The term USB stands for “Universal Serial Bus”. FTDI Cables assemblies are some of the most popular cable types available, used mostly to connect computers to peripheral devices such as cameras, video cameras, printers, scanners, and more. USB device communication is done through pipes. These pipes are a connection pathway from the host controller to an addressable buffer called an endpoint. The USB cable provides four pathways- two power conductors and two twisted signal conductors. The USB device that uses full speed bandwidth devices must have a twisted pair D+ and D- conductors. The data is transferred through the D+ and D- connectors while Vbus and Gnd connectors provide power to the USB device.

What are the Types of USB cables?

Type1

USB-B. This is an older connector that is rarely used today. They are commonly used to connect printers or external hard drives to computers. the USB Type B connector (technically known as a “Standard B” connector) is roughly square in appearance, with a squarish protrusion on top. Type B ports are found on many USB non-host devices, such as audio interfaces, external hard drives, and printers.
USB 3 has connector pins of different shapes, so it can withstand more frequent use. The USB 3 has different shaped connector pins so it can withstand more frequent use. (and the color is usually blue, so you can distinguish them). However, it is important to note that all devices must be compatible with USB 3 to get higher speeds. For example, if you have a USB 3.1 compatible device, you can transfer data at 10 Gbps using these cables. However, if you are using an older device, you will not be able to get the same fast data transfer rate.

What you intend to use the cable for will determine the type, size and length of the cable you buy. If you plan to charge your smartphone or other devices using only cables, you need to make sure you have purchased a fast charging cable.
