3.1 Cables And Adapters: Multipurpose Cables Flashcards
Lightning
Apple proprietary
- 8 pin digital signals
Advantages over micro usb - higher power output for phones and tablets - can be inserted either way - simpler design, more durable -
Thunderbolt
High speed serial connector
- data and power on the same cable
- based on mini display port (MDP) standard
Thunderbolt V1
- send data - 2 channels
- 10 gbit/s per channel
- 20 gbit/s total throughput
- mini display port connector
Thunderbolt v2
- 20gbit/s aggregated channels
- Mini DisplayPort connector
Thunderbolt v3
- 40gbit/s aggregated throughput
- USB-C connector
Maximum copper cable distance : 3 meters
- optical standard - allows to expand by 60 meters
- daisy chain up to 6 devices
USB
Universal Serial Bus
Simplify connections
USB 1.1 ( 2 speeds available)
- low speed: 1.5 megabits per second, 3 meters
- full speed 12 megabits per second, 5 meters
USB 2.0
- 480 megabits per second, 5 meters
USB 3.0
- superSpeed
- 5 gigabits per second ~ 3 meters
- standard does not have a specified cable length
USB 3.1
- released July 2013
- superSpeed +
- type A and USB- C connectors
- 10 gbit/sec- twice the rate of USB 3.0
USB-3.2
- released September 2017
- new superSpeed+ modes over usb-c
- 10 gbit/s and 20 gbit/s
USB-C
USB has a lot of different connectors that changed over time
USB - c replaces all other old version connectors
USB- c isn’t necessarily usb 3.1, Cable must have functions:
- 3.1 speeds
- power delivery > 7.5 watts
- must support alternate mode (allows for other data protocols to be sent through cable)
DB-9 serial cable connector
D- subminitiare or D- sub
Often used for connecting to routers, switches, firewalls, etc
Different sizes
- DA through DE
Commonly Sends serial data through RS-232 connection
- recommended standard 232
- industry standard since 1969
Built for modem communication
- modems, printers, mice, networking
Used as configuration port
