have the same connector at both ends and are named accordingly—for example, a USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable. Interested in USB charging for the office? At CMD Ltd, we design and manufacture workstation power modules to help provide easy power access for businesses, including USB Type A ports. An industrial connector is typically one that is designed for extremely hard-wearing use in a more challenging environment. This might include versions designed with:

Compared to Type A, the USB Type B connectors are square with a slight rounding or large square protrusion on the top. op. Certain Type B plugs are not physically compatible. USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 Type B plugs can be used with 3.0 version receptacles; however, USB 3.0 Type B plugs cannot be used with 2.0 or 1.1 Type B receptacles. To reduce confusion, the USB-IF also intends to do away with numbered USB versions in the future, instead encouraging device makers to refer to a port's top speed, as in "USB 20Gbps." We're in favor of that. USB cables can be classified into USB Type A, USB Type B, USB Type C, USB Micro, USB Mini, and Lightning based on their physical design. Furthermore, USB connectors are divided into various versions based on their speeds, like USB 1.0, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, and USB 4.0. As such, you will most find these connectors on external hard drives, where vast amounts of data transfer occur regularly. 6 – Lightning Cable (For Apple Devices) If you’re looking for a high-quality USB-C cable that will give you excellent performance, it’s hard to beat Cable Matters 6-foot USB-C cable. The cable can do it all and do it all well (well, almost) from charging at up to 100 watts, transferring data from your USB 3.1 SSD, or running a monitor. The only area where it doesn’t excel is in Thunderbolt performance, which is limited to 20Gbps. That’s not a ding in our book because that’s the tradeoff of a 6-foot cable. To hit 40Gbps, you’d have to step down to a shorter cable.USB cables come in different shapes and designs. Therefore, based on their physical structure, they are classified as follows: Here’s a table that lists major differences in speeds and performance of some USB versions. Key differences between some USB versions. USB 1.0 USB stands for Universal Serial Bus, a common standard launched in 1996. Before this, there was a much wider variety of different connectors commonly used for linking PCs and compatible hardware. Examples you might be familiar with include multiple versions of serial ports, D-Sub, and parallel ports.

In most modern technology devices, there will be some form of USB connection available to connect equipment. Despite supposedly being universal, there are different variations of USB types and versions; including what connectors and cables each can use. Chris was a PCWorld columnist for two years. He founded PCWorld's "World Beyond Windows" column, which covered the latest developments in open-source operating systems like Linux and Chrome OS. Beyond the column, he wrote about everything from Windows to tech travel tips.He enjoys DIY projects, especially if they involve technology. He regularly repairs and repurposes old computers and hardware for whatever new project is at hand. He has designed crossovers for homemade speakers all the way from the basic design to the PCB.

In a standard USB C cable, there are Type C connectors on both sides, and have been adopted by various smartphone companies. This is primarily due to the fast data transfer rate, as the cable has 24 pins, and is ideal for connecting monitors, charging high-powered devices, and transferring data in a business environment. Mini A/B - a versatile connector that can accept either mini A-type or mini B-type plugs and cables This is the current standard, and it marries power and data delivery with display connectivity. USB-C is what you'll see on most new devices like smartphones, game controllers, earbud cases, microphones, and laptops. Its form factor is small, oblong, and reversible, so it can be plugged in either way (take that, USB-A). The port's 100-watt connection makes it perfectly suited for fast charging and data transfers, even with larger devices. Landing on a single standard to rule them all is an elusive aim in the realm of personal technology. At best, you end up in a format war, and one faction emerges victorious for a few years until an entirely new technology takes it out. VHS ate Betamax, then was ousted by DVD, which faded in the face of Blu-ray, itself now virtually extinct following the rise of online streaming services.

You will likely find USB Mini in portable cameras, game controllers, and some old mobile phones. They typically have 5 pin configurations and are smaller than regular USB types, hence the name ‘mini’. However, they have largely been replaced by the smaller Micro-USB and USB-C connectors. 5 – USB Micro (Micro USB A, Micro USB B, And Micro USB B Superspeed) If both connectors are USB Type-A, it would be a USB Type-A cable (or a USB male-to-male of cable or, simply, a USB cable). 2. AS ONE TYPE TO ANOTHER For every generation prior to USB4, USB Power Delivery is distinct from the USB protocol, but it has a major impact on device charging with the ability to support 20 volts at 5 amps and a maximum output of 100 watts. It also can optimize power management so that the correct wattager is delivered to one or multiple connected devices. USB-C monitors supporting Power Delivery can provide a charge to the laptop via the same cable that is carrying the image. In short, almost every device that includes a PCB (printed circuit board) will likely have at least one type of USB port on it somewhere. PCB USB connectors and related components are cheap to buy, and easy to mount in a variety of ways including panel, surface, through-hole, and cable mount.

USB type A or ‘Standard A’ cables are one of the most common connection cables and the connectors on these cable types are large and rectangular. Their ports can be found on a variety of products, such as computers, power banks and game consoles. USB type A connection cables are male and will connect to a type A port. It is also reversible, i.e., it can be plugged in either way without worrying about which is the right side up.

Not only is USB-C able to supply considerably more power than its predecessors, but it can do so while still transferring data at high speeds over the same cable. Another useful feature with some USB-C devices is bidirectional charging, which allows one device to charge another. An easy example is the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus charging another smartphone. Similar story here on the naming, this was previously known as USB 3.1 and then USB 3.1 Gen 2. As the more consumer-friendly name suggests this protocol doubles the speed from its predecessor with a max of 10Gbps. Again we don’t get quite the same jump on the charging side, but 5 volts at 1.5 amps yields 7.5 watts or about a two-thirds step up. This is where USB-A and USB Micro ports top out.The main difference between versions is the shape, as the rounding has been altered due to the increase of the number of pins; allowing a faster data transfer. USB-B is pretty much only used on large devices, like scanners or printers. Visually, this connector looks almost square. Most of these are USB-B to USB-A cables, though some newer devices have moved on from USB-B to smaller options, like Micro-USB or Mini-USB. Micro-USB This charging station contains 2 5A ports and provides high power for busy office environments. The Harmony device is designed to be on the desk and has multiple charging outlets for both USB Type A and USB Type C devices.
