Reliable connections for A/V equipment
The USB Type-A connector, commonly referred to as a USB-A connector, is the original and most common type of Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector. It is rectangular with flat edges. It has only one correct orientation, meaning it is not reversible like the newer USB-C. USB-A connectors are commonly found on host devices such as computers, laptops, tablets, game consoles, media players, and power adapters. These are found on peripheral devices that connect to host devices such as keyboards, mice, flash drives, external hard drives, smartphones, printers, and scanners. Common uses include data transfer, charging, and supplying power. USB-A supports numerous USB versions, including USB 1.0, USB 2.0, USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1, USB 3.1 Gen 2, and USB 3.2 Gen 1x2.
USB Type-A connectors epitomize versatility, serving as the standard interface for a myriad of devices across industries. Characterized by their rectangular shape and robust build, USB Type-A ports are ubiquitous in peripherals like keyboards, mice, and printers. Their widespread adoption enables compatibility with legacy systems and modern devices alike, making them indispensable components in professional and consumer electronics.
