One lady wrote a book USB for dummies and some of her information is wrong
3 point zero lol
I have a question for you.
I have a cat and I’ve bought several electronic toys for her.
I guess they got sucked up in the black hole because I can’t seem to find them. I want to get replacements but I don’t know what size to get. Do you have any recommendations or suggestions?

USB C is good because it’s symmetrical can go up or down the micro b you could never tell which way to put it in harm the plug
I want to connect my tv to my DAC for audio but the connections are different. I used to use optical but this DAC has no optical input.
I still use micro usb chargers
It did Some school owners don’t know what they’re selling. I was so a double sided seaport cord and I asked him He sees. I have my phone and still sold me the wrong things, I’m gonna take it back.
Even merchants are just buying things to sell
I asked about the term ‘Marxsol Cables. Watched the video. Still don’t have an answer.
Your presentation was just great! Very informative and clear. Thank you!
USB A, USB C
Hi,,,the USB from your ph to a 8" Digital Photo Frame????
o_o
✅✅🌠
if screen damaged,how to allow data??????
Perfect. Thanks
Do usbc 3.0 have six wires inside instead of 4?
good explanation and east to follow, thanks.
Great info bro thank you very much , I was wishing for this info big time!!!
The effing CompTIA textbook asked me to identify a 2 dimensional USB cable picture and I seem to have almost no way of knowing whether or not it is a USB micro or mini because I cannot rotate it… Anyone else have this same issue.
Thanks. I’ve been trying to figure out what these cables mean, and it’s soooooo confusing.
There’s got to be something a difference between the older style Android phone looking charge cords that charge these many keyboards because a regular standard Android phone cord won’t charge this mini keyboard
Micro USB is rubbish. The cables always fail
USB C ? Is not USB 4 wtf ?
Show them up close!!!
Thank you❤
I have a fire box that came with the mini keyboard I lost the USB cord to it and every chord I try to use to charge this keyboard don’t seem to work is there a Pacific type of USB cord for that was many firebox charging cords to the mini keyboard?. I mean I’ve tried every single one I could possibly use it looks like it’s for the older style Android phones
Wow, you know so much about cables…… (scared to ask you this, but ) we want a cable to hook to a Mac book pro 2014 version 2 and make it work with some the latest toys and things you can now do……so the cables would have to connect a version 2 (MacBook) with a version 4 (MacBook) so to speak……
Very helpful, thank you sir.
There is a mini b that looks like a top hat unfortunately cameras have a mini b ,but it has 8 Pin for Nikon cameras the standard mini B has five pins and is bigger was super confusing
FINALLY, a well-made, informative video, one of the best I’ve ever watched. You are an excellent speaker and have a pleasant recording voice. You also speak at a nice pace. I will immediately close them if the speaker’s voice makes annoying sounds, like those with hard S’s. That is like fingernails on a chalkboard. I tend to be critical due to my role at my previous job.
I appreciate the information you provided about connecting computers using a dual USB C cable (the end that you plug into a charger on both ends). You mentioned it wouldn’t know which is the primary, or host computer. I have a laptop with a severely cracked screen and wanted to use a cable to view what I had on the hard drive, then transfer pictures and files to a storage device. I don’t recall if the old laptop has an HDMI port, but I think I’ll check. I can usually figure things out, but don’t know enough to know what the best options are. Also, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for explaining about the speeds etc. I can’t begin to tell you how much I’ve spent on orders from Amazon. Users like myself end up spending so much money on multiple cables, adapters and devices, when a few would probably suffice. The only suggestion I have is that it would be helpful to provide additional information, if possible, regarding the micro-USB with the extra "piece" on the end since it’s not one that is seen often. Thank you!
Why do some usb c to usb c do fast change and some only do slow, please?
I am needing a USB charger cord and box would u know which one I bought a bleech otomozer on Amazon and don’t understand china but in the instructions it says USB in English but then besides it has written in china three lines one way two lines the other and I’m needing a replacement cord would u know what kind I’d need
Found this video on the website you’re getting a sub.
Wikipedia has accurate information on USB they aren’t next to a ruler
I hear a lot of people say no USB a to USB a cable and I have one to connect a External HD
you done nothing just bla bla
Bought a cheap USB cable from "Big Lots" discount store that wouldn’t fit my mobile phone’s C female connection and got fleeced at my phone carrier store😡😡
3:12 You will see USB-A male to USB-A female cables. They are extension cables. Same goes for extension cables for B, mini, micro, and C.
Clear, concise, top notch explanations!
Usba at least they’re strong and don’t break I like them it’s worth the little bit of size for the strength
Perfectly explained, thank you. I now know exactly which cable I need for my phone.
Although not commonly used, there are USB Micro Type A connectors as well as USB Mini Type A connectors. I have actually had a use for the Mini Type A connectors when connecting two graphing calculators together for transferring files from on to the other.
What an awesome tutorial. I learned so much. Thank you for sharing.
I know this video is 5 years ago.
The USB B is still widely used my office has several new printer that use them along with some audio interfaces now some of these have other connectors but they all have the USB B port on them.
thank you that is the vedio i was looking for. thanks once again sir
No for real😥
Wasn’t USB-A just USB?
I’ve got a question why do some USB ports bring up on my device check charge and sync cable but when I use other USB plugs it not
How does a USB type work?
