The USB On-The-Go logo. Non-compliant USB On-The-Go adapter for a defective smartphone or tablet computer. Some products were made with defective ports that do not accept Micro-A plugs. Instead, they were designed to accept Micro-AB plugs, which are similar to Micro-A plugs but have a different shell. This means that Micro-A plugs cannot be ...
This is a principle of backward compatibility. The Standard-A plug is used for connecting to a computer port, at the host side. A USB 3.0 Standard-B receptacle accepts either a USB 3.0 Standard-B plug or a USB 2.0 Standard-B plug. Backward compatibility applies to connecting a USB 2.0 Standard-B plug into a USB 3.0 Standard-B receptacle.
For broader coverage of this topic, see USB. This article provides information about the communications aspects of Universal Serial Bus ( USB ): Signaling, Protocols, Transactions. USB is an industry-standard used to specify cables, connectors, and protocols that are used for communication between electronic devices.
A USB cable, by definition, has a plug on each end—one A (or C) and one B (or C)—and the corresponding receptacle is usually on a computer or electronic device. The mini and micro formats may connect to an AB receptacle, which accepts either an A or a B plug, that plug determining the behavior of the receptacle.
Direct cable connection. Direct Cable Connection ( DCC) is a feature of Microsoft Windows that allows a computer to transfer and share files (or connected printers) with another computer, via a connection using either the serial port, parallel port or the infrared port of each computer. It is well-suited for computers that do not have an ...
Serial port, parallel port, game port, Apple Desktop Bus, PS/2 port, and FireWire (IEEE 1394) Universal Serial Bus ( USB) is an industry standard that allows data exchange and delivery of power between many types of electronics. It specifies its architecture, in particular its physical interface, and communication protocols for data transfer ...
The Amazon rainforest, also called Amazon jungle or Amazonia, is a moist broadleaf tropical rainforest in the Amazon biome that covers most of the Amazon basin of South America. This basin encompasses 7,000,000 km 2 (2,700,000 sq mi), [2] of which 6,000,000 km 2 (2,300,000 sq mi) are covered by the rainforest . [3]
A computer port is a hardware piece on a computer where an electrical connector can be plugged to link the device to external devices, such as another computer, a peripheral device or network equipment. [1] Electronically, the several conductors where the port and cable contacts connect, provide a method to transfer data signals between devices.
