  1. USB-A vs USB-C: What's the Difference?

    USB-A vs USB-C: What's the Difference?

    USB-A, the traditional rectangular connector, is commonly used for older devices, while USB-C offers faster data transfer speeds, reversible plug orientation, and compatibility with newer devices. Other advantages of USB-C include convenience and enhanced transfer speeds.

    Consider how much USB ports and connectors enable us to do—it's truly fascinating. First, we can store the contents of thousands of books on a USB flash drive and access them at any time. (Cool, right?) But we also use USB ports to connect a variety of devices, from mobile devices to TVs to computers, making USB one of our most important connectivity standards.

    However, USB connectors did not experience a true next-generation evolution for many years, until recently. Now, USB-C has emerged as the successor to the original USB-A connector technology and is set to change everything. What is the story between USB-A and USB-C? Which type of USB hardware is more suitable for your application? Let's start

  2. How Long Can a USB Cable Be?

    How Long Can a USB Cable Be?

    In today's world, USB has become a widely chosen communication protocol for data transfer between computers and their peripheral devices. Initially, USB was primarily used to connect devices over short distances; however, over time, the use of USB has expanded to encompass long distance applications such as medical imaging, security cameras, and machine vision. For example, when setting up multiple USB security cameras around the house and monitoring them with a single PC, the need for longer USB transmission distances is often beyond the scope of the USB-IF standard.

    According to the USB-IF, each USB standard has a clearly defined maximum length, as the signal power decreases as the length of the USB cable increases. Therefore, shorter USB connections are usually more recommended.

    USB: A Journey of Evolution and Versatility

    USB is a serial bus standard for connecting computers and devices, and has been widely used in products such as personal computers and mobile devices, and it has become a fairly common communication standard.

    USB Has Become a Major Signaling Technology Today

    USB stands for Universal Serial Bus, and a so-called "bus" is a circuit arrangement or communication system for transferring data between components in a system. In this case, a "serial" bus transfers data one bit at a time over a single wire. However, the USB connector can transfer more than just data between components; it can also be used to transfer power and can accommodate many different hardware devices, from printers and keyboards to cell phones and flash drives.
