Major Differences Among Various Forms Of Computer Cords

The use of computer cords is quite often now a days. With the introduction of variety of their types, it has become necessary to draw the line of differences among them, so that one can use them appropriately. Following are the various types of cables:

VGA or Video Graphics Array was built back in 1980's. The connection between VGA and computer is known to be a standard way of connection. It basically consists of 15 connective pins which are systematically arranged in three rows and separates into three basic colored channels: (I). Red, (II). Green and (III). Blue.

USB or Universal Serial Bus is the most populous form of computer cables which is used for the standard connectivity procedure of any kind of storage devices to the computer. There are total three basic forms of USB: USB 1.0/1.1, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 which have been divided with respect to their storage capabilities. USB cable consists of two connectors each at separate ends. In addition to these, Micro and Mini USB cables are used for the mobile devices mainly.

The Serial Advanced Technology Attachment have been created in order to replace the older form of ATA cables which were created for making the connection between the computer and other storage appliances. The difference is that SATA built up the faster connectivity and speed while transferring data. SATA device exhibits 3.5-inch SATA drives particularly for desktop and 2.5-inch drives for any kind of transportable computer. SATA consists of cable which consists of two 8-pin connectors and helps in connecting the motherboard to the hard drive.

E-SATA which is also known as External Serial Advanced Technology Attachment is basically an external edge to add a new factor into the range of SATA devices. The structure of E-SATA is quite similar to those of SATA devices which are being used inside the computer. These cables creates the connection of external hard drives in order to transfer the data and are three times faster than those of Fire Cable 400 and also as compared to the USB 2.0.

DVI or also known as Digital Visual Interface is the replacement of VGA which facilitates the high quality of visual display to the various digital display appliances like LCD (Liquid Crystal Displays) or computer screens. It facilitates the transmission of visual signals among the stored video source and then helps in displaying the picture with the usage of a digital etiquette where the pixels are transmitted as binary system of data.

High-Definition Multimedia Interface is particularly used in the transmission of very high quality and pixels of videos. These cables built a connection between the digital video devices such as PC graphic cards etc. and digital LCD's. HDMI also creates a connection between the devices having DVI video signals. HDMI establish backward-attunedconnection with DVI appliances, but only with the versions of DVI-D or DVI-I not with DVI-A. HDMI mostly are used forlatest computer monitor screens nowadays.
