According to a survey, Type-C port can be used to input or output power, while micro USB can only input power. USB Type-C port has a fast charging speed for phones at 18 Watts and can charge laptops with a maximum of 100 Watts. However, the charging speed of micro USB only has a regular charging speed level on USB-A.

Check for any labels on your ports that are marked as 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, or 3.1. The version number specifies how fast USB devices can transfer files. A USB port with just the USB symbol labeled is typically a USB 2.0 port. If the USB port has “SS” (or “SuperSpeed”) on its label, it's a USB 3.0 port.

The biggest advantage of introducing the USB type C is its reversibility feature. ... A USB type C port may support USB 3.1, 3.0 or even USB 2.0. USB 3.1 Gen1 is just a fancy name for USB 3.0, which provides speed up to 5Gbps while USB 3.1 Gen 2 is another name for USB 3.1 which provides a speed of 10Gbps.

Compared to the delivery of USB 2.0 (5V/0.5A) and USB 3.0 (5V/0.9A) standard power, the USB 3.1 standard provides a maximum of 20V/5A 100W power delivery, which enables high power-consuming devices to draw power directly from computers without needing an external power source.

There are generally two types of USB hubs: powered and non-powered. Powered USB hubs are devices that generate their own power from an electric socket. That means the number of devices you attach does not rely on your laptop's battery power. Meanwhile, non-powered USB hubs generate power from your laptop's USB port.

You can use a USB charger on all continents without using a voltage converter. All you need is a country specific adapter plug. ... The specification for this dual port USB charger shows that it takes 100-240 volts, 50-60 Hz. This means it works for international travel with only a country-specific adapter plug.

The implication certainly is that USB ports can go bad. My guess is that it's more 'dirt' related than anything else; the connectors are getting a little dirty over time since they are exposed to the elements. The software can get confused, certainly, but that's normally something you can clean up.

Like tev said, I can assure you that all USB cables are rated the same, i.e. for a USB port output voltage of 5V. However, USB cables are not all rated for the same current, even though a full size USB port like those found on a computer, laptop or wall / portable charger are rated for a 1.0 Ampere output.
