The connectors the USB committee specifies support a number of USB's underlying goals, and reflect lessons learned from the many connectors the computer industry has used. The female connector mounted on the host or device is called the receptacle, and the male connector attached to the cable is called the plug. [30] :2–5 – 2–6 The official USB specification documents also periodically define the term male to represent the plug, and female to represent the receptacle. [85] The legacy USB Type-A plug. This is one of many legacy types of USB connector. Standard USB hub ports can provide from the typical 500mA/2.5W of current, only 100mA from non-hub ports. USB3.0 and USB On-The-Go supply 1.8A/9.0W (for dedicated battery charging, 1.5A/7.5W full bandwidth or 900mA/4.5W high bandwidth), while FireWire can in theory supply up to 60watts of power, although 10 to 20watts is more typical. Computing systems have many accessories and devices that they need to work with for example to transfer data or power. A connector is used to join conductors electrically or mechanically together.

Starting with the USB 3.2 specification, USB-IF introduced a new naming scheme. [37] To help companies with branding of the different operation modes, USB-IF recommended branding the 5, 10, and 20Gbit/s operation modes as SuperSpeed USB 5Gbps, SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps, and SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps, respectively. [38]. DisplayPort cables are pretty simple - there's one type of cable and it support all the current standards but can't cover the same wide spread of capabilities like the HDMI cables. Length wise DisplayPort can have a regular 65-foot cable, for a fiber cable it can be hundreds of feet long. There are four (4) cable standards for HDMI, but they aren't often labelled correctly. Using a cable that isn't up to the job you want it to do, can be problematical. There is no maximum cable length defined for HDMI in its standards but depending on the cable type - they can carry out a wide variety of jobs. For simplicity DisplayPort wins, however for specialized multimedia jobs you'd go with the correct HDMI cable type. Video and Audio Streams

Mini DisplayPort is more prevalent on Apple devices, whilst the mini-HDMI is seen more on Smartphone and Tablet devices.

All in all, be very glad you have at least some indication of what your port is capable of. You do not always have that luxury: Following the overwhelmingly positive response to 180° reversible connectors like USB Type C and Apple's Lightning, USB Type D's novel plus-shaped design can correctly be inserted in 4 different orientations, a mere 90 degrees apart. DisplayPort Alternate Mode 2.0: USB4 (requiring USB-C) requires that hubs support DisplayPort 2.0 over a USB-C Alternate Mode. DisplayPort 2.0 can support 8K resolution at 60Hz with HDR10 color. [120] DisplayPort 2.0 can use up to 80 Gbit/s, which is double the amount available to USB data, because it sends all the data in one direction (to the monitor) and can thus use all eight data wires at once.

What is a computer connector?

Note: DPort is primarily used to connect a video source and a display device. It can also be used to carry audio, USB and other forms of data. This open industry standard was developed by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). High-speed USB2.0 hubs contain devices called transaction translators that convert between high-speed USB2.0 buses and full and low speed buses. There may be one translator per hub or per port.
