      Author: JackieQueensland

      USB Type-A and USB Type-C are wired interfaces. We understand how they differ from each other and what does USB 3.1 have to do with them.

      There are many types of wired connection. These include VGA, COM, HDMI, USB and many more. USB Type-A and USB Type-C are just the tip of the iceberg, but we will only talk about them today. These two types of ports are very common, they are found in personal computers and in numerous peripherals. When buying any device, it is useful to find out what type of connection it supports, as this information will help you understand what the equipment can do and how to get the most out of it.

      What is USB-A?

      To begin with, a USB connection involves a host port, a connection cable, and a receiver port. Ports have different functions and differ externally.

      Type A USB connection is often referred to as full size USB. This type is widespread and easily recognizable.

      USB Type-A is a large, horizontal, rectangular connector with sharp corners. Inside it is a plastic panel in black, white or blue with a set of contacts. This is the same connector that, as they say, must be “observed” before use: the plug enters the socket in only one position.

      USB-A appeared in the mid-nineties. In the noughties, he began to meet everywhere. They are equipped with keyboards, mice, webcams, power banks, cameras and connecting cables. The popularity of USB Type-A is due to the fact that this interface is reliable, versatile and provides high data transfer rates (480 Mbps). At the same time, it supports not only the connection of peripheral devices, but also their recharging.

      The USB Type-A cable may have a USB Type-B connector on the other end. USB-B is a port on a receiving device (such as a printer) that connects to a host (computer). It is also easy to recognize: the type B connection is square.

      There are many subtypes of USB-A and USB-B: USB Mini A, USB Micro A, Mini B, Micro AB, etc. Their design features deserve a separate material, while we will not touch them.

      What is USB-C?

      Over time, the capabilities of USB Type-A no longer met the needs of users, and there was a need for a faster and more compact connection. USB-C is a relatively new interface, it appeared in 2014. It differs in shape from USB-A: it is also a rectangle, but much smaller and with very rounded corners. Type-C is one of the most widely used connection types in consumer devices today.

      Its key features are:

      • Compact and convenient (USB-C plug can be inserted either way).
      • Power transmission up to 100 W (in some cases up to 130 W).
      • Capable of supplying power to energy intensive devices such as laptops.
      • Higher data rate (up to 10 Gbps).
      • Ability to transmit video in 4K.
      • Versatile – can replace many specific connectors, including HDMI and VGA.
      • Potential Thunderbolt 3 compatible (USB-C port can be used as Thunderbolt 3 with optional hardware).

      Is USB-C better than USB-A and all that?

      As mentioned above, USB Type-C is faster and more versatile than USB-A. Over time, it will replace the old interfaces, but this will not happen soon.

      Computers and laptops are now equipped with both types of connectors. This is necessary to avoid problems with connecting old technology: there are plenty of phones, gamepads, keyboards, printers and other peripherals in use that require a USB-A / A or USB-A / B connection.

      In addition, not all users are ready to purchase USB-C adapters in order to use old technology through a new connection standard. But as older devices fall into disuse, USB-C is becoming more widespread.

      What is USB 3.1?

      USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 – data transfer protocols when connected via USB. These terms do not refer to the physical description of connectors. They indicate at what speed the device is capable of exchanging data.

      The USB 3.0 standard marked the beginning of a chain of important changes. First of all, he demanded that the Type-A design be modified to expand connectivity (this is how the USB-C standard began to be developed). Subsequent changes affected by and large only the data transfer rate.

      The USB 3.1 protocol and the USB-C port were developed in parallel, which is why USB-C always works over USB 3.1 (although USB 2.0 can technically be implemented in it). There are currently two generations of USB 3.1: USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.1 Gen 2. The second extends the original capabilities of USB-C, for example, allows you to transfer data at speeds up to 10 Gb / s.

      USB-A and USB-C ports can support various protocols, from USB 2.0 to USB 3.1 Gen 2. This information is usually found in the technical specifications of the device. However, the situation is complicated by the fact that manufacturers use different protocol names, and sometimes confusion arises: USB 3.1 Gen 1 is mistakenly called USB 3.0.

      USB 3.1 is compatible with other USB connections: if your notebook port supports USB 3. 1 protocol, you can connect an old USB 2.0 flash drive to it. But there are a couple of caveats: an adapter may be required to use the Type-C connector, and the maximum data transfer rate is only possible if the USB cable and the connected device support it.

      Instead of a conclusion

      Too complicated? Then remember the basics.

      • USB-A and USB-C are sockets and plugs with different shapes. USB-A is large rectangular, USB-C is small and looks more like an elongated oval than a rectangle.
      • USB 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1 – data transfer standards.
      • USB-A and USB-C may have different standards, the connection speed depends on this.
      • USB 3.1 is compatible with other standards, but only USB-C can harness the potential of USB 3.1 Gen 2.
      • The cable and connected devices must also support 3.1 technology for full operation.
      • USB 3.2 is coming soon. It will provide new benefits in terms of speed, but will add even more confusion to the understanding of USB standards.

      USB Type A connector, everything you need to know

      What USB Type A connectors are for

      USB Type-A female port.

      USB Type-A connectors are the most common type of USB connection you will find. You’ll find USB Type-A ports in most modern computers, laptops, game consoles (such as PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch), smart TVs, streaming media players, and other devices. These USB Type-A ports are also called sockets. Devices such as USB flash drives, mice, keyboards, external hard drives, webcams, digital cameras, game controllers, mobile devices, and a host of other peripherals and accessories often have USB Type-A connectors (often referred to as plugs) that can be connected to type A ports.

      USB Type-A ports work with all versions of USB, from USB 1.1 and USB 1.0 to USB 3.0, USB 3.1 and USB 3.2.

      USB Type-A and backwards compatibility

      When it comes to the Universal Serial Bus (USB) standard, there are two things to consider: the shape of the physical connector and the underlying protocol (speed). USB Type-A connectors date back to the original release of USB 1.0 in 1996, although USB only became mainstream with USB 1.1 in 1998. modern versions of USB. This long-standing standard physical connection helps USB backwards compatibility. If you have a modern USB 3 capable computer and a modern USB 3 enabled USB device, you can connect them with a USB cable that supports USB 3 speeds and get all the speed benefits. However, if you have a USB 3 device, you can still use the same USB cable to connect it to an old computer that only supports USB 2.0 or USB 1.1. It will run at slower speeds, but the same USB Type-A connector allows you to connect the device to just about anything. In other words, you can plug any USB Type-A plug into any USB Type-A port and it “just works”. If the devices are of different generations—for example, if you plug a 20-year-old USB drive into a modern PC—they may be slower, but they will work.

      Blue USB connectors are often faster

      The blue color inside this USB Type-A connector indicates that it supports USB 3. 0 speeds (probably).

      SB Type-A connectors and ports that support higher USB 3.0 speeds often (but not always) have a blue interior. Type A connectors, which only support slower USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 speeds, often (but not always) have a black interior. The same goes for ports: USB 3.0 ports often have a blue interior, while USB 2.0 ports often have a black interior. However, this is not guaranteed. Type A connectors that support USB 3.0 speeds – the ones that often have a blue interior – have nine pins, compared to four pins in older USB connectors. However, they are still backward compatible and these higher speeds will only work when two USB 3.0 devices are connected to each other. Otherwise, they will use lower speeds.

      USB Type-C is the future

      USB Type-C connector and port.

      Although USB Type-A is still the most widely used connector, it is the future. The future is USB Type-C, which is already common on new devices. Some modern devices even have USB Type-A and USB Type-C ports so they are compatible with everything. Some even ditch USB Type-A and use only USB Type-C ports. You can always use a “key” that works like an adapter. For example, a USB-A device can be plugged into a Type-A to Type-C adapter, allowing you to connect it to a USB-C port. This works because despite the difference in physical connection, USB is still compatible. USB-C cables are smaller and eliminate the need for mini USB ports and Micro-B connectors. These are other smaller USB connectors that were used to connect USB Type-A devices (such as laptops and chargers) to smaller devices (such as smartphones) that did not have room for a full USB Type-A receptacle. With USB-C, there will be only one standard USB Type-C port for all devices. Once this becomes widespread, you won’t need different types of USB cables for different devices.

      USB Type-A will be replaced by USB4

      This adapter allows you to connect a USB Type-A connector to a USB Type-C connector.

      The smaller USB Type-C connector will actually be required for the next USB standard, USB4.
