USB stands for Universal Serial Bus and is used to connect peripheral USB 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.

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 gadgets being released onto market.

Micro USB is typically found on devices like android phones and tablets for charging or syncing. These connection types are considerably smaller than other versions of USB which is why they have been widely used up until USB C became more mainstream.
