Printer cable refers to the cable that carries data between a computer and a printer. There are many different types of cables, for example: Serial: RS-232, EIA-422; Parallel; FireWire; USB; Parallel port printers have been slowly phased out, and are now difficult to find for the most part, being considered as an obsolete legacy port on most ...
Thus, USB cables have different ends: A and B, with different physical connectors for each. Each format has a plug and receptacle defined for each of the A and B ends. A USB cable, by definition, has a plug on each end—one A (or C) and one B (or C)—and the corresponding receptacle is usually on a computer or electronic device.
USB bridge cables have become less important with USB dual-role-device capabilities introduced with the USB 3.1 specification. Under the most recent specifications, USB supports most scenarios connecting systems directly with a Type-C cable. For the capability to work, however, connected systems must support role-switching.
The written USB 3.0 specification was released by Intel and its partners in August 2008. The first USB 3.0 controller chips were sampled by NEC in May 2009, [4] and the first products using the USB 3.0 specification arrived in January 2010. [5] USB 3.0 connectors are generally backward compatible, but include new wiring and full-duplex operation.
The Type-C specification does not name specific DP speeds that it considers supported for passive cables where support is optional for active cables. The USB-C presentation on DP Alt mode [47] calls out passive full-featured USB-C cables for their DisplayPort support and headroom for future DP speed increases. HBR3 was the highest available DP ...
An IEEE 1284 36-pin male micro ribbon printer cable connection. The computer side normally uses a DB-25 port instead of this connector. IEEE 1284, also known as the Centronics port, is a standard that defines bi-directional parallel communications between computers and other devices.
Under the USB 3.2 specification, released 22 September 2017, [11] existing SuperSpeed certified USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 cables will be able to operate at 10 Gbit/s (up from 5 Gbit/s), and SuperSpeed+ certified USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 cables will be able to operate at 20 Gbit/s (up from 10 Gbit/s). The increase in bandwidth is a result of multi-lane operation ...
Examples of computer connector sockets on various laptops Ports on the back of the Apple Mac Mini (2005). A computer port is a hardware piece on a computer where an electrical connector can be plugged to link the device to external devices, such as another computer, a peripheral device or network equipment.
