What is A USB-B port?
What is USB Type-B used for? You’ll typically find USB Type-B ports on larger devices you connect to your computer, such as printers and scanners. You plug the Type-B connector into the printer, scanner or other device and the Type-A connector to the standard USB port on your computer.
What is the standard USB size?
The three sizes of USB connectors are the default or standard format intended for desktop or portable equipment, the mini intended for mobile equipment, and the thinner micro size, for low-profile mobile equipment such as mobile phones and tablets.

What’s the difference between USB-A and USB-C?
It can but first let’s clarify the difference between USB-C and USB. USB-C is a physical connector and, despite the name, it does not imply support for any particular version of the USB standard.

USB-C can handle higher data transfer rates and higher current/voltage for new specs, which translates to faster charge times. But the key word there is can.
