While it is advertised for a solution to all cable needs, there is still some creases to iron out because manufacturers can't coalesce around the same standards. But since 2019 it is fast becoming the default for many new devices being released onto market.

USB stands for Universal Serial Bus and is used to connect peripheral devices such as phones, keyboards, cameras, or printers and scanners. The connection serves to transfer power or data between your computer and a second attachment device so that the latter can perform its task. The USB was created to simplify connection by reducing the number of different connection types.

There are many different types of USB connectors out there and it's easy to get confused. To make it simple, let's split them into two categories: generation 1.0-2.0 and generation 3.0-3.1.

Generation 1.0 - 2.0 connection types include:

• USB A
• USB B
• USB Mini-A
• USB Mini-B
• USB Micro-A
• USB Micro-B

Generation 3.0 - 3.1 connection types include:

You can differentiate between 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 USB connectors by looking at the colour of the plastic inside the connection end. They will be either white, black or blue respectively.
