What are Cables in Computer Network?

A networking cable is a piece of networking hardware used to connect one network device to other network devices or to connect two or more computers to share devices such as printers or scanners.

HDMI Cables (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

  • HDMI cables are used to transmit high-definition video and audio signals between devices like TVs, monitors, gaming consoles, and Blu-ray players.
  • USB Cables (Universal Serial Bus)
  • USB cables are widely used for connecting peripherals (keyboards, mice, printers, external drives) to computers and for charging devices. Common USB cable types include USB-A, USB-B, USB-C, Mini-USB, and Micro-USB.

Data and Networking Cables (Ethernet Cable Types)

  1. Cat3 cable: Older type, used in telephone wiring, supports up to 10 Mbps.
  2. Cat5 cable: Supports data transmission up to 100 Mbps.
  3. Cat5e cable: Enhanced Cat5, reduces interference and supports speeds up to 1 Gbps. A popular choice for home networks.
  4. Cat6 cable: Supports 1 Gbps for longer distances and 10 Gbps for shorter distances (up to 55 meters), with improved shielding.
  5. Cat6a cable: Augmented Cat6, supports 10 Gbps over 100 meters, with better shielding and higher bandwidth (500 MHz).
  6. Cat7 cable: Offers superior shielding, supports 10 Gbps and 600 MHz bandwidth, often using GG45 or TERA connectors.
  7. Cat8 cable: The newest, supports 25 Gbps or 40 Gbps over shorter distances (30 meters) and 2000 MHz bandwidth, primarily for data centers.

What is a VGA Cable Used For?

VGA cables are primarily used to:

  • Connect older computers with VGA outputs.
  • Connect to older monitors and projectors with VGA inputs.
  • Serve as a fallback option for compatibility in some modern setups.
  • Found in industrial and embedded systems where reliability and simplicity are key.

VGA Connector Details

The most common VGA connector is the DE-15 (HD15 or D-sub 15). It has a distinctive trapezoidal shape with 15 pins arranged in three rows. These connectors can be male (with pins) or female (with holes) and are often secured with captive thumbscrews for a firm connection. The 15 pins carry various signals, including separate lines for red, green, and blue video, as well as horizontal and vertical synchronization signals.

Types of VGA Cables and Adapters

While the core VGA standard refers to the 15-pin analog connection, you'll encounter various VGA cable types and VGA adapters:

  1. Standard VGA Cable (Male-to-Male): The most common 15-pin VGA cable, used for direct connection between a computer and a monitor.
  2. VGA Extension Cables (Male-to-Female): Used to extend the reach of an existing VGA connection.
  3. VGA to DVI Cable: A hybrid cable connecting VGA outputs to DVI inputs (typically DVI-A or DVI-I, which carry analog signals).
  4. VGA to HDMI Converter/Adapter: These active converters are increasingly common as HDMI is the dominant modern standard, converting the analog VGA signal to digital HDMI. Some advanced versions include a separate 3.5mm audio output as VGA is video-only.
  5. VGA to DisplayPort Adapters: Similar to HDMI adapters, these convert the analog VGA signal to a digital DisplayPort signal.
  6. USB to VGA Adapter: Adapters that allow you to connect a VGA display to a USB port on a computer.
  7. Mini-VGA Connector: A smaller version of the DE-15, sometimes found on older laptops and portable devices.
  8. 5-BNC Connector: Used in professional video and broadcast applications, this uses five separate BNC connectors for the red, green, blue, horizontal sync, and vertical sync signals.
