About this deal

Charging Devices: USB cables are commonly used for charging devices like smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, Bluetooth speakers, and other portable electronics. Most modern technology devices have started including USB Type C outlets, including Apple MacBooks and Chromebooks. The difference between male and female connectors - the two connector genders - is that one gets plugged in, while the other gets plugged into. Although USB Type A is still the most used connector, the USB Type C are becoming increasingly more popular. Type C connectors differ in appearance compared to the previous USB types, as they are asymmetrical and have a small and thin appearance. One major difference is that the USB C is reversible; meaning it does not matter which way the connector is facing. 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.

Find out more about USB compatibility and the differences between USB versions here. What are the different types of USB connectors? Unlike Type-A and Type-B connectors, female USB-C ports can accept a male USB-C plug inserted either way up, as the terminals at both port and plug are completely symmetrical. Type-C USB connectors can be used with adapters that allow the connection of various other USB types, and they are capable of transferring power and data to/from all previous generations of USB devices.

USB Type-B: This connector is mostly used for connecting printers, scanners, and other peripheral devices to computers. It has a square shape with bevelled corners. Data Transfer: USB cables allow you to transfer data between devices, such as transferring files between a computer and a smartphone, syncing data between a digital camera and a computer, or connecting external storage devices like USB flash drives or external hard drives to a computer. Our USB cablesare another handy household essential, letting you link up your PC or laptop with devices such as your camera or scanner for easy data transfer.

Male To Female Usb Leads

Most USB Type B connectors are at one end of a USB Type B to USB Type A cable. You plug the Type-B connector into the printer, scanner or other device and the Type A connector into the standard USB port on your computer. DOES MY LAPTOP HAVE USB TYPE C?

Mini-USB: Mini-USB connectors were popular in the past but are now less common. They come in two forms: Mini-A and Mini-B. These cables were commonly used for connecting digital cameras, older smartphones, and other portable devices. You’ll typically find USB Type B ports on larger devices you connect to your computer, such as printers and scanners. You might also have external storage devices or drives that use them. Available USB 3 connector types include 3.x A-Type, 3.x B-Type, and USB 3.x Micro B. There are no USB 3.0 Mini-b connectors, as the Mini-b standard only supports up to USB gen 2 signals. 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.

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. A Micro USB or Micro-B connector (more properly referred to as a Micro-USB B, per official USB-IF recognition) is a smaller sized version of the USB Mini-b. Both are physically reduced models of Micro USB connector. 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. 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.
