  We all have a drawer full of different types of cable, adaptors, and connectors for mobile phones, TV, laptop, and more. One of the most popular cables that everyone has is a USB cable. Almost all chargers and connectors have ports. There are various types of USB cables , USB adapters, and connectors in the market which we do not know. They all have different purposes and this knowledge might come in handy if we know what goes where. Let us understand them in detail so that if some device or our guest needs a specific cable, we can help them out. What is a USB Cable? USB (Universal Serial Bus) was created as a standard cable worldwide to connect computers, mobile phones, and other electronic devices. This made the global market to expand more as it gives users the flexibility to buy electronic products and accessories from anywhere in the world. They are connected with the port on the electronic device. The purpose of using this cord is to either power the device or connect/trans...

  Universal Serial Bus cables (USB Cables) are a boon in the plug-in world. They allow the connection between various electronic devices with the help of only a cable. Thanks to their versatile use cases, their demand is increasing every year. By versatile, I did not mean one USB cable fits all. There are different types of USB cables used for different purposes. For example, type A for one side connection, type B to and to understand each type, we need to know more details about them. Let us get started. But before we dig deep into the types of cables, it is important to understand the following two terms: What is a Port and a Receptor Ports are basically slotting on the motherboard, where a cable of an external device needs to be plugged in. There are two types of ports: male and female. The device controlling the electric link is known as the host, while the other end is called the peripheral/receptor. For example, if you connect a laptop via ports to the smartphone, the laptop ...

  Let’s admit the fact that our laptops never come with enough ports. Especially for Macbook Air users, it becomes compulsory to carry an array of dongles so that it can get easier to plug everything in with USB cables and other products. Enter USB hubs. That makes everything much easier. It not only expands the number of ports, but with USB docks you can set up your perfect dream workstation with a single plug! Today, we will talk about some of the best USB hubs that can be of the best use for you. However, you must be wondering if there is any difference between USB hubs and docks? Well yes! There is a thin line since they technically do the same thing. However, there are some differences that you need to consider before buying them. Basically, USB hubs are smaller, and cheaper dongles that add extra USB ports, SD card readers, display outputs, or a headphone jack. These don’t supply extra power which means you will not be able to change gadgets plugged into them. These are also ...

CES was just last month and it gave us yet more incremental updates. As is too often the case with laptops. Over the last few years, one of the incremental updates that have been a trend is decremental in nature. I am talking about the lessening of ports and bezels around the screen. While I like thin bezels because that means I can have a larger screen in a smaller form factor, I am not a fan of the disappearing ports. We are not wireless yet and the inconvenience is greater than the promise of the future. We carry heavy computing power in smaller bags, and interaction with these computers is no longer limited to a mouse and keyboard. There is touch interaction as well as gesture interaction on top of traditional methods. However, decreasing ports create limitations when it comes to plugging things into a laptop. Things that we need every day like an external hard drive, or perhaps an Ethernet cable, all need a port. The ease of ports is what made these devices possible, and n...

The technology evolution is a dynamic process. It evolves day by day with new twists and turns. For instance, ever since we had USB cables and ports, they made our life easier with steady growth throughout the years. Back in the days, when USB ports didn’t exist, Pentium or Pentium II ports saved us. You will likely remember having multiple colored ports to deal with! And how can we not remember PS/2 connector or serial port to connect a mouse and keyboard? I am sure you must have remembered about having to hook up those bulk printers and scanners with parallel ports and metal clamps. Here we can clearly say that without the revolution of USB ports, we’d still be dealing with those serial connectors in the same old fashion.  USB cables  and ports achieved a great transformation for the past two decades. But do you ever wonder from where it all began? Today, let’s roll back to 1990s when the USB was invented first… USB 1.1 -The Beginning The first ever USB version U...

The world of USBs. Inevitably and essentially important to venture into if you want to use them. Sometimes, even though we use them, we do not have much knowledge about the type we should use and why. Whenever we go for buying USB Adapters and cables, all we check is the purpose it needs to solve. This is when some detailed insights into USB might come of help. Today, we shall talk about USB C cables. These days, it is quite common to find them everywhere right from charging cables to external hard drives. Although all USB C look the same, all of them offer different functionalities and capabilities. Let’s get to know few things about them we were previously unaware of. Introduction To USB C When it comes to transmitting data and power, USB C is the industry standard connector. The USB Implementers Forum – the body that develops and certifies USB standards developed the USB C connector. Above 700 companies are a member of this forum including companies like HP, Apple, M...

"Hey buddy! Guess what? I got this charger at a dollar's price." You might have been a part of a moment like this one directly or indirectly. But no matter how much you may have flaunted a cheap charger deal or might have gleaned at the cheap price, you should know that you are in for an unpleasant surprise later. And, it can be any scenario. A journey that comes to halt as your smartphone is losing the charge or it is charging extremely slow and you don't know what to do. If you want to keep the above scenarios at bay, you must know how to find the right  USB chargers . Only then, you would be able to keep away from cheap USB chargers. But before we find out how, let us get an understanding of what Amp and its abbreviation signifies. Amp defines the amount of electrical charge that passes through one point at a particular point. And the number of amps that a device supports is known as Amperage. The higher the number of Amp is, the faster is your charging. ...

“Listen baby, I'm sorry, just want to tell you don't worry, I will be late, don’t stay up and wait for me, I said again, you’re dropping out, my battery is low, Just so you know, we're going to a place nearby Gotta go!” Whenever I used to hear lyrics of the song “The Call” from the Backstreet boys, I used to chuckle over the agonies that the absence of USB cables and chargers could bring for couples that want to keep connected 24/7 (Or not? 😉 😉). Forget the charger and their world of relationship comes tumbling down! These struggles didn’t last long though. The market witnessed the advent of wireless data charging and transfer equipment. Many have started embracing these wireless inventions but they are still skeptical as to whether or not they will replace USBs in the future. Well, just so that you know, the USB Adapters and cables are here to stay. And no, they do not seem to be getting extinct in the near future. Although some wireless chargers hav...

USB, an industry standard, serves the same purpose for devices as the language for humans! Yes. It enables devices to communicate with each other through a port and a connector. After releasing its first revision as USB 1.1 in 1998, USB is now available in Type-C. USB Type-C connector has gained traction in the realm of USB adapters with its slim profile and powerful functionality. What Makes USB Type-C Adapters Better Than Other USB Types? USB Type-C is not an average adapter. It has a high bandwidth and power delivery. It can transfer 4K content along with other large files and can power even most 15-inch notebooks. Higher data transfer, charging and video output capacity make USB Type-C a choice of Chromebooks and Apple MacBook Pro line. Also, smartphones using the Type-C adapter are on the rise. Being the providers of different types of adapters, SF Cable is here to acquaint you with five useful  Type C USB adapters  that can ensure a seamless connectivity between ...
