USB CABLE

USB (Universal Serial Bus) connection is used to


connect numerous peripherals devices to computer.

The male connector on a USB 3.0 cable or flash drive is


called the Plug. The female connector on the computer
port, extension cable, or device is called receptacle.

USB Type-A: These connectors, officially referred to as


USB 3.0 Standard-A, are the simple rectangular type of
USB connectors, like the plug at the end of a flash drive.
USB 3.0 Type-A plugs and receptacles are physically
compatible with those from USB 2.0 and USB 1.1.
USB Type-B: These connectors, officially referred to as
USB 3.0 Standard-B and USB 3.0 Powered-B, are square
with a large notch on top and are usually found on
printers and other large devices. USB 3.0 Type-B plugs
are not compatible with Type-B receptacles from older
USB standards, but plugs from those older standards are
compatible with USB 3.0 Type-B receptacles.

USB Micro-A: USB 3.0 Micro-A connectors are


rectangular, "two-part" plugs and are found on many
smartphones and similar portable devices. USB 3.0
Micro-A plugs are only compatible with USB 3.0 Micro-
AB receptacles, but older USB 2.0 Micro-A plugs will
work in USB 3.0 Micro-AB receptacles.
USB Micro-B: USB 3.0 Micro-B connectors look very
similar to their Micro-A counterparts and are found on
similar devices. USB 3.0 Micro-B plugs are compatible
with USB 3.0 Micro-B receptacles and USB 3.0 Micro-
AB receptacles only. Older USB 2.0 Micro B plugs are
also physically compatible with both USB 3.0 Micro-B
and USB 3.0 Micro-AB receptacles.
