Cables and their functions / speeds

Analog signal No digital Image degrades after 5 to 10 meters

• All digital, no analog • ~ 20 meter distance before losing too much signal

• Type C connector • Designed for smaller devices

-Data is sent in packetized form like Ethernet and PCI Express -Compatible with HDMI and DVI

• Single link; 3.7 Gbps (HDTV at 60 fps) • Dual link; 7.4 Gbps (HDTV at 85 fps)

• Digital and analog in the same connector

• Higher power output for phones and tablets • Can be inserted either way • Simpler design, more durable

• Data and power on the same cable • Based on Mini DisplayPort (MDP) standard

• 10 Gbit/s per channel • 20 Gbit/s total throughput • Mini DisplayPort connector

20 Gbit/s aggregated channels Mini DisplayPort connector

USB-C connectorn, Maximum 3 meters (copper),60 meters (optical), daisy-chain up to 6 devices

• Low speed: 1.5 megabits per second, 3 meters • Full speed: 12 megabits per second, 5 meters

480 megabits per second, 5 meters

• 5 gigabits per second, ~3 meters • Standard does not specify a cable length

• SuperSpeed+ • 10 Gbit/sec

• SuperSpeed+ over a USB-C connector • 10 Gbit/sec and 20 Gbit/sec

USB-C isn’t necessarily USB 3.1 • The cable must support the function • USB 3.1 speeds • Power delivery (> 7.5 watts) • Alternate mode (additional data wires)

Used for modems, printers, mice, networking

• SATA Revision 1.0 • SATA 1.5 Gbit/s, 1 meter • SATA Revision 2.0 • SATA 3.0 Gbit/s, 1 meter • SATA Revision 3.0 • SATA 6.0 Gbit/s, 1 meter • SATA Revision 3.2 • SATA 16 Gbit/s, 1 meter

RJ-11 is the common connector for plugging a telephone into the wall and the handset into the telephone.

connector is a miniature quick connect / disconnect radio frequency connector used for coaxial cable.

used for "over the air" terrestrial television, cable television and universally for satellite television

eSATA is a SATA connector accessible from outside the computer, to provide a signal (but not power) connection for external storage devices.

Molex is a legacy plug that most things don't use anymore, but certain components (e.g. coolers and lighting) still use it

TIP-RING-RING-SLEEVE (JACK)

connect audio devices, head seats etc.
