Top 7 Computer Cables That Are Used

Inside and Outside of a CPU

We are moving towards an age where people are using laptops and tablets more

than the computer system. But we have yet not given up using a computer

system. There are certain professions that still prefer a system like IT companies,

government offices, schools, etc.

Talking about computer systems, one of the key challenges that most of you might

have faced is during its setup. For a hassle-free setup, the most important thing to

understand is computer cables. There are a lot of cables that run inside and

outside the CPU. It is important to know them well in order to get the best quality

output.

Here we have discussed seven cables from which some are used inside while

some are used outside the CPU for different purposes. Let us understand it one by

one.

Bi-directional Printer Cables

A bi-directional cable means it can send real time information from computer to

printer and vice versa. Such communications enable monitoring printer status and

print job scheduling even if it is distributing print jobs from multiple computers to

multiple printers. Nowadays, most printers allow turning off the bi-directional

option from the computer or from printer drivers. This way the printer gets some

extra buffer resources for status checking, communication, and error reporting.

DVI Cables

Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is used to connect displays with the CPU. DVI cables

deliver better picture quality compared to VGA cables. So DVI took the place of

VGA cables. The main intention behind developing these cables was to transmit

both digital and analog signals at industry standards.

D-Subminiature Cables

D-subminiature or D-sub or DB connectors are commonly used in communication.

The name is derived from the fact that its shape resembled the shape of letter D.

It was developed by Cannon in the 1950's. The connector consists of two parallel

rows of pins. Day by day it is replaced by USB connectors, but still there are

devices that use only DB connectors like computers, projectors, medical devices,

etc. As these connectors have screws for enclosure which help to create a solid

mechanical connection.

DisplayPort Cables

DisplayPort is to transfer audio and video data over a singular cable. It is

something similar to an HDMI cable. It can connect a display and graphics card,

laptop, or computer. The resolution and refresh rates are high. DisplayPort has

many advantages like strong manufacturing, greater bandwidth, and explicit

feature set. You can also manually set resolution and refresh rate for the displays.

Firewire

Firewire is a connecting device used for connecting digital camcorders, hard

drives, keyboard, digital camera, etc. Firewire cable was developed by Apple and

was the standard feature for many years of Mac computers. In recent years, Macs

have been installed with a new interface called Thunderbolt. FireWire devices are

also called hot-pluggable which mean that without any power, they can be

connected and disconnected.

Null Modem Cable

A null modem cable, also known as cross over cable, allows a head-to-head

connection between two serial devices through their communication ports. It has

a length limit upto 30 feet. It is usually used to connect two computers in the

same room for gaming or sending and receiving files.

IDE Cables

Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) is an electronic interface standard. It defines the

connection between a computer's motherboard and a disk storage device. One

IDE ribbon cable connects one hard drive and a CD drive to the motherboard. It

can connect two hard drives also to the motherboard. For successful

implementation, the jumpers must be configured correctly.

Conclusion

Now that you know what cables go inside and outside the CPU, the only thing that

remains is to ensure the quality of these cables. It is wise to buy good quality

cables from authorized sellers. This way you will save your system from any other

damage. To buy these cables online, you just need to search “firewire cables” or

“IDE cables” or “Computer cables” and you will find the products with the pricing.
