- 2. WHAT ARE THE COMPUTER CABLES? A cable, also known as a cord, plug, or connector transmits power or data between devices or positions, which is covered in plastic by one or more wires. A power cable and data cable are the primary types of computer cables. The cable that creates communication between devices is known as a data cable. For instance, DVI, HDMI, or VGA are all the data cables that are used to attach to the computer monitor and enable it to display an image or picture on the computer monitor. The USB>/a>, SATA, CAT5, and IDE/EIDE cables are other popular examples of data cables. A cable that powers the device is known as a power cable. For instance, inside the computer, a Molex-style cable and the power cord that attaches to computer
- 3. TYPES OF COMPUTER CABLES There are multiple parts available in the computer that is associated with the system, which is either connected directly or needs some cable to connect computer parts to the system. The parts in the computer system can be mice, Digital cameras, hard drives, or others. There are several types of cables available in the market with a different purpose; these cables are computer power cord cable, Ethernet cable, DVI cable, HDMI cable, PS/2 cable, USB cable, 3.5 mm audio cable, and VGA cable. Below is a list that contains the most common kinds of computer cables:
- 4. • HDMI CABLE • VGA CABLE • DVI CABLE • SATA CABLE • ETHERNET CABLE • PS/2 CABLE • 3.5mm AUDIO CABLE • USB CABLE • OPTICAL FIBER CABLES • CONSOLE CABLE
- 5. HDMI CABLE High-definition media interface which is called as HDMI cable is one of the types of computer cables. The users are able to transmit the high-definition audio and video information signals easily with the help of this cable. The process will not hamper the quality of images. Another advantage of using these cables is that you will be able to send crystal clear images without any trouble. How HDMI cables are useful connections? The individuals are free to connect cable boxes, televisions, DVD players, and other electronic devices like media streamers with the help of HDMI cable.

- 7. VGA CABLE Video Graphics ray which is called VGA in simple terms. VGA cable is been used for sending video signals. Also, you can utilize it for establishing the connection between the CPU and monitor of a computer system. Nowadays, all of us are using high-definition televisions. In such electronic devices, a VGA cable is been used for displaying the complete information on the monitor. How to connect VGA cable with computer system? This cable consists of a plugin in which there are 15 pins which also includes three rows. In each of the three rows, it contains 5 pins. Now, you need to fit one end of this cable to your monitor and the other end to the CPU of the computer system.

- 9. DVI CABLE Digital visual interface is another kind of computer cable which is used for connecting the LCD monitor and video card. The high image quality is been visible to users and hence such cables are used in CRT ,LCD monitors. It is feasible to transmit both signals analog and digital to the computer machine. The reason behind this is that this type of computer cables is compatible with both digital and analog connections. The users can find the difference easily by looking at the pins of the cable. In case, the cable consists of a flat pin and the number is four then it is surely DVI analog. If you are able to see only a single flat pin then the cable will be DVI digital.

- 11. SATA CABLE SATA cables are used for connecting hard drives to the system motherboard. This types of computer cables consists of 7 pins which is easily recognized as it has the shape of an L. IDE is been replaced by SATA, the reason behind this is it deliver a high data transfer speed. is easily recognized as it has the shape of an L. IDE is been replaced by SATA, the reason behind this is it deliver a high data transfer speed.

- 13. ETHERNET CABLE An important kind of computer table used for networking is known as Ethernet cable. The system administrators utilize such cables for connecting switches, computer machines to LAN (Local area network). These cables are plugged into an Ethernet port which is available in the system’s motherboard. The users can find three different variants like Cat 5, Cat 5e, and Cat 6 which provide the network speed of 10 Mbps, 1000 Mbps, 10 Gbps respectively. Are phone cable and ethernet cables are similar? This cable consists of different colors and 8 wires which looks like the phone cable. The only difference is Ethernet cable consists of more wires than the phone cable.
- 14. ETHERNET CABLE
- 15. PS/2 CABLE For connecting mouse and keyboard to your computer system, PS/2 cable is been used which is known as a standard cable. This kind of cable is good with length so that users can easily work on their system. PS/2 cable consists of 6 pins with a round connector. In today’s world, this cable is been replaced by USB cables which are easy to use and connect on any of the systems. There was always a confusion in using ps/2 port, which one to use for keyboard and which one for mouse, you can easily understand this doubt as purple color port is for keyboard and green color port is use for mouse.

- 17. 3.5mm AUDIO CABLE In computer applications, 3.5mm audio cables are been used to establish the connection between your system and earphones or headphones. If you have a mini-stereo audio device then also, 5mm audio cable is used for computer audio applications. Purpose and usage of Different ports and colors of 5mm audio cable This cable consists of different ports with varied colors. The green port is beneficial for headphones and personal computer speakers. While the blue port is helpful for working with DVD and MP3 players. The pink port is feasible to connect microphones.
- 19. USB CABLE A widely used computer cable called USB (Universal serial bus). It is one of the most used types of computer cable in different departments. Nowadays, users are preferring this kind of cable for connecting all common devices like mice, keyboards, printers, wireless adapters, flash drives, and many more. How many varieties of USB cables are available in the market? It is easy to find micro-USB, mini-USB, type A and type B standard USB. Such cables have different versions like USB 1.0/1.1 is known as the slowest among all the available versions. USB 2.0 is a widely used cable in the market. While USB 3.0 is one of the fastest computer cables available it is beneficial for transferring data quickly.

- 21. OPTICAL FIBER CABLES The optical fiber cables are environment-friendly and are assembled in the same way as that of an electrical cable. Multimode and single-mode are the two primary types of fiber. Such cables are made with thin strands of glass which are known as optical fibers. These optical fiber cables are responsible for carrying information between the two different places which is based on light technology. These cables are also beneficial to attain higher bandwidth.
- 23. CONSOLE CABLE The cable which is used for serial connection between the system serial and console port on TP-Link switch is known as Console cable. This can be explained with an example of the GC98FF modular adapter which consists of a DB9 female connector and an RJ45 female connector. Such adapters are helpful in converting the DB9 male connection to the RJ45 female connection.

- 25. CONCLUSION Computer cables are used to connect a variety of systems so that data can be transmitted between two devices. Cables are used to transmit both digital and analog signals, but in today’s time, some cables are used to send electric signals, the best example of this is the USB cable. In today’s time, many types of cables are used according to the system and requirement, whose speed is different. In this article, we discussed about the types of computer cables and also know about its uses, hope that if you liked this article, then share it as much as possible and comment for any kind of feedback and also share your suggestion .
