Short for Universal Serial Bus, the USB made its debut in the 1990s when a collective of engineers collaborated to create a connector that would be compatible with various devices, capable of supplying both power and rapid data transfer. This adaptability and user-friendliness swiftly persuaded numerous companies to adopt the USB, leading it to become a universally recognized industry connection.
Due to this widespread acceptance, USB development persists to this day. In fact, it has progressed significantly from the original USB-A connector and the USB 1.0 standard that were initially released. You will now encounter a variety of USB types, each with distinct shapes and standards. So, how can you differentiate between them? If you wish to identify the specific USB ports and connectors on your devices, you simply need to observe their shape and color or examine their symbols and markings.
