PARTS OF BACK PANEL PORTS • It is used to connect PS/2 Mouse/Keyboard
• Ps2 Mini-DIN connector has 6 pins and carries a
1. VGA Port (Video Graphic Array) - 15 pin port arranged in 3 serial signal at frequencies starting from 10 up to 16 rows to connect monitor kHz. • In our days ps/2 port was replaced by usb port, which is more easy to implement on a PC even though ps2 offers more capability and a greater speed.
2. DVI (Digital Video Interface) is a video connection
standard. Most DVI ports support both analog and digital displays. If the display is analog, the DVI connection converts the digital signal to an analog signal. If the display is digital, no conversion is necessary. 5. Com Ports / serial port - 9 Pin connector to connect serial mouse. Port which allow only one bit at a time. Used to connect communication device. (COM Port – Communication Port) .In our days the serial port is most used on industrial devices and programming.
3. DP (DisplayPort) -is a digital display interface. is primarily
used to connect a video source to a display device such as a computer monitor, and it can also carry audio, USB, and 6. USB Port (Universal Serial Bus) other forms of data. • is the most used connection point for data transfer in the world. • it was created in the mid-1990s with the intention of replacing all other PC ports like serial port , parallel port , PS/2 port. • 127 devices can connected in to USB port. • USB 1.0 was released. It had a speed range between 1.5 Mb/s and 12 Mb/s. • Four years later USB 2.0 port was released and had a maximum speed of 480 Mb/s. • In 2008 USB 3.0 was release. This technology can reach speeds of 5 Gb/s which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0 4. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a trademark and brand name for a digital interface used to transmit audio and video data in a single cable. • It is supported by modern audio/video equipment, such as 4K televisions, HDTVs, audio receivers, DVD and Blu-ray players, cable boxes, and video game consoles.
7. Parallel Port
• Port which allow one byte at a time.
4. Ps2 (personal system 2) - The mouse is teal or green and the keyboard is purple. • 25-36 pin female port to connect printer, scanner & external devices.
8. Audio Port - An audio port on a computer is any receptacle
or jack to which an audio device such as speakers, headphones or a microphone can be connected
9. Ethernet port - a network hardware interface used for data
transfer and control between atleast two devices that can support the ip (internet protocol) • Is used in the connection between a computer modem port or network port and a Ethernet switchThe Ethernet port speed can vary 10Mbps up to 10Gbps. • The maximum Ethernet cable length between switches computers and routers is100 meters or 328ft. After this the signal starts losing in amplitude and you could experience connection loss. • If you want to use internet cables on longer distances it is better to use signal boosters for every 100 meters. • A more efficient way is to use fiber optic cable who with special equipment can go up to 20 km without any signal booster.
