the two original connector specifications for USB Were A and B
0:05
don't you love it when Engineers name things with both male and female
0:08
connector types for each female a receptacles were intended for host
0:13
devices like computers the ones that control the transfer of data over the
0:16
USB connection while female B receptacles were intended for Upstream
0:21
peripheral devices printer scanners CD burners and the like most cables feature
0:26
a male a connector and a male B connector of some sort because with the
0:30
exception of on thee-o capable devices there's no reason to connect two hosts
0:35
to each other or two peripherals now back to the original standards I don't
0:39
want to hate on them or anything they did Propel the universal serial bus to
0:43
damn near ubiquity in the Computing world but they had some fairly
0:47
significant limitations they were large bulky and fragile rated at a mere 1,500
0:52
insertion Cycles they were only designed to deliver a little bit of power the
0:56
speeds at which they operated quickly became a bottleneck and finally
1:00
particularly irritating on the a connector they only went in one way
1:04
without any clear visual indication of which way was right leading to awesome
1:09
computer nerd jokes like how many tries does it take to get a plug into a USB
1:13
connection four twice to get it wrong once to think you got it wrong and one
1:17
more time to put the damn thing in so that you can hear that ever so
1:22
satisfying now many of these issues have been improved over the years almost
1:26
right away USB 2.0 dramatically improves speeds without requiring ing new
1:30
physical connectors or cables mini and micro versions of the B connector were
1:34
developed to be more durable and more suitable for devices that fit in your
1:38
pocket and more recently the backwards compatible USB 3.0 standard brought
1:43
about new ab and microe connectors that
1:46
add physical pins to dramatically improve speed and power delivery again
1:50
to keep USB competitive with newer standards like EA and Thunderbolt and
1:55
that's where we're at today but can USB be even better Apple sure thought so
1:59
introduced their proprietary lightning connector which is smaller rugged enough
2:04
for me to sleep with my phone under my pillow without worrying about breaking it and reversible but unfortunately
2:10
still limited to USB 2.0 speeds so
2:13
there's still room for improvement and here it is the future is now the USB
2:18
type-c connector has been finalized and if it delivers what it's promising it's
2:23
going to basically kick all those other connectors to the curb with a completely
2:27
redesigned connector designed to deliver up to double the data of USB 3.0 10 GB
2:33
per second up to 100 watts of power so you could conceivably power a monitor or
2:38
charge your laptop off of it really you can't go 4 seconds without reusing a
2:42
joke anyway back on topic it has a slim design with a 10,000 cycle durability
2:48
rating so you can use the same cables across all your different devices and
2:51
not worry about breaking them and
2:54
finally it has a reversible connector so
2:58
you never have to play guess the orientation again speaking of
3:02
