RS232 is a definition for serial communication on a 1:1 base. ... RS232 ports can be either accessed directly by an application, or via a device driver in the operating system. USB on the other hand is a bus system which allows more than one peripheral to be connected to a host computer via one USB port.

USB 2.0 was only capable of a theoretical maximum data transfer rate of 480 megabits per second, while USB 3.0 was capable of 5 gigabits per second, or over 10 times faster. ... The data transfer speed of USB 3.1 is incredible – 10Gbps. This rivals the speed of Ethernet and the original Thunderbolt.

If you see a blue USB port, it's USB 3.0. It may also be marked on the outside of the port with either “SS” or “3.0.” If you don't see any blue ports or markings but you're still not sure, click the Start menu and openControl Panel. Within Control Panel, open System and Maintenance then Device Manager.

The biggest difference between USB-C and USB 3.1 can be summarized as “The USB-C is a physical connector while the USB 3.1 is a transfer standard.” The USB-C can be used with previous standards of USB. And there is no absolute correlation between USB 3.1 and USB-C.

USB 2.0 details & connector information USB 2.0 is a Universal Serial Bus (USB) standard. Almost all devices with USB capabilities, and nearly all USB cables, support at least USB 2.0. Devices that adhere to the USB 2.0 standard have the ability to transmit data at a maximum speed of 480 Mbps.

USB hubs increase the number of USB devices that can connect to a computer without having to add additional hardware. ... The difference between powered and non-powered USB hubs is that the former draws its power from an electrical outlet while the latter draws its power from the computer connection.

1.0 which was the original standard of USB, and 2.0 which is the improved version for newer devices. To the end user, the difference between these two devices is purely in its speed. USB 1.0 devices can only achieve a maximum speed of 12Mbps while 2.0 devices can theoretically achieve up to 40 times that at 480Mbps.

They are interchangeable, but you will notice that they are not all same regarding build quality. I have a bunch of mini-USB cables, but only few of them can power a USB hard-drive without a secondary jack. For devices not hungry for power, usually it does not matter.
