Although USB and Thunderbolt have adopted the Type-C connection, what they do with it can still get a little confusing.Īt first glance, it's hard to tell the two apart.
So, from Type-A to Type-C, has USB finally achieved a universal connector? Not quite. Thunderbolt (starting with 3): It uses the Type-C connection standard, but it isn't technically USB.It's small, it's reversible, and it's been known to cause its fair share of consumer confusion. Type-C: The newest, oval-shaped USB standard.Mini and Micro USB: Unidirectional and typically used on smaller or mobile devices.Type-B: The mostly square connection often seen on larger peripherals like printers and USB docking stations.Type-A: The thin rectangular connection is famous for two things, being the most widely used USB type and for always being upside down the first time you try to plug it in.Over the past 25 years, USB has come in a handful of connection types: The Universal Serial Bus, or USB, set out to make connecters more, well, universal. They were packed with teeth, and you never had the cable you needed. If you were using computers before USB, you'll remember some pretty big serial connectors.
