Cable Types Flashcards
Bit
5
- Lower case “b.”
- binary digit
- Single bit can store one of two digits 1 or 0
- NIbble is 4 bits
-Byte is 8 bits - data transfer (50 bps / 2 seconds = 25 bps)
1Kbps
1000 bits
125 Bytes (1000/8)
Byte
2
- 8 bits for each byte (8 = 1)
- Upper case “B.”
Bit to Byte Converstions
Review this one
1 million (MB or Mb)
1 billion GB or Gb
1 trillion TB or Tb

USB overview
6
- can daisy chain up to 127 devices per controller (i.e USB hub..)
- Limitations…
- Each port is controlled by a host controller
- Same bandwidth for all devices (5 Gbps max speed with five devices connected all get 1 Gbps)
- If device doesnt support speed of host controller it will reduce to the speed it does support ( i.e if hub supports 5Gbps and cord/ device plugged in supports 2 Gbps then it will reduce to 2Gbps
- Longer cables have higher chance of resistance and speed & signal deterioration
- Shorter cables provide maximum performance
Serial cable
4
- came out before USB
- Designed to replace USB
- connected using DB9 most commonly
- A cable that sends data in ones and zeros in a straight line, but it can only send one bit at a time, which is measured at the speed of cables in bits
per second
DB9
7
- screwed in
- called serial because you can only all data sent as 1’s and 0’s
- speed measure in bps or Kbps
- fastest 115 kbps
- mice keyboards, external modems
- only connect one device
- designed to replace USB
USB 2.0
3/ last two are the same
Three types
- low speed (USB 1.0) 1.5 Mbps/ 3m(9ft)
- Full speed (USB 1.1) 12 Mbps/ 5m(15ft)
- Hi speed (USB 2.0) 480 Mbps/ 5m(15ft)
USB 3 (SuperSpeed)
3/ All distance are the same/ speed doubles each time
Three types
- SS USB 3.1 GEN 1: 5 Gbps / 3m(9ft)
- SS USB 3.1 GEN 2 : 10 Gbps/ 3m(9ft)
- SS USB 3.2 GEN 2x2 20 Gbps/ 3m(9ft)
USB 3 Super speed
4
USB 3.1:
- Gen 1: 5 Gbps
- Gen 2: 10 Gbps
- Gen 2x2: 20 Gbps
USB 4
3
- 40 Gbps/ 3m(9ft)
- The most modern version of USB
- must have shorter cable
USB limitations
3
- Longer cables have resistence and signal/speed deterioration (Shorter cables give maximum performance)
- when plugged into a hub speed is split between ports
- slowest device will be operating speed of all devices plugged into hub
Power over USB
2
- USB 1.0/2.0 500 milliamps or .5 amps
- USB 3.0 900 milliamps or .9 amps 4.5 watts of power)
Powered device port
1
If usb is plugged into this device it can get 1500 milliamps or 1.5 amps (7.5 watts of power
USB type A
- USB 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0
- Most common
- desktops and laptops
- USB type c
- USB 3 and beyond
- Insert in any directs
- modern tablets, laptops, smartphones
- USB Type B standard
- usually found on larger devices like printers
- 3.0 looks different
USB Type B 3.0
- USB type B mini
- tablets and smartphones
