USB-B is primarily used with the largest peripherals, such as printers. It can also be found on USB hubs or monitors that have USB hubs built into them, though the B port is always part of the wire that connects that hub/monitor to your PC.

A message pipe is bi-directional and is used for control transfers. Message pipes are typically used for short, simple commands to the device, and for status responses from the device, used, for example, by the bus control pipe number 0. USB provides three isochronous (fixed-bandwidth) synchronization types, [76] all of which are used by audio devices: [77] USB-A is old, but it's been fairly reliable. Hopefully it'll be like the early days of USB where we still had serial and parallel ports, and for a while, USB devices were more expensive than the serial variety by a good margin. Eventually USB settled and everything ended up better.

USB’s primary aim is indicated by the universal of the title. That is, it originally hoped to standardize communication and power sources for computer peripherals. This universality has only recently come close to reality with USB-C, but even the initial iterations greatly improved earlier connection technologies. Before USB, users had to contend with an array of different, bulky cables and connectors, such as parallel, serial, VGA, and PS/2 ports for keyboards and mice, which notoriously had the same form factor but were not functionally interchangeable. Upstream USB connectors supply power at a nominal 5V DC via the V_BUS pin to downstream USB devices. USB in a NutShell– Chapter 2: Hardware". Beyond Logic.org.

The latest USB4 ports on laptops can utilize DisplayPort Alt Mode 2.0, which can run at up to 8K resolution at 60 Hz and use HDR10 color. Though USB4 itself can only do 40 Gbps of data, the port can send 80 Gbps of DisplayPort data, because it sends all the data in just one direction and can therefore take over all 8 lanes.

USB4 particularly supports the tunneling of the Thunderbolt 3 protocols, namely PCI Express (PCIe, load/store interface) and DisplayPort (display interface). USB4 also adds host-to-host interfaces. [2]A USB connection is always between an A end, either a host or a downstream port of a hub, and a B end, either a peripheral device or the upstream port of a hub. Historically this was made clear by the fact that hosts had only Type-A ports and peripheral devices had only Type-B, and every (valid) cable had one Type-A plug and one Type-B plug. USB-C (Type-C) is a single connector that replaces all Type-A and Type-B connectors ( legacy connectors), so when both sides are modern equipment with USB-C ports they negotiate which is the host (A) and which is the device (B). USB C is not as common as USB Type A and B, despite the additional benefits. Interested in workstation power? Universal Serial Bus Specification (PDF) (Technical report). 1996. p.29. v1.0.

Retrieved 4 March 2019.The wide range of transfer speeds available from a USB interface suits devices ranging from keyboards and mice up to streaming video interfaces. 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. USB2.0 provides for a maximum cable length of 5 meters (16ft 5in) for devices running at high speed (480Mbit/s). [88] Castor-Perry, Kendall (October 2010). "Designing Modern USB Audio Systems".
