Each USB Cable Is Suited to A different Task
USB-A is commonly used for power outlets and computers. When used for charging, users have to connect the USB-A side with another USB plug or into a computer.
However, it’s important to note that USB-A cables only connect with the port through a one-way approach. One way of telling which is the right way is by checking the USB symbol that’s normally printed on the tops of the cable. Always ensure the USB is properly inserted to avoid damaging the device or the cable itself.
USB-B ports mostly help in connecting external hard drives with PCs and also connecting printers. However, USB-B cables are currently not commonly available like the rest of the USB cable types.
The USB-Mini cable is commonly used for connecting different mobile devices, including cameras and MP3 players. Its small nature makes it perfect for small device connections.
The Micro-USB cable was a common USB cable and can still be found in different older models. This cable can allow data reading without the need for a computer. A good example is that users can connect their flash drives or even memory sticks directly to their mobile devices.
Just like the USB-A cable, micro-USB cables also connect to a port when placed in the right direction. This means users have to be very keen and ensure they match the port’s shape with the Micro-USB cables to avoid any kind of damage.
This is actually the most recent USB cable development. The benefits attached to USB-C lie in the fact that the cable offers speedy data transfers with a higher power flow. This means that phones are able to charge quickly. Also, USB-C cables are reversible, meaning they can be plugged either way.
These cables were designed to offer backward compatibility with the earlier USB cable versions and ports. This type of USB features differently shaped connector pins that help the cables to withstand a more robust application use. Both the USB-3A and B are quite identical to USB-A and B cables. The only difference is the coloring, where they are colored blue inside for better distinctions. The USB-3 micro cable also features extra pins that allow for the transfer of more data.
