Two types of connectors may be found on a USB cable: Type A, and Type B. The USB Type A connector has a rectangular profile and is generally used at the end of the cable that plugs into the host USB port. The USB Type B connector has a square-like profile and is generally used on the end of the cable that plugs into the USB peripheral device.
The USB cable itself is composed of four conductor wires. Two wires are used for data communications, leaving the two for transferring 5V power to the USB peripheral devices. In many cases, this 5V source is sufficient to power these USB devices, thereby eliminating the need for an external power supply and providing a neat and tidy installation. USB extension cables may also be used to increase the distance between the USB device and USB port.
