Fun Fact
Unlike simple shielded cables transmitting low-frequency signals, these cables offer superior transmission and reception capabilities, conducting alternating currents of radio frequency (RF) for high frequency transmission. BNC cables are often referred to as these cables in A/V settings.
Coaxial
This cable replace the USB-Mini as the typical choice used to charge phones (among other less mainstream devices) but was eventually made obsolete by the USB-C cable for it's higher transmission rate and reversability
Micro USB
This cable designed by Neutrik is used to power lighting systems and some audio consoles
Powercon
This cable only has never been married, despite being used with most electronic devices. It's cousin the AUX, however, will always have a ring
1/8" TS Cable
The sport this category is named after
Bowling
This 3-pin cable is used to connect stereo applications, unlike it's way more popular brother that is used for mono signals. Instead of running hot and cold conductors with differing signals to cancel out noise, these cables run the same signal through both to allow for stereo connections to, say, stereo microphones.
Stereo XLR
This cable was used to connect printers, monitors, and mice to computers, but was eventually replaced by USB
DB-9
I could speak on and on about these cables that are often used by Live Audio to transmit audio from amplifiers to passive speakers
SpeakON
A cable created by the Radio Corporation of America that specifically transmits analog audio and sometimes video, depending on if there is a yellow one.
Daily Double
True or False?
Doesn't matter, have some points :3
This cable type can have anywhere from 4 to 9 pins, but the 5 pin version is often called a MIDI cable
Din #
This video cable was used to transmit analog video signals into visual monitors, and was eventually replaced with HDMI and DisplayPort for their higher quality and audio capabilities
VGA
Extremely versatile, this 3-pin cable connector is used to change the head of audio, power, and/or sensor data cables with only a screwdriver.
(Typically only used on one end of a cable as needed)
Phoenix-3 or Terminal Block
We call it the patchbay cable, but what is its technical name?
Bantam TT Cable
This local restaurant offers a 2 meat, 2 sauce, 2 rice, 1 salad deal for $14.29
Mo Bettah's
These terms refer to a cable that would be more or less prone to noise interference. Less prone cable examples would be mono XLR or 1/4" TRS, and more prone would be any TS, RCA, or an 1/8" TRS
Balanced (less prone)/Unbalanced (more prone)
This cable was commonly used on video monitors, printers, and sometimes pc hard drives, but they fell out of style when USB-C showed greater versatility and capabilities
USB-B
With a similar look to a MIDI cable, this 5-pin xlr-like is one of the main connectors from a lighting console to a fixture
DMX512
This coaxial cable's main feature is that it can transmit high frequency signals with minimal loss, up to ~3GHz in both digital and analog format.
Oh, and also lock into its device connections.
BNC
Average Cost of Rent in Idaho
$1,738 per month
Unlike traditional copper cables, which rely on electrical signals, these cables transmit audio data via light pulses through a thin, glass, fiber optic core which ensures digital audio quality over long distances.
S/PDIF Optical Cables
A cable made by Apple that can transmit digital signals at up to 800Mbps, and can be daisy-chained for up to 63 devices to communicate at once
Was eventually replaced by USB-C and/or Thunderbolt connectors
FireWire
These audio connectors are sometimes used instead of 1/4" or 1/8" for their secure way of using "leaves" to connect to devices.
Banana Plugs
Created by Sony/Philips to deliver pristine audio, but can only transmit Digital signals
S/PDIF RCA
