    Study Notes

    Network Connections

    • Wired Networks: Utilize Ethernet cables to connect computers to a network via wall jacks that lead back to switches and other devices.
    • RJ-45 Connector: Standard connector used for Ethernet cables, featuring eight pins; connects to eight internal copper wires.
    • RJ-11 Connector: Smaller than RJ-45, used for landline telephones and older networks; has four to six pins.
    • Voice over IP (VoIP): VoIP phones connect to Ethernet networks using RJ-45, not RJ-11.

    Wireless Networks

    • Wireless LAN (WLAN): Created by Wi-Fi networks, enabling networking of devices such as smartphones and laptops without physical cables.
    • Bluetooth: Personal Area Network (PAN) technology primarily for connecting peripherals, with a range of about 30 feet (10 meters) using RF communication.
    • Near-Field Communication (NFC): Facilitates extremely short-range connections (a few inches), common in wireless payments and access control systems.

    Peripheral Interfaces

    • Peripheral Devices: Ancillary components (printers, scanners, keyboards, mice) connected to computer systems; various connectors and cables are used for these connections.

    USB Connectors

    • Universal Serial Bus (USB): Available in several types (USB-A, USB-B, USB-C), each serving different devices and applications.
    • Common USB Variants: USB Micro and USB Mini also exist as variations within the USB family.

    Specialized Connectors

    • FireWire: Designed for Apple products with limited use today; includes FireWire 400 and 800 types.

    Video Connectors

    • DVI Connectors: Include variations like DVI-D Dual Link, DVI-I Single Link, and DVI-A Single Link for video output connections.
    • HDMI Connectors: Support high-resolution video (up to 5K), capable of transmitting both audio and video on one cable.
    • DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort: Also support high-resolution video and audio transmission.
    • USB-C with Thunderbolt: Modern monitors can connect via USB-C, which can handle video, audio, and power; Thunderbolt uses both Mini DisplayPort and USB-C for data and power transmission.

    Exam Tips

    • Be familiar with the functions, distances, and scenarios for different connectors, especially distinguishing video connectors from others.
    • Understand differences between connectors used for wired and wireless networking as well as peripherals.
