Product Information

Female USB connectors allow the male part of a USB cable or plug to be inserted into any compatible device. Once coupled in this way, the two devices can share both power and data over their common USB connection. Plug the USB-C end of the adapter into a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) port on your Mac, and then connect your flash drive, camera, or other standard USB devices. You can also connect a Lightning to USB cable to sync and charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. The right cable has an electronic circuit in the center (you will see the bump) and has male USB connectors at both ends. You can use it to transfer data between two devices.

USB Type A Male to Type A Male USB Micro-A: USB 3.0 Micro-A plugs look like two different rectangular plugs fused together, one slightly longer than the other. USB 3.0 Micro-A plugs are only compatible with USB 3.0 Micro-AB receptacles. In advanced editions, you can also use Edit Partitions feature to make full the disk capacity after cloning.

Mini A/B - a versatile connector that can accept either mini A-type or mini B-type plugs and cables Usually, pin 4 is left unconnected and it’s up to the user to select what should happen, assuming one of the equipment has OTG (On-The-Go, both host and device) capability, but you do occasionally come across a cable with pin 4 grounded at one end. Starting in 2015, Chris attended the Computer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas for five years running. At CES 2018, he broke the news about Kodak's "KashMiner" Bitcoin mining scheme with a viral tweet. A wave of negative publicity ensued, with coverage on BuzzFeed News, CNBC, the BBC, and TechCrunch. The company's project was later reportedly shut down by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. USB Mini-A: The USB 2.0 Mini-A plug is rectangular, but one side is more rounded. USB Mini-A plugs are only compatible with USB Mini-AB receptacles. There is no USB 3.0 Mini-A connector.USB 2.0 Micro-B plugs are very small and rectangular, but the two corners on one of the long sides are beveled. USB Micro-B plugs are physically compatible with both USB 2.0 Micro-B and Micro-AB receptacles, as well as USB 3.0 Micro-B and Micro-AB receptacles. A USB Powered-B connector is also specified in the USB 3.0 standard. This receptacle is physically compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 Standard-B plugs, and of course, USB 3.0 Standard-B and Powered-B plugs as well. In short, almost every device that includes a PCB (printed circuit board) will likely have at least one type of USB port on it somewhere. PCB USB connectors and related components are cheap to buy, and easy to mount in a variety of ways including panel, surface, through-hole, and cable mount. In addition to his extensive writing experience, Chris has been interviewed as a technology expert on TV news and radio shows. He gave advice on dark web scans on Miami's NBC 6, discussed Windows XP's demise on WGN-TV's Midday News in Chicago, and shared his CES experiences on WJR-AM's Guy Gordon Show in Detroit.

The male connector on the cable or flash drive is typically called the plug. The female connector on the device, computer, or extension cable is typically called the receptacle. If I copy a bootable USB drive to another USB, will it create a duplicate bootable drive? Is it not even possible to copy/paste data on a bootable drive to another USB? Any kindly advice will be appreciated, thanks. USB Micro-B: USB 3.0 Micro-B plugs look almost identical to USB 3.0 Micro-A plugs in that they appear as two individual, but connected, plugs. USB 3.0 Micro-B plugs are compatible with both USB 3.0 Micro-B receptacles and USB 3.0 Micro-AB receptacles. This end should be marked because it causes OTG equipment to change to host mode. Device-only equipment like a printer should ignore pin 4. USB-C to USB Adapter After that, restart your computer, press F2 or ESC to enter BIOS screen, select the Boot tab and use “ +” to move the flash drive to the first place, then press F10 to save the changes. Later, it will go to the Windows Setup screen automatically. If not, the drive is not bootable or something goes wrong. Final WordsAn USB drive is small and light in capacity with lower power consumption and no fragile moving parts. Itcan be carried everywhere, and used on a variety of devices, including thin laptops without optical drives.

The most popular and common USB port type today is probably the USB Type-A, also known as Standard-A. USB A connections will be very familiar to most PC or laptop users as a rectangular slot of about 14mm wide by 6mm high. As this user said, simply copyingfiles from a bootable USB drive to another USB will not make it bootable. You need alsothe partition table configuration, the meta data about the organization of drive content, bootloader, etc. USB stands for Universal Serial Bus, a common standard launched in 1996. Before this, there was a much wider variety of different connectors commonly used for linking PCs and compatible hardware. Examples you might be familiar with include multiple versions of serial ports, D-Sub, and parallel ports. The body responsible for developing, maintaining, and updating the USB standard is called the USB Implementers Forum, or USB-IF. To date, there have been four main generations of USB released: USB 1.x (which had various subcategories), USB 2.0, USB 3.x (again, with subcategories), and USB 4. You will often see these referred to as USB gen 1, USB gen 3, and so on.
