Product Information

Universal Serial Bus (USB) was developed in the 1990s in an effort to simplify the connections between computers and peripheral devices.

In most cases, these items contain no digital circuitry, and thus are not standard-compliant USB devices.

The USB-IF recognizes this connector on mobile devices such as cell phones, GPS units, and digital cameras. Despite supposedly being universal, there are different variations of USB types and versions; including what connectors and cables each can use. As of 14 June 2007 [update], all new mobile phones applying for a license in China are required to use a USB port as a power port for battery charging.In this guide, we will explore the different types of USB connectors, ports and cables, and answer the most frequently asked questions on how each works. On some devices, the Type-B receptacle has no data connections, being used solely for accepting power from the upstream device. The USB-C plug connects to both hosts and devices, replacing various Type-A and Type-B connectors and cables with a standard meant to be future-proof. USB ports and connectors are often color-coded to distinguish their different functions and USB versions. Upstream USB connectors supply power at a nominal 5 V DC via the V_BUS pin to downstream USB devices.

The USB version relates to the technology that allows the data to be transferred along a cable from one device to another. This range of Micro USB cables support the latest fast charging mobile phones and tablets (24AWG Full copper cables). USB A to Micro B, ideal for connecting and charging devices such as mobile phones and digital cameras with micro usb port, USB type A to USB Micro B.connector is designed for USB SuperSpeed applications; however, it will carry data from slower speed connections, and it is backwards compatible with USB 2. PD-aware devices implement a flexible power management scheme by interfacing with the power source through a bidirectional data channel and requesting a certain level of electrical power, variable up to 5 A and 20 V depending on supported profile. A high-powered device must be configured, after which it may draw up to 5 unit loads (500 mA), or 6 unit loads (900 mA) for SuperSpeed devices, as specified in its configuration because the maximum power may not always be available from the upstream port. Sleep-and-charge USB ports can be used to charge electronic devices even when the computer that hosts the ports is switched off.
