MODULE 1

• SOLID WIRE - It is constructed from a single piece of metal. It is more durable than stranded wire but more rigid and less flexible. If subjected to frequent flexing, it is more likely to break than stranded wire.
• STRANDED WIRE It is made up of many individual strands of wire that connect to form a single conductor. It is more malleable than solid wire but less sturdy.
• VGA Cable - Analog video cable is also known as D-sub cable.
• One end should be connected to a computer monitor (PC input port) and connect one end to the computer's VGA port.
• VGA stands for Video Graphics Array
• DVI CABLE It is used with DVI enabled graphics cards to optimize the benefit of flat panel digital displays by utilizing the DVI
• DVI also known as the Digital Video Interface
• HDMI CABLE - is a computer cable that transmits high-definition audio and video signals. Using this cable, audio, and video signals can be easily transmitted without compromising graphics performance and can send crystal good photos.
• HDMI stands for High-Definition Media Interface
• The PS/2 cable is a common cable used to connect a mouse and keyboard to a personal computer.
• The purple PS/2 cable is a connector for the keyboard and the green PS/2 cable is a connector for the mouse.
• Ethernet cable is a type of computer network cable that is used in a wired network.
• The Ethernet cable connects switches, monitors, and PCs to the LAN (Local Area Network).
• AUDIO CABLE - 3.5mm audio cables are a type of computer cable that is commonly used in computer audio applications. This cable connects a mini-stereo audio device, PC sound card, or any portable CD player to any multimedia speaker. This cable is also used to connect the system's earphones and headphones.
• The USB (Universal Serial Bus) - cable is a type of standard cable used to connect universal devices or computers. Its primary application is for short-distance digital communication. USB cable can be used to transfer digital data.
• A power cable is any cable that supplies power to a device. Power cables include, for example, the power cord that connects to your computer and a Molex style cable inside the computer.
• TWISTED PAIR CABLE - It is made up of two or more insulated copper wires that are twisted together and color-coded. These wires are commonly used in telephone cables, and the number of wires determines the resistance to external interference.
• MULTI-CONDUCTOR WIRE - This cable is defined as "an electrical wire that consists of multiple conductors with insulation sheaths imposed in a single cable." In the construction of a multi-conductor cable, strands of annealed tinned copper wires are used. The copper wire conductors are insulated with polyethylene and housed within a polyester aluminum shield.
• COAXIAL CABLE - This is made up of a solid copper or steel conductor that has been plated with copper and is surrounded by a metallic braid and tape. This is completely protected by an insulated outer jacket. These cables can be used for computer networking as well as audio-video networking.
• FIBER-OPTICS CABLE - These cables transport optical data signals from a connected light source to a receiving device. We all know what an optical fiber is and how it can be used in a wide range of applications.
