DVI port -ANSWER-Digital Visual Interface; accepts both analog and digital signals but only
through specific connectors. DVI-D, DVI-A, and DVI-A/D or DVI-I. DVI-I and DVI-D also
support Dual-Link connections by having extra pins.
DisplayPort -ANSWER-Compact 20-pin connector; supports up to 2560 x 1600 and 120 Hz
refresh rates. Can drive up to four displays by a single port and is capable of signal
encryption and transmission of audio. Also comes in Mini Displayport.
HDMI port -ANSWER-High Definition Multimedia Interface; also comes in mini and micro
variations
S/PDIF -ANSWER-Sony/Phillips Digital Interface; digital audio output that comes in both
electrical and optical variations. Electrical usually uses RCA on coax, optical uses fiber.
RG-6 cable -ANSWER-Coaxial connection 75 Ohms
RG-59 cable -ANSWER-Coaxial connection 75Ohms
F connector -ANSWER-Coaxial connector, pin center, outer threaded ring
Component video -ANSWER-Uses 3 RCA connectors that split the signal into its components,
1 for brightness and 2 for color (Yellow, red, white)
S-Video -ANSWER-Sends video signal from a computer to a TV, shaped similarly to PS/2
,MIDI/Joystick port -ANSWER-On legacy systems, a female DB-15 port with the pins arranged
in 2 rows instead of 3
ST connector -ANSWER-Fiber connector (stick it in and twist it)
SC connector -ANSWER-Fiber connector (stick and click)
LC connector -ANSWER-Fiber Connector
BNC connector -ANSWER-Bayonet-style coax connector used for 10Base2 or Thinnet
networking
FDDI, MT-RJ, and FC -ANSWER-Fiber internet connectors, less popular
USB Max devices -ANSWER-Can support up to 127 devices on a single port
USB 1.0/1.1 Low speed data rate -ANSWER-Conn type with 1.5 Mbps max speed
USB 1.0/1.1 Full Speed data rate -ANSWER-Conn type with 12 Mbit/s speed
