USB Ports

Standard USB — The standard USB port is present on most laptops and
desktops. Most USB devices connect to the computer using this port.
Mini-USB — A mini‑USB port is used in small electronic devices such as
cameras, external storage drives, tablets, and so on.
Micro-USB — A micro‑USB port is smaller than mini‑USB port and is used in
phones, tablets, wireless headphones, and other small electronic devices.
Powered USB— A powered USB uses a more complex connector than a
standard USB. It essentially has two connectors in a single cable, one for
standard USB plug and the other for power, thus allowing higher‑power
devices to be connected without the use of an independent power supply.
It is used in retail equipments such as barcode reader and receipt printers.
