In modern society, USB technology is ubiquitous, and people can find it in one or more devices they use every day. However, there are various connection methods for USB cables, most of which are incompatible. This makes replacing USB cables a hassle, especially in the eyes of inexperienced people, where the differences between each cable seem insignificant.

For example, although micro B and mini USB may use synonyms, they cannot simply connect one plug to the port of another plug. What is even more confusing is that the USB technology industry is constantly developing, and even for the same plug type, there may be differences between each USB version, which also affects the performance of the plug.

Let's learn about the subtle differences between different types of USB interfaces.

The USB-A male is also known as the standard USB interface on computers. The USB-A port is designed to provide "downstream" connections for host controllers and hubs, and is rarely implemented as an "upstream" connector on peripheral devices. This is because the USB host will provide 5V DC power on the VBUS pin. Therefore, it is important to remember to ensure that at least one plug is the safest for USB-A when purchasing a USB cable.

USB-A female port, although not very common, some technicians use USB-A female cable to establish a connection between two USB-A female ports. Please note that a typical A-A cable is not used to connect two hosts or computers to a hub.

The main reason for developing USB connectors is to allow for the connection of peripheral devices without the risk of connecting two hosts to each other. The USB B-type connector is still in use today, but it is gradually being phased out in favor of more refined USB connector types.
