The data is transferred through the d and d connectors while vbus and gnd connectors provide power to the usb device.
Usb cable power pins.
In a usb data cable data and data signals are transmitted on a twisted pair with no termination needed.
As a result there are many usb connector types.
The usb cable provides four pathways two power conductors and two twisted signal conductors.
Maximum length of cable is about 5 m for awg20 and 0 8 m for awg28 cable.
This is shown in figure 5.
Usb 1 and usb 2 type a ports have just four pins internally.

It has become the standard connection method for wide variety of devices.
Some usb cables only carry power lacking the wiring for data transmission.

In these cases we can power the circuitry inside the cable by applying a 5 v 1 w power supply to the vconn pin.
Besides some active cables utilize a re driver chip to strengthen the signal and compensate for the losses incurred by the cable etc.
Two for data and two for power.

The table below helps give an overview of the various types and formats.
The usb device that uses full speed bandwidth devices must have a twisted pair d and d conductors.
Power cables that comes with power banks are sometimes of this type.
Usb is a serial bus.

Types a and b have 4 pins within the connector mini and micro a and b connectors generally have five pins.
Usb 3 type a ports have nine pins in total but are completely backwards compatible.
