What are the different types of USB plugs and ports?
A1: The different types of USB ports are highlighted below.Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0)USB 2.0 Standard-A plug and receptacle. A Standard-A USB plug inserts into a USB host or a hub and carries both power and data. USB 2.0 Standard-B plug and receptacle. A Standard-B plug typically plugs into a large device, such as a printer. Micro-USB 2.0 (Micro-A, Micro-B and Micro-AB) plug and receptacle. Micro-USB connectors carry both power and data, and support USB On-The-Go. They are used in small portable devices, such as smartphones, digital cameras, GPS devices and more.SuperSpeed USB (USB 3.0)SuperSpeed USB cables and connectors contain 5 additional wires compared to USB 2.0. If you have a SuperSpeed USB plug and a Hi-Speed USB receptacle, the device will work, at Hi-Speed USB rates. If you have a Hi-Speed USB receptacle and a SuperSpeed USB plug, the device will work, at Hi-Speed USB rates. In order to achieve the data throughput of SuperSpeed USB, a user must have a SuperSpeed USB host, a SuperSpeed USB device and a SuperSpeed USB cable.USB 3.0 Standard-A plug and receptacle. A Standard-A USB plug inserts into a USB host, or a hub, and carries both power and data. The USB 3.0 Standard-A plug and receptacle are backward compatible with the USB 2.0 Standard-A plug and receptacle.USB 3.0 Standard-B plug and receptacle. A Standard-B plug typically plugs into a large device, such as a printer. The USB 3.0 Standard-B receptacle is backward compatible with the USB 2.0 Standard-B plug.Micro-USB 3.0 (Micro-B) plug and receptacle. A Micro-USB 3.0 plug is for small, portable devices, such as smartphones, digital cameras, GPS devices and more. The Micro-USB 3.0 receptacle is backward compatible with the& Micro-USB 2.0 plug.Will I need special software to run USB?
A2: For USB 2.0, there is no special software needed. Current operating systems all support USB 2.0.Currently, for USB 3.0, host software is required, delivered by the host vendor. In August 2011, Microsoft announced that it will support USB 3.0 in its Windows 8 operating system, which will become the de facto software stack. Additionally, USB 3.0 is currently supported in the Linux kernel.&&
What kinds of USB peripherals can I connect to my PC?
A3: Virtually all USB peripherals can be connected to a PC, i.e. mobile phones, digital cameras and camcorders, HDDs, SSDs, set-top boxes, TVs, gaming consoles, GPS devices, digital scanners, printers, keyboards, mice and digital joysticks.
How many USB peripherals can I connect at once?
A4: Technically, you can connect up to 127 individual USB peripherals at one time. Due to the fact that some devices reserve USB bandwidth, the practical maximum of devices is less than the theoretical maximum. However, PCI-USB add-in cards provide an independent USB bus to which even more peripherals can be connected.
Where can I find out what USB products are currently available...or on the way?
A5: You've come to the right place! This website highlights

DIN Connector Guide
What are DIN Connectors?
DIN is an abbreviation for Deutsches Institut f&r Normung, or German Institute for Standardization, which is a German manufacturing industry standards group. DIN connectors are round, with pins arranged in a circular pattern. This type of connector was used widely for PC keyboards, MIDI instruments, and other specialized equipment. Another type of DIN connector is the mini-DIN. As the name suggests, mini-DIN connectors are smaller in size than a regular DIN. They are still round, but with the pins arranged in horizontal rows rather than in a circular pattern. Mini-DIN connectors are used for S-video connections, PS/2 mouse & keyboards, and some other applications. DIN and mini-DIN connectors are both held in place by the friction of the connector body and by pins.

The 4-pin Mini Din connector is the proper name for what is commonly referenced as an S-Video connector. The connector has 4 pins arranged in 2 rows, as well as a keying block to make certain the plug cannot be inserted improperly. Even though the S-Video connector has 4 pins, it only carries two signals & luminance and chrominance. The Luminance is a black-and-white wide-bandwidth television signal. The Chrominance is the color information of the video. The other 2 pins are used for signal ground connections.
6-pin Mini Din (PS/2)
