An Analysis of Different Types of Computer Cables and Connectors

A computer has many parts that are connected to each other via cables, especially external hardware that make use of external cables. Different types of cables serve their own purposes and have little to no compatibility with connectors that are not meant to connect those cables, for every cable has its own unique connecting pin. Here is an analysis of different types of computer cables and connectors : VGA Cable VGA stands for video graphics array. The main task of this cable is to connect the computer motherboard with an external monitor that can display images sent to it by the computer. It is used to transfer video signals, and comes in male and female type connectors. Modern computers use more advanced connections, so VGA connectors are slowly becoming uncommon. HDMI Cable HDMI stands for high definition multimedia interface. It is the modern replacement for VGA cable, for unlike VGA, HDMI cables can transmit both video and audio signals at very high speeds, ...

Types of Wire Crimping Tools and Their Applications

Introduction Crimper tools are basically used to join two different wires and connectors with each other. The wires in question have thin diameters that make it easy to twist and shut them together. This process of joining wires using hand crimping tool is also known as cold welding; more on that later. Types of Wire Crimping Tools According to American Wire Gauge (AWG) standards that are followed when designing wire crimping tools, they come in many sizes that allow them to work cold welds on wires of varying thickness. When speaking of types of wire crimping tools , they can be roughly classified on the basis of type of force application or on the basis of crimps. Types of Crimping Tools on the Basis of Application of Force Hand Crimpers: These crimping tools are primarily hand-operated. As the force applied on crimps comes directly from the force applied by hand, it is used for smaller wires with thin diameters. Uses include cold welding wires and cutting wires. Hydra...
