Understanding USB Cables

In the world of cable, there are many types. One thing that has penetrated the market, supports USB. USB stands for Universal Serial Bus and provides support for hardware such as keyboards, mice and storage devices. You will find items such as PDAs and mobile phones. It has a maximum length of 5 meters, or about 16.4 meters. However, you can simply more links with the centers. Two common types are 1.1 and 2.0, with 3.0 also is gaining popularity.
1 USB, support for the original design, things slowly at a speed of 1.5 MB per second. USB 2.0 came later, which offers higher speeds up to 40 MB per second. You can access external hard drives, card readers, printers, scanners and more to find. Both types can often mix and match, with everyone on the same computer or hub. Work from 1.1 to 2.0 hub ports, are still slower than 1.1 speed. And vice versa is also true, working with two other devices USB 1.1 hub.
These cables are different types. Type in the majority of devices, such as ports of the computer used. Type B is seen in the centers. Devices connected to the computer via a USB cable AB. 4-pin mini USB for mobile devices, which are frequently used mobile phones or cameras. Mini-USB 5-pin is also used for portable devices. However, what the additional PIN, so it is ideal for mobile phones and cameras and external hard drives, for example, disk drives, hard drives and optical. And finally, there are micro-USB. Micro-USB, as the name suggests, is much smaller than the mini-USB and change over time. Micro-USB can be found on smartphones and PDAs.
USB 3.0 is more than ten years after the original (1996-2007). USB 3.0, also known as SuperSpeed ​​works ten times faster than 2.0. It offers superior performance and better power management, while still fully operational for use in USB 2.0 devices. USB 3.0 is only of type A, B and formed micro-USB.
Thanks to its speed and functionality, USB 3.0 is probably one day replace all USB devices. On that day, but beyond what I thought. Currently, more than 10 million USB 2.0 devices. In addition to its widespread use, USB 2.0 is cheaper and will coexist with USB 3.0 for many years. At that time, the cost difference in close touch for many years, and USB 3.0 is slow, the industry standard high-speed external interfaces, to be.
In general, a household staple with any USB technology that we like. Almost everyone these days has some kind of digital device, be it a computer, camera or mobile phone. In both cases 1.1, 2.0 or 3.0 using now understand a little 'more than what drives and different types of use. And for high-speed peripherals, investment in version 3.0 can now be a good choice.
