“I/O CABLE AND ITS
TYPES”
Principal
Dr. B. G. Gawalwad
In the computer system, there are several different parts which are connected to the system.
These parts can be directly plugged into the computer system computer motherboard, or there
can be a requirement of some cable to connect computer parts to the system. These parts can
be digital cameras, hard drives, mice or other devices. There are different types of cables in the
market, like HDMI cable, VGA cable, DVI cable, Ethernet cable, PS/2 cable, 3.5 mm audio
cable, USB cable, and computer power cord cable.

Types of Cable
1.HDMI Cable :
HDMI (High definition Media Interface) is a type of computer cable used to transmit high
definition video and audio signals. Using the HDMI cables, the audio and video signal can be
easily transmitted without compromising the quality of images and can send crystal clear
images using this cable. The HDMI cables are used to connect cable boxes, TVs, DVD players,
media streamers and other electronic devices. All types of Av devices can be connected to one
standard cable, which is an HDMI cable. Also, one HDMI cable is capable of transmitting both
audio and video signals at the same time.
2. VJA Cable:
VGA (Video Graphics Ray) cable is another type of computer cable which is used for sending
video signals and is used to link the monitor and the CPU of a computer. The VGA cable can
also be used in HD televisions. All the information displayed on the monitor is coming from
the VGA cable. There is a total of 15 pins in the plugin the cable, which have three rows
containing 5 pins each. And the cable is easily fitted in the monitor and the other end is fixed
in the CPU of a computer system.
4. Ethernet Cable :
The Ethernet cable is a type of computer network cable which is used for a wired network. The
Ethernet cable is used to connect the switches, monitors, PCs to the LAN (Local Area
5. USB Cables :
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable is a standard cable used to connect universal devices or
personal computers. It is mainly used for short-distance digital communication. The digital
data can be transferred using a USB cable. Nowadays, the USB cable is used to charge
devices like smartphones, Bluetooth speakers, trimmers and many more. The USB cables can
be used to connect two devices directly. The USB cable is connected to the USB port present
in the computer system. The mouse and keyboard are also connected to a USB port as they
have USB cables. As the device is connected through the USB cable, the unplugging of the
USB cable when a device is running can cause damage to a device, so whenever there is a
need of removing the USB cable, first it should be eject safely and then it should be removed f
Dual-link connections double the number of RGB TMDS pairs – excluding the clock pair
– through parallel connections, thus enabling 2Gbps of bandwidth. They support higher
resolutions up to 2560×1600 at a refresh rate of 60Hz. Dual-link connectors are fully
backwards compatible with single-link operation unless a display mode uses more than
165MHz pixel clock frequency or 24 bits per pixel. In contrast, a single-link connector
cannot support dual-link connections at any time; hence a dual-link connection is
preferable in most cases.
DVI-A connectors have 17 (12+5) pins, do not have a dual-link option, and only carry
analog signals. These signals are identical to VGA signals but are presented as an
altered configuration. A VGA to DVI adapter is necessary to connect a VGA video card
to a DVI-A monitor or a DVI-A video card to a VGA monitor. Due to VGA being the
dominant connector for analog monitors and DVI as a standard for digital signals, DVI-
A connectors are quite rare; instead, DVI-I and DVI-D connectors are more common.
DVI-A cables will work with both DVI-A and DVI-I connectors. Male DVI-D cables may
fit in a female DVI-A connector, but will not work as they do not carry any analog
signals.DVI-D connectors can only transfer digital video signals. Single-link DVI-D
connectors have 19 pins (18+1) and dual-link DVI-D connectors have 25 pins (24+1).
DVI-D cables will work with both DVI-D and DVI-I connectors. HDMI and DisplayPort
connectors can support DVI-D video signals through an adapter, but DVI-D cannot
support the additional features that HDMI and DisplayPort possess, such as integrated
audio and CEC control. Most digital monitors have a DVI-D connector, while monitors
which support both digital and analog signals usually have a DVI-D and VGA
connector. Note that female DVI-D connectors will not accept male DVI-A or DVI-I
cables as those connectors have the additional 4 analog pins that DVI-D lacks.
1. Choosing among coaxial cable, twisted pair cable, and fiber optic cable mainly
depends on your needs and network topology. .
2. You can balance the cost and the requirements of bandwidth to make a choice. No
matter coaxial cable, twisted pair cable, or fiber cable, suiting your network
requirements is the best . .
