What does "USB male to female" mean?

"USB male to female" refers to a type of USB adapter or extension cable where one end has a male USB connector (plug) and the other end has a female USB connector (receptacle). This setup allows for extending the length of a USB connection or adapting it to fit different ports.

What is the purpose of a USB male-to-female adapter?

The primary purpose of this adapter is to extend the length of an existing USB cable. It can also be used to reposition USB ports to a more accessible location, making it easier to connect and disconnect devices.

How to use it?

To use a USB male-to-female adapter, plug the male end into a USB port on your computer or device, and then connect your USB device to the female end. This effectively extends the reach of your USB device.

Are there different types of adapters?

Yes, there are different types of USB male-to-female adapters corresponding to various USB standards, such as USB 2.0, USB 3.0, and USB-C. They vary in terms of data transfer speeds and power delivery capabilities.

Can I use a USB male-to-female adapter with any USB device?

Generally, a USB male-to-female adapter is compatible with any USB device. However, it is important to match the type of USB (e.g., USB 2.0, USB 3.0, or USB-C) to ensure proper functionality and optimal performance.

Is there a limit to how many USB male-to-female adapters I can use in a chain?

While you can connect multiple USB male-to-female adapters or extension cables in a chain, it is not recommended to exceed the maximum USB cable length (typically around 5 meters for USB 2.0 and 3 meters for USB 3.0) without using powered USB hubs or repeaters, as this can degrade performance and power delivery.

Can a USB male-to-female adapter support data transfer and power delivery?

 Yes, this type of adapter can support both data transfer and power delivery. The capabilities depend on the USB standard of the adapter. For example, USB 3.0 adapters support faster data transfer rates and higher power delivery compared to USB 2.0 adapters.

What are some common uses for USB male-to-female adapters?

Common uses for USB male-to-female adapters include extending the reach of USB devices like keyboards, mice, printers, and external hard drives; relocating USB ports to more convenient locations; and connecting USB devices to hard-to-reach ports on desktop computers or behind TV sets.

“UHD” is the abbreviation of Ultra High Definition, which means Ultra High Definition. The “UHD” standard proposal issued by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) calls the display with a physical resolution of 3840×2160 (4K×2K) and above as ultra high definition. Under different standards, the resolution represented by UHD is different. For example, the common resolution of Full Aperture UHD in the film industry is 4096 x 3112 and Academy UHD is 3656×2664. Generally speaking, UHD TV is the standard issued by ITU.

FHD is called Full High Definition. In the internationally recognized standards, “HD” is defined as three standard forms of 720p, 1080i and 1080p. But FHD is 1920*1080p. There are two conditions for this standard: 1. the video vertical resolution exceeds 720p or 1080i; 2. the video aspect ratio is 16:9. “P” means progressive scanning and “I” means interlaced scanning. Generally speaking, 480*320, 640*480 are “standard definition”; 1024*720p, 1920*1080i are “high definition”; 1920*1080p is “full HD”; 3840*2160, 7680*4320 are “ultra HD” (UHD).

Then we can clearly see the difference between UHD and FHD. UHD is Ultra High Definition with a resolution of 3840×2160 and above and FHD is 1920×1080p. In terms of video resolution, UHD is at least 4 times higher than FHD. The previous difference is intuitive and can be distinguished with our eyes.

The addition of the power delivery capability to USB Type-C effectively reduces the clutter of having to carry multiple cables and adapters for power, A/V, and data transfer. This additional specification allows for a theoretical 100W max charging power, which is sufficient to charge devices larger than tablets such as laptops. Power Delivery is in its infancy but will become more widely adopted as device manufactures and connectivity providers develop the technology. Not all USB-C cables or devices are capable of supporting USB PD. Always consult the specifications for your devices to confirm support for the PD (as well as the maxium charging power).

                              Table 2-1 USB Type-C Specification Release 1.3

Mode of Operation	Nominal Voltage	Maximum Current
USB 2.0	5V	500 mA
USB 3.1	5V	900 mA
USB BC 1.2	5V	Up to 1.5A
USB Type-C	5V	1.5A or 3A
USB PD	Configurable up to 20V	Configurable Up to 5A

For the first time, the USB-IF has allowed alternate protocols on their connectors to extend the capabilities of this connection. The addition of non-USB formats like DisplayPort, Thunderbolt 3, and MHL will allow devices to connect to displays and transfer data at higher speeds through a single USB-C cable. For example, Thunderbolt 3 can allow for bandwidth up to 40Gbps and support dual 4k displays @ 60Hz. This allows for ultra-fast data transfer to and from a Hard Drive or support for the latest TVs and monitors all in a compact adapter.
 
Not all USB Type-C cables or devices are capable of supporting these technologies. Always consult the specifications for your devices to confirm support for alternate modes. As an example, some laptops support Type-C but do not support Thunderbolt 3 or alternate modes. Computers and smartphones with USB-C 2.0 will not support alternate modes and thus, are not capable of transmitting video.

USB connector types multiplied as the specification progressed. The original USB specification detailed Type-A and Type-B plugs and receptacles. The USB Type-C Specification defines a new small reversible-plug connector for USB devices. The Type-C plug connects to both hosts and devices, replacing various Type-A and Type-B connectors and cables.

Not all USB-C ports support all features of USB-C. Some computers and smartphones support data only for flash drives while some others support video out and power as well.

According to the actual data test, the high purity Oxygen-free copper shows more delicate in display when compare with normal purity copper, it is not easy oxidation, can be used in every place, noise reduction, the capacity of keeping real color is better than purity copper. Therefore, 6N Oxygen-free copper is better than 4N Oxygen-free copper.

An excellent headphone can’t be decided whether is good or not by the external factor. Not represented by a kind of material and structure. It is perfect match under a modern electro acoustics, materials science, ergonomics and stereo aesthetic. ——《The evaluation of the headset》

The conclusion for an excellent headphone is coming from the objective testing and subjective of listen the music. The objective testing included curve frequency response, response curve, impedance curve, square wave test, intermediation distortion and so on.

The first we need to know the headphone is the characteristic of the headphone’s sound. The advantage of the headphone is small phase distortion, wide frequency response.

The first characteristic is head shadow effect:
What acoustic environment the headphone made is the nature cannot achieve, The waves of sound Nature are interacting with a person's head and ears before enter into the ear canal.  While most record is made for sound playback, audio and video on the two speakers even wiring due to these two reasons we use headphones will feel audio-visual form in the header, listening is not natural, easy to cause fatigue. Head shadow effect can be improved through the use of special physical structure; sound field simulation software and hardware in the market.

The second characteristic is Earphone of low frequency:
Under the low frequency section (40 hz - 20 hz) and ultra-low frequency (20 hz) is through the body of perception, the human ear is not sensitive to the spectrum. Headphones can perfect the replay this low frequency, but because the body cannot feel low frequency, can let a person feel the headset of low frequency. Intermediate frequency for the headset is a sensitive area, the music of the most abundant information, is also the most sensitive to the human ear.The design of the headset to treat intermediate frequency is cautious, some low-grade headphones its frequency response range is limited, but on the mention of intermediate frequency and low get bright and sharp tone and turbidity, powerful voice, caused the appearance of high frequency is good, long time listening to the headphones, will feel dull.

Good headphones sound should have the following features:
1. Bottom and pure, without any unpleasant "slash", "om", sound.
2. Good sense of balance, tone won’t too bright or too dark, however, low frequency energy distribution uniformity, high band fusion between natural and smooth, no abrupt and burr.
3. High frequency extension is good, exquisite and smooth.
4. Low frequency pe deep, clean, full, full of elasticity and strength, no fat and slow.
5. Intermediate frequency distortion tiny, transparent and warm, human kind nature, thickness, magnetic, literally dental and twang.
6. Good resolving power, rich details, small signal can also clear replay.
7. Has a good ability of acoustic field depicting sound field is open, the instrument is accurate, and stable and sound field in enough amount of information, and you won't feel empty.
8. There was no obvious compression, dynamic has a good sense of speed, no distortion or distortion under the volume is small.

Such a headset can perfect replay any type of music, and music have good like real degree, long-term use does not cause fatigue, can make the listener immersed in music.

This interface is based on PanalLink (an interface technology created by Silicon Image) and TMDS electrical protocol and works as a basic electrical connection. TMDS（transition minimized differential signaling）is a differential signaling mechanism which can code pixel data and then transmit the data via serial connection. Digital signals created by the video card are coded according to TMDS protocol, then transmitted to the receiver via TMDS channel by the transmitter and finally they reach the digital display equipment after decoding. A DVI display system includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is the source of signals and can be built in the chip of a video card or attached to the PCB of the video card as an additional chip, while the receiver is an electrical circuit on a display which can receive and decode digital signals as well as transmit them to the display circuit. Through the transmitter and the receiver, the signals sent from the video card turn into images on the display. 

     

VGA (video graphics array) interface is used to output analog signals on the video card. It is also called D-Sub interface. Though LCD(liquid crystal display) can directly receive digital signals, many low-end products still adopt VGA interface in order to match VGA-interfaced video card. VGA is a type D interface with fifteen pinholes in three rows. And there are five pinholes in each row. VGA is the most widely used interface type on video cards. The majority of video cards have this interface. 

     

HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) is a brand new interface that transcends those audio-video splitting transmission interfaces of the past. Its transmission rate can reach a maximum of 5Gb/s. Besides,this interface can transmit image data and further more, it can simultaneously transmit audio signals up to eight sound channels. This non-compressed digital data transmission can effectively reduce signal interference and attenuation caused by data type conversion. 

DisplayPort is an interface standard without any fee for using. It seems that HDMI and DisplayPort have the same function and with a high speed digital serial links.  

 

In fact, they are completely different on structure. 

On Physical properties, HDMI and Display Port both are based on same infrastructure and used high-speed low voltage differential signal to transmit data when they run on differential coaxial twisted-pair cable. 

But the similarities end there. Although their standards are very similar from the appearance, a great deal of difference on structure. 

 

Their difference determines the performance of the link cost, compatibility, robustness and easy execution ability.

 

HDMI standard defines four types of connectors, A to D. In addition to the Type B, the rest are 19 pin. Type C and D are used for small equipment and portable applications.

 

Two standard cables are slightly different. 

1. HDMI1.0 to1.3 use four pair shield coaxial on differential coaxial, four single-ended control signal , power supply (+ 5 v) and drain. 

2. HDMI1.4 increased the audio return channels and Ethernet, so the fabric of the signal is different. HDMI1.4 uses four pairs coaxial, one unshielded differential pair, three single-ended signal, power supply (+ 5 v) and drain. This means that, HDMI1.4 and HDMI1.3 use different cables. If using a non HDMI1.4 cable in HDMI1.4 system, the audio return and Ethernet function will be lost. However, all function of HDMI1.3 and other new features of HDMI1.4 (such as 3D) can be kept.
