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-B
• USB Micro-A

Generation 3.0 - 3.1 connection types include:
