Connectivity Propellers That Make Your Computers
Work The human brain is connected with
different organs like eyes, nose, ears, etc.
through neurons. As the organs sense different
activities, the message is further carried to the
brain while the brain interprets these impulses
and acts accordingly. The computer network in
this 21st century with a high level of increased
usage, functions very similar to the human body.
The similarity persists in the ways it is
networked. The brain is the central processing
unit (CPU) of the human body and the
network of neurons connects it with the different
organs. It is quite astonishing to know how
neurons create a network of impulses in the
human body. But how does a computer
network connect with the devices? It certainly
does not create its network using neurons.
So what creates a computer network?
How are different devices plugged
into the computers? The answer is using
Universal Serial Bus(USB) Cable, Fiber Optics
Cable, Networking Cable. These are the
connectors
which are used for connecting various
external devices with a
2
computer for data transfer and for creating
a vast network spread across the oceans. USB
Cables/Adapters Designed basically for
standardization of computer connection
peripherals, for supplying electricity and for
communication which replaced the large variety of
earlier interfaces of the likes of serial ports
and parallel ports and separate power
cables for portable devices. The USB Cables
and Adapters are the highly demanded
accessories when the world has been through
the smartphone boost. File transfer, charging,
portability are the few of the uses of USB. It is
supposed to be universal connector,
has many variants in accordance with the
functions. Type-A, Type-B, Mini USB, Micro
USB, Type-C are the different variants available
in the market. Fiber Optics Cable Optical Fiber
Cable uses pulses of light to transfer data
using the phenomenon of Total internal
reflection. The cable is coated with plastic and
it protects the cable from exposure to
heat, cold and other weather atrocities,
electromagnetic interference and
ultraviolet rays of sun. These cables are the
most reliable and fastest data transfer cables on
the planet. OFC are used to connect and
transfer data across continents. They are fast
which can carry large capacity, the signals

have higher strength and require least
maintenance. The most reliable and powerful
connectivity propeller is an optical Fiber
cable. It has varied applications
like internet connectivity, telephone
systems, cable TV, stereo system etc. Networking
Cables Wireless connectivity are thriving but
many computer networks still rely on physical
cables to transfer data. Coaxial cables-the
ones introduced the earliest for connecting TV
sets with antenna is also a standard for 10MBPS
Ethernet cable. The upgradation from
10MBPS to 100MBPS ethernet cables
introduced the twisted pair cables. Its
two primary types are unshielded twisted
pair (UTP), shielded twisted pair
(STP). Crossover cables have the purpose of
connecting more than one devices at the same
time such computers or network switches. All
these cables and adapters are the lifelines of
the modern world and keep the world networked and
connected together.
