USB Cables(2)

From computers to smartphones, tablets to gaming consoles, all gadgets come with some sort of a USB port. By using the correct wire in the correct port, you can charge you devices, connect them to peripherals, and even transfer data from one device to the other. USB stands for Universal Serial Bus, and is available in different types. You can explore a wide range of different USB cables and connectors online at Croma.com.

USB is designed to be a one-cable-fits-all technology. However, there are several USBs, each with a specific purpose and facilitating different uses. Some traditional USB types are USB type-A, type-C, and microUSB. USB type-A is usually found on pen drives, external hard drives, and most laptop accessories. MicroUSB is rarely found on modern mobile phones. However, microUSB is still found on grooming devices and some accessories as a charging port. USB type-C is now a common USB port type found on smartphones, tablets, earphones, and a few pen drives. Majority of iPhones and AirPods today have a unique connector, called the Lightning Connector. Depending on the type of connector cable you buy and the devices you use it with, you can use these cables to charge your gadgets, transfer data, or connect it to other computer peripherals like printers.

While USB ports are primarily designed for data transfer, High-Definition Multimedia Interface or HDMI ports let you transmit audio and video from one device to another. For example, you can use HDMI cable to project content from your laptop to a monitor or TV. HDMI connectors and ports are available in different sizes. Whether you want to buy a USB cable or an HDMI cable, you must check the gadget compatibility and cable length before making your purchase.
