VGA PORT
 There are still many computers support VGA port. In
a computer, VGA port belongs to the VGA card or graphic card.
The connector of this VGA port uses DE 15 connectors with 15
pins.
 The primary function of a VGA port is to transmit the
graphic data from the computer to the monitor screen display or output. The
screen display or output that can be used is a screen display monitor, television,

voice signal.

2. HDMI (HIGH DEFINITION MULTIMEDIA INTERFACE)

 The HDMI port is a type or computer port


development to support the external graphic
card of a computer. HDMI stands for High
Definition Multimedia Interface. An HDMI
port supports all types of multimedia
hardware devices.
 The functions an HDMI port are the same as a
VGA Port. However, HDMI is capable of
transmitting media with HD quality and can transmit voice signals. HDMI port is
currently an option you can use to display a computer graphics on particular types
of computer monitors such as large TV monitors or large projectors.

3. PARALLEL PORT
 The parallel port is one of the types of
computer ports that works to plug a certain
hardware component or device that requires
speed connection. Typically, a type of parallel
port works with 8 bits at a time and capable of
sending 50 to 100 kilobytes of
data per second. Such capabilities make it suitable for close-range data
transmission and fast.
4. NETWORK PORT

 Ethernet is a networking technology that is used


` to connect your computer to internet and
communicate with other computers or networking
devices.

5. AUDIO PORT
 A standard computer usually supports
only one audio port for producing a
stereo output. However, on a computer
with a more sophisticated soundcard,
it supports sound output from 5.1 to
9.1 for specific purposes.

 Audio Port audio port is to transmit the


sound produced by the computer to the
external audio output, such as speakers
or headphones. An audio port of a
computer works with a sound card,
where the quality of the sound output
depends on the quality of the
soundcard.

6. SERIAL PORT

 This type of computer port is a typical


port that works to connect a keyboard,
mouse, or a PLC (Programmable Logic
Controller). Most of the serial ports use
a type of RS-232C connector with a set
of pins between 9 and 25 pins.
 In the fifth generation computers, serial
ports are rarely used, given that most of
the today’s computers use standard
USB ports to connect many types of
computer hardware devices

7. USB (UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS)


 You must be familiar with this type of
port. The USB port is a standard port
for the fifth generation of computer
technology. USB stands for Universal
Serial Bus which has various purposes
(universal).
 USB ports on a computer can displace
the role of the serial and parallel ports
because standard hardware devices
support USB connection. Today’s
computers even don’t support serial
and parallel ports anymore, which
makes computers more tiny, practical,
and simple.
8. PS/2 PORT
 PS/2 port is a type of classic port which is
often found on desktop PC that uses CPU
to connect the keyboard and mouse. The
shape its connector is round with many
pins. However, the PS/2 port is very rarely
used nowadays, given that the use of USB
ports have dominate the current computer
products to support external computer
devices connections. PS/2 ports are usually
used to connect mouse and keyboard. But,
most recent computer and laptop products
have replaced the role of PS/2 ports with
USB ports.
9. FIREWIRE PORT

 Users more familiar with USB can


consider FireWire similar to USB, as
they have some similarities. Like USB,
FireWire has dozens of different
devices, such as removable drives and
cameras.
 Alternatively referred to as IEEE-1394,
FireWire is a digital bus with a
bandwidth of 400-800 Mbps and
higher. It can handle up to 63 units on
the same bus, is hot swappable, and
supports PnP (plug and play) devices. It
was first developed by Apple in 1995.

10. EXTERNAL SATA (ESATA)


 e-SATA is an external Serial AT
Attachment connector that is used as
an interface for connecting external
mass storage devices. Modern e-SATA
connector are called e-SATAp and
stands for Power e-SATA ports.
 They are hybrid ports capable of
supporting both eSATA and USB.
Neither the SATA organization nor the
USB organization has officially
approved the e-SATAp port and must
be used at user’s risk.
