Tip #271: Examples of USB Connectors

USB uses nine different connectors and five different speed settings.
USB is known for all its different connectors. Recently, I was reading Wikipedia and discovered this illustration.
USB has nine different connectors and five different speeds. The addition of USB-C makes six different speeds.
The three sizes of USB connectors are the default or standard format intended for desktop or portable equipment, the mini intended for mobile equipment, and the thinner micro size, for low-profile mobile equipment such as mobile phones and tablets. There are five speeds for USB data transfer: Low Speed, Full Speed, High Speed (from version 2.0 of the specification), SuperSpeed (from version 3.0), and SuperSpeed+ (from version 3.1).
If you want to learn more, Wikipedia has a worthwhile article here.
Interesting, but incomplete. Article cites USB-C but fails to include it in the illustration.
