Networking cables have not changed much since the old days as well, maybe that is because most of it has gone wireless… Well, the certain half-eaten fruit company definitely has no love for the mainstream standards. Lightning is the latest generation of iPhone/iPad connectors, and it is specific to Apple devices only.

Apple finally cracked under pressure, this is pretty much a USB Type-C port with video output capabilities.

Thunderbolt 3 – If you can’t win them, join them.

The Thunderbolt port is a versatile one that can be used to both connect devices and output video.

Thunderbolt 1 & 2 – Adopted much of the DisplayPort technologies.

While there are a couple of gadgets made for the FireWire, it was never too popular and was overshadowed by USB.įollowing up with a not-so-popular FireWire, the Thunderbolt is the successor with a twist. The FireWire is Apple’s so-called early version of the USB, but this is not compatible with USB devices. There is no direction, and you can plug this in upright or reversed.

Type C – Also used for mobile devices, but this one is reversible.

Mini and micro Type B USB – Used for mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and digital cameras.

Type B USB – The “square type” connector that is commonly used for printers.

Type A USB – The common Joe USB connector that you see everywhere.

But offers faster data transfer, and also capable of handling more power for fast charging.

USB 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 – These are the versions of USB, and every later version of the USB simply supports a better data transfer rate.

But what you do need to know, is that there are so many types of USB that it is rather confusing. I don’t think USB needs a lot of explanation, USB devices are everywhere these days. It turned out to be a good idea, got adopted by many other manufacturers, and became the de facto standard – Until USB took over.

These are invented by IBM for their line of computers called Personal System, for the purpose of connecting the keyboard and mouse. As some of you may have noticed, yes, these are the ancestors of the USB.

The serial connectors are cousins to the parallel connectors. Of course, they could not handle large amounts of data fast enough and have been totally phased out. They are built like tanks and wouldn’t even budge if you yanked hard at it. Once upon a time in the stone age of computers, we connect printers to computers using these parallel cables.

Next, we move on with one of the most confusing parts of computer connectors – The many devices and miscellaneous connectors. But just a quick trivial, display port and HDMI cables carry both video and audio signals Technically speaking, they are not categorized as “pure video cables”, but “audio-visual cables”. You can call this the “successor of DVI cables” with a much smaller footprint, much more suitable for mobile devices. Mini HDMI Type C: For the smaller tablets and ultrabooks.HDMI Type A: The full-sized HDMI, is used on desktops and some laptops.In particular, the 3 most common ones are: This is the “common Joe” that you see everywhere these days, and it comes in various different sizes to fulfill the needs of various devices in the market. People quickly realized that the size of the DVI connector is not good for mobile devices, and it is soon taken over by HDMI and display port connectors.ģ) HIGH DEFINITION MULTIMEDIA INTERFACE (HDMI) It was the “mainstream video connector” for a while, until the mobile market boom. It was taken over by the DVI and HDMI connector.įollowing a need for a cable that is capable of handling more video data, the DVI connector took over VGA. This used to be everywhere in desktops and laptops, but the VGA connector could no longer catch up with the advanced video technologies.

This is one of the older display connectors, also called an “analog video connector”. Now that we are done with the basics, let us move on to the display cables and connectors.
