Optical fiber allows for high-speed communication over long distances. In this video, you’ll learn about fiber optic SC, ST, and LC connectors. << Previous: Copper Connectors Next Video: An Overview of Memory >> If you’re working with fiber optics, there are a number of standard interfaces you might find. One of these interface types is

Do you have the right cable for the job? In this video, you’ll learn about RJ11, RJ45, F-connectors, punchdown blocks, USB, USB-C, Molex, Lightning, and DB-9 connectors. << Previous: Adapters and Converters Next Video: Fiber Connectors >> We’ll start our conversation of copper connectors with one that is relatively common, an RJ11 connector. This is

We don’t always have exactly the right cable or connector, but we might have a handy adapter or converter. In this video, you’ll learn about converting or adapting DVI to HDMI, DVI, to VGA, USB to Ethernet, USB-C to USB-A, or using one of the many interfaces on a USB hub. << Previous: Storage Cables

Many of the storage devices in our modern computers rely on a cable for connectivity. In this video, you’ll learn about connecting drives with SATA and eSATA interfaces. << Previous: Video Cables Next Video: Adapters and Converters >> If you’re connecting a hard drive inside of a desktop computer, then you’re probably using a standard

Our monitors and displays connect to our computers using a number of different methods. In this video, you’ll learn about HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, VGA, and video over USB-C. << Previous: Peripheral Cables Next Video: Storage Cables >> If you’re connecting a computer to a screen, or really, any type of consumer electronics to a video

There are standard methods for connecting peripheral devices to our computers. In this video, you’ll learn about USB, USB-C, serial cables, and Thunderbolt technologies. << Previous: Optical Fiber Next Video: Video Cables >> If you connected any type of peripheral device to your computer, then you’ve probably used a USB cable. USB stands for Universal

Many organizations use optical fiber to connect locations over high-speed network topologies. In this video, you’ll learn the fundamentals of optical fiber and the differences between multimode fiber and single-mode fiber. << Previous: 568A and 568B Colors Next Video: Peripheral Cables >> If you walk into a data center, you’ll find a great deal of
