- 3. a standard for connection sockets on computers and other electronic equipment.
- 5. a 15-pin socket that's part of the D-subminiature (D-Sub) connector family
- 8. a standard for connecting video devices to computers. An analog interface that uses a 15-pin connector.
- 12. a standard that mentions the specifications used by cables, ports, and protocols that enable simple and universally accepted connectivity between a host and peripheral device
- 13. connect your Mac, iPhone, or iPad to a display that uses Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) or USB-C for video
- 15. probably the most common USB cable besides Type-A. Android phones from years prior and modern gaming consoles use this smaller form factor USB for charging controllers and devices. Its shape looks like a shrunken HDMI cable, and it is the smallest of all USBs.
- 16. used to connect Apple mobile devices like iPhones, iPads, and iPods to host computers, external monitors, cameras, USB battery chargers, and other peripherals
- 17. a versatile connector that can be used for charging, data transfer, video output, and more. It's becoming the standard charging port for many devices.
- 18. a device or software component that allows different systems or components to work together
- 21. require an external power source such as a wall outlet or a battery.
- 22. a flexible glass or plastic fiber that can transmit light from one end to the other.
- 24. used to connect and communicate between computers and peripheral devices, such as hard disk drives, tape drives, CD/DVD drives, and scanners
- 25. connect telephones, modems, and other devices to a wall jack or phone line
- 26. a command and transport protocol that defines how data is transferred between a computer's motherboard and mass storage devices
Down
- 1. means a device is powered by a USB connection instead of an external power supply.
- 2. a method used to access computer peripheral devices that employs a serial -- one bit at a time -- means of digital data transfer over thin cables
- 4. a set of technical specifications that define how digital. audio signals are transmitted between audio devices.
- 6. allow connecting a peripheral device with one plug to a different jack on the computer.
- 7. cables are most commonly used to transmit video data from older PCs to older monitors
- 9. a type of connector used to connect headphones, external speakers, and other audio devices to a computer, smartphone, or any other device
- 10. a software application that helps programmers develop software code efficiently
- 11. a digital interface that transmits audio and video, while VGA is an analog interface that transmits video only
- 14. a rectangular connector that provides power and data transfer. It's the most common type of USB connector and is used on many devices, including computers, laptops, and gaming consoles.
- 19. a standardized telecommunication network interface for connecting voice and data equipment to a computer service provided by a local exchange carrier or long distance carrier.
- 20. a digital display interface standard primarily used to connect a computer to a monitor
- 23. Originally popular in early mobilephone, IT has shifted towards use in digital cameras as devices have trended towards even smaller connectors like micro USB. Today, it serves as a legacy connector, mainly found in specific devices and no longer common for new products.
