Study Notes
Networking and Connectivity
- The minimum cable requirement for Gigabit Ethernet is CAT 5e.
- Upgrading to Gigabit Ethernet with a CAT 5 cable may require switching to a CAT 6 cable for improved performance.
- Bluetooth setup does not require NFC to be enabled.
- NFC technology is primarily used for payment systems.
USB Standards and Connections
- USB 3.0 devices connected to a USB 2.0 port operate at USB 2.0 speeds.
- Red-marked USB ports correspond to USB 3.1 Gen 2 standard.
- USB Type C (USB-C) cables can be connected either way to USB-C ports.
- A DVI-HDMI cable is needed to connect a DVI-D display to an HDMI output on a laptop.
- To connect multiple Full HD displays, all displays can be connected to a DisplayPort.
Device Connections
- To maximize the speed of USB 3.0 devices on a system with limited USB 3.1 ports, relocate devices to available USB 2.0 ports to free up bandwidth.
- Use a FireWire 400 to 800 bilingual cable for connecting FireWire 400 devices to FireWire 800 ports.
- FireWire 800 ports offer faster speeds than USB 2.0 ports.
- A System Report on a MacBook displays information on connected USB devices.
Additional Device Considerations
- Determine if a client’s computer has a FireWire port before connecting a DV camcorder.
- Typical portable drives for MacBooks can connect to Windows PCs using USB 3.0.
- USB Type C connectors on newer MacBook Pros also support Thunderbolt 3 functionality.
