USB Type A: Officially called USB Standard-A, these plugs and receptacles are rectangular and are the most commonly seen USB connectors. USB 1.1 Type A, USB 2.0 Type A and USB 3.0 Type A plugs and receptacles are physically compatible. USB 2.0 Micro-A plugs are very small and rectangular, resembling in many ways a shrunken USB Type A plug. USB Micro-A plugs are physically compatible with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 Micro-AB receptacles. An industrial connector is typically one that is designed for extremely hard-wearing use in a more challenging environment. This might include versions designed with: The body responsible for developing, maintaining, and updating the USB standard is called the USB Implementers Forum, or USB-IF. To date, there have been four main generations of USB released: USB 1.x (which had various subcategories), USB 2.0, USB 3.x (again, with subcategories), and USB 4. You will often see these referred to as USB gen 1, USB gen 3, and so on. USB stands for Universal Serial Bus, a common standard launched in 1996. Before this, there was a much wider variety of different connectors commonly used for linking PCs and compatible hardware. Examples you might be familiar with include multiple versions of serial ports, D-Sub, and parallel ports.

User Case: How Do I Copy USB to USB (Bootable)

Chris was a PCWorld columnist for two years. He founded PCWorld's "World Beyond Windows" column, which covered the latest developments in open-source operating systems like Linux and Chrome OS. Beyond the column, he wrote about everything from Windows to tech travel tips. Plug the USB-C end of the adapter into a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) port on your Mac, and then connect your flash drive, camera, or other standard USB devices. You can also connect a Lightning to USB cable to sync and charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. USB 2.0 Micro-B plugs are very small and rectangular, but the two corners on one of the long sides are beveled. USB Micro-B plugs are physically compatible with both USB 2.0 Micro-B and Micro-AB receptacles, as well as USB 3.0 Micro-B and Micro-AB receptacles.

USB Micro-B: USB 3.0 Micro-B plugs look almost identical to USB 3.0 Micro-A plugs in that they appear as two individual, but connected, plugs. USB 3.0 Micro-B plugs are compatible with both USB 3.0 Micro-B receptacles and USB 3.0 Micro-AB receptacles. USB-C to USB Adapter is compatible with the 12-inch MacBook, 13-inch MacBook Pro, 15-inch MacBook Pro 21.5-inch iMac -, 27-inch iMac, and iMac Pro. The right cable has an electronic circuit in the center (you will see the bump) and has male USB connectors at both ends. You can use it to transfer data between two devices.

Chris has personally written over 2,000 articles that have been read more than one billion times---and that's just here at How-To Geek. USB Mini-A: The USB 2.0 Mini-A plug is rectangular, but one side is more rounded. USB Mini-A plugs are only compatible with USB Mini-AB receptacles. There is no USB 3.0 Mini-A connector. After that, restart your computer, press F2 or ESC to enter BIOS screen, select the Boot tab and use “ +” to move the flash drive to the first place, then press F10 to save the changes. Later, it will go to the Windows Setup screen automatically. If not, the drive is not bootable or something goes wrong. Final Words Female USB connectors allow the male part of a USB cable or plug to be inserted into any compatible device. Once coupled in this way, the two devices can share both power and data over their common USB connection.

A USB Powered-B connector is also specified in the USB 3.0 standard. This receptacle is physically compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 Standard-B plugs, and of course, USB 3.0 Standard-B and Powered-B plugs as well. As this user said, simply copyingfiles from a bootable USB drive to another USB will not make it bootable. You need alsothe partition table configuration, the meta data about the organization of drive content, bootloader, etc. Macs cannot technically connect to one another via a USB cable. Running a cable from one computer’s USB port to the other computer’s Ethernet port is the closest you can get to a USB-to-USB connection on a Mac. The only use for a Male-A to Male-A is if you have a device that for some reason has an A instead of a B connector. With the 5-pin mini and micro connectors, pin 4 is used to indicate whether the thing it’s plugged into should behave as a host or device.

Usually, pin 4 is left unconnected and it’s up to the user to select what should happen, assuming one of the equipment has OTG (On-The-Go, both host and device) capability, but you do occasionally come across a cable with pin 4 grounded at one end. The difference between male and female connectors - the two connector genders - is that one gets plugged in, while the other gets plugged into. Generally speaking, the USB data signals are converted to RS232, RS485, RS422, or TTL-level UART serial data, while the older serial RS423 protocol is rarely utilized at present, so USB to RS423 adapters are less common. Final Words USB ports and plugs were developed to simplify the process of connecting multiple different USB devices and peripherals to computers. 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.
