  2. Y-cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-cable

    This is a USB 3.0 Y-cable. Traditional USB Y-cables exist to enable one USB peripheral device to receive power from two USB host sockets at once, while only transceiving data with one of those sockets. As long as the host has two available USB sockets, this enables a peripheral that requires more power than one USB port can supply (but not more ...

  3. Bi-wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi-wiring

    Amplifier and loudspeaker with two elements and crossover networks. Top: normal connection. Bottom: bi-wiring. Loudspeaker bi-wired using banana plugs. Bi-wiring is a means of connecting a loudspeaker to an audio amplifier, primarily used in hi-fi systems. Normally, there is one pair of connectors on a loudspeaker and a single cable (two ...

  4. Phone connector (audio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_connector_(audio)

    Phone plug mated in a phone socket. The plug's grooved tip is held firmly by the socket's spring tip contact. When not mated, this spring instead connects to the flat switch contact for detecting a plug. TS and TRS plugs of different sizes. A phone connector is a family of cylindrically-shaped electrical connectors primarily for analog audio ...

  5. C-Bus (protocol) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-Bus_(protocol)

    C-Bus is a communications protocol based on a seven-layer OSI model for home and building automation that can handle cable lengths up to 1000 metres using Cat-5 cable. It is used in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the Middle East, Russia, United States, South Africa, the UK and, other parts of Europe including Greece and Romania.

  6. Wireless USB - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_USB

    W-USB interacts with wired USB via wire adapters. W-USB can form true USB systems, formed by a host, devices and interconnection support. It implements the USB hub–spoke model, in which up to 127 wireless devices can form point-to-point links (spokes) with the host (the hub). The host controller is unique in the system and is usually embedded ...

  7. Speaker wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speaker_wire

    Resistance is by far the most important specification of speaker wire. [4] Low-resistance speaker wire allows more of the amplifier's power to energize the loudspeaker's voice coil. The performance of a conductor such as speaker wire is therefore optimised by limiting its length and maximising its cross-sectional area.

  8. Automatic gain control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_gain_control

    Schematic of an AGC used in the analog telephone network; the feedback from output level to gain is effected via a Vactrol resistive opto-isolator.. Automatic gain control (AGC) is a closed-loop feedback regulating circuit in an amplifier or chain of amplifiers, the purpose of which is to maintain a suitable signal amplitude at its output, despite variation of the signal amplitude at the input.

  9. RCA connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA_connector

    The hot signal wire and signal ground provided by an RCA connection implement an unbalanced connection. A true balanced connection is generally preferred in certain applications, particularly professional settings because it allows for the use of long cables while reducing susceptibility to external noise.
