In addition to carrying analog RGB video, the connector supports analog stereo audio signals (input and output), Apple Desktop Bus (ADB), and S-video input. [4] Because the AudioVision 14 Display has front-mounted connectors for ADB and audio and video, a single consolidated cable and proprietary connector was used to simplify the connection to the computer and reduce cable clutter.
Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) is a proprietary [1] bit-serial peripheral bus connecting low-speed devices to computers. It was introduced on the Apple IIGS in 1986 as a way to support low-cost devices like keyboards and mice, enabling them to be connected together in a daisy chain without the need for hubs or other devices.
An AUI connector is a DA-15 (D-subminiature) type, where the DTE side has a female connector and the MAU side has a male connector. [1]The connector often uses a sliding clip instead of the typical thumbscrews found on D-connectors, allowing the DTE and MAU to be directly attached, even when their size or shape would not accommodate thumbscrews.

FireWire is Apple's name for the IEEE 1394 High Speed Serial Bus.
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. [1] This is a non-standard term.
A network interface controller (NIC, also known as a network interface card, [3] network adapter, LAN adapter and physical network interface [4]) is a computer hardware component that connects a computer to a computer network. [5] Early network interface controllers were commonly implemented on expansion cards that plugged into a computer bus.
This connector may have been chosen to avoid confusion with the monitor port on early Macintoshes, which also uses a DA-15. [3] The connector locks into position using two clips or hooks on the sides of the connector outside of the shell which automatically clicks on when plugged in, and can be removed by pulling back on a sliding sheath over ...
The original Ethernet's successor standard, Fast Ethernet, introduced division into medium access control (MAC) and physical layers connected with media-independent interface (MII). Some early Fast Ethernet hardware had physical external MII connectors, functionally similar to the AUI connector, but generally separate adaptors became obsolete.
