USB-C(used)
Describe USB-C connector
24 pins
Double sided- upside down plug dosne’t matter, can be plugged in either way
uses the same connector on both the host and the device ends, doesn’t matter either
Features of the lighting cable
Proprietary to Apple products
Used for charging and data transfer
Contains 8 pins per side
Can be inserted face up or dooown

any kind of SCSI equipment
Describe DE9
Communications port
Token ring network interfaces
Some very old video connections
Legacy computer mouse connector
Features of NFC
No pairing No device discovery Instant communication Data sharing Short distance Radio-frequency identification
Features of Bluetooth
Bluetooth devices must discover each other first and must be paired before any data will be exchanged
Also uses RFID(Radio frequency identification), but much greater range, 30 feet
