About this deal

If the cable has a Type-A connector at one end (as in the above image), that will usually be the first type. The second will be the shape of connector that will plug into your device. If you are interested in USB chargers for your office but are unsure of your choices, read our guide on how to choose a USB charger here. What are the different types of USB ports? You'll also want to pay attention to what each cable is made of. Some offer poor designs that can lead to accelerated aging or fraying over time, while others can withstand harsh weather conditions for years on end.

Although there are 2.0 and 3.0 USB Type A connectors, all Type A plugs from any USB version will fit into the receptacle. However, there are certain differences between the 2.0 and 3.0 versions; for example, USB 3.0 has an additional nine pins to enable a faster data transfer rate. Ethernet cables come in many different varieties, all with different specs and designs suited for different use cases. Some are better for having around your home, some better for outdoors, some better for gaming, and some that offer lightning-fast speeds. Fast-forward to the early 1990s and Category 3 cable, which is often called the first modern networking cable, boosted the cable's frequency to 16MHz and Ethernet performance to 10Mbps. By contrast, Category 4 cable pushed this to 20Mhz and roughly 16Mbps but it was used for Token Ring – rather than Ethernet – networks.USB C is not as common as USB Type A and B, despite the additional benefits. Interested in workstation power?

As Cat 9 and 10 will surely come along, it's worth wondering what the next generation of wired connectivity will look like. Many homes already get blazing internet speeds via Fiber to the Home (FTTH), but the current technology limits them to copper Ethernet cables to then connect to the router, access points and other networking accessories. The next step could be to extend fiber's reach to inside the home with the ability to carry thousands of times more data than copper wires can today. In most modern technology devices, there will be some form of USB connection available to connect equipment. Despite supposedly being universal, there are different variations of USB types and versions; including what connectors and cables each can use. With these cables, the type is whichever end of the cable isn’t the standard USB Type-A connector. So, for example, a cable with both a USB Type-A and a Type-C connector is a USB Type-C cable.Ethernet adapters can be used with both USB-A or USB-C ports. So, whether you have an old Windows laptop or the latest MacBook, there’s an Ethernet adapter for everyone. Apart from servicing your ethernet needs, some adapters come with additional ports or SD card slots as well. That said, here are some USB-A and USB-C to ethernet adapters for your MacBook and Windows computers. You’ll typically find USB Type B ports on larger devices you connect to your computer, such as printers and scanners. You might also have external storage devices or drives that use them. At CMD Ltd, we design and manufacture workstation power modules to help provide easy power access for businesses, including USB Type A ports.
