USB Types

There are many different types of USB ports and I found a helpful image to show the different common types of USB. There are still other types of USB connections but most of them are proprietary and are only made to work with a specific device that it plugs into. The USB types in the image below from left to right are USB mini-A, USB mini-B, USB B, USB A(female), USB A(male).

Here I am being mr picky… there is no such thing as a female USB connector - only plug and receptacle. So in your picture that’s a USB A Receptacle. It’s also a violation of the USB specification, since this receptacle is on a usb extension cable with no hub. A Receptacles can only be on devices (such as computers or hubs).
