Amazon Basics USB Type-C to Micro-B 3.1 Gen2 Cable - 0.9 m - Black

Product Information

Most USB types will be compatible with all generations of USB standard, but newer gen ports will be faster. 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.

Before this, there was a much wider variety of different connectors commonly used for linking PCs and compatible hardware.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. Our USB Type C to Micro B adapter will allow you to use a USB Type Micro B cable on your USB Type C equipment for charging and data transfer.

Even so, a more compact 4-pin model is still used by several manufacturers, and by makers of some leading brand digital cameras. USB Type-C jacks are much smaller than Type-A or Type-B variants, but they can send data far more quickly than older models. Mini USB pinout is something you need to be aware of when plugging into either of these smaller USB ports. USB4 is based on the Thunderbolt 3 protocol and supports tunnelling of DisplayPort and PCI Express, as well as a throughput of 20-40 Gbps.It was announced in 2019 that USB 3 would not remain the latest standard for much longer, as products supporting USB 4 (officially written as USB4) began to launch in mid-2020. 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. Modern USB devices are starting to appear with just one USB C port replacing all others this means you are restricted on what older equipment you can use. Type-A USB plugs are held in the connectors by friction, with flat contacts at the terminals that slide together when a male plug is inserted into a female jack.

Whereas the USB connector pinout on other models will be the same for all connectors of that type, there exists both a 5-pin and a 4-pin version of USB Mini-b sockets. Only the USB Mini-b 5-pin connector is officially recognised by the USB-IF, and unless otherwise specified, all USB Mini-b jacks are assumed to be 5-pin. This makes them ideal for rapid data offloading, as well as for fast charging of high-end modern peripherals via cable. While many older port types are still in widespread use today (especially for legacy hardware), fewer new peripherals are being manufactured that rely on them.You can recognise the 4-pin USB connector quite easily, as it is roughly square, and closely resembles a very small USB Type-B port. 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. The most popular and common USB port type today is probably the USB Type-A, also known as Standard-A. Female USB connectors allow the male part of a USB cable or plug to be inserted into any compatible device.

However, you will still find these small connectors on devices that do not yet come with a Type-C port as standard. This means the receptacle will only accept a connection when the male part is orientated the right way up. This includes keyboards and mice, mobile phones and chargers, memory sticks (flash drives), and other USB accessories. Rectangular, slot-shaped USB type-A connectors are most common and can be found on computers, personal electronics, and peripherals. The difference between male and female connectors - the two connector genders - is that one gets plugged in, while the other gets plugged into.Examples you might be familiar with include multiple versions of serial ports, D-Sub, and parallel ports. Today, you will find USB connections in almost all types of electronics and communications hardware, from laptops and mobile phones to printers, microphones and headphones, and even cars.
