Connection Type: PS/2
Given below are some key points of PS/2 connection:
It is used to connect Input devices. Keyboard and Mouse are the devices that
mostly used PS/2 port
PS/2 has become less common among modern computers.
PS/2 Cable PS/2 Port
Connection Type: USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2 TYPE A
Given below are some key points of USB 2 type A connection:
USB 2.0 Type A is commonly used for connecting various peripherals, such as
printers, external hard drives, and other devices, to a computer.
USB 2 Type A transfer data upto speed of 480 mb/s.
USB a ports are found on almost every modern computer like devices.

Connection Type: USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2 TYPE B
Given below are some key points of USB 2 type B connection:
USB 2.0 Type A is commonly used for connecting various peripherals, such as
printers, external hard drives, and other devices, to a computer.
Mostly used to connect devices like printers and scanners.
USB 2 type B square-shaped Type-B connector, different from the more common
Type-A ie rectangular-shaped connector.
supports data transfer upto 480 mbps.

Connection Type: Lightening.
Given below are some key points of lightening connection:
Lightining connector is used in Apple devices, it is used for iphone, ipads, ipods,
and some other Apple devices.
Supports both data transfer and power delivery for charging.
Many Lightning cables come with an authentication chip, providing an additional
security to in data transfer.

Connection Type: FireWire.
Given below are some key points of FireWire connection:
It is used for transfering Data as well as power to some devices.
FireWire can support speed upto 800 Mbps
FireWire used to be popular, but it's mostly replaced by USB and Thunderbolt as
these newer interfaces are faster and more widely supported.
FireWire Cable. FireWire port
Connection Type: Parallel port.
Given below are some key points of ParallelPort connection:
Parallel ports were mainly used to link computers with printers, scanners, and
various other devices.
The connector for parallel ports usually had 25 pins and was a big, rectangular port
on the back of the computer.
Parallel ports were okay for printers and certain devices, but they were slower and
less versatile compared to newer interfaces.
Parallel port
Parallel cable
Connection Type: Serial port.
Given below are some key points of SerialPort connection:
Serial ports were used for connecting a variety of peripherals, such as mice,
keyboards, modems, and early printers.
Sends data one bit at a time, using a single wire or pair of wires, unlike parallel ports
which transmit multiple bits simultaneously.
Serial ports aren't very common in today's computers, but they still have uses in
certain industries, sciences, and networks.
Serial Cable Serial Port
Connection Type: Ethernet port.
Given below are some key points of Ethernet connection:
Ethernet ports help devices connect with each other using wires for sharing
information in local networks.
The connector for Ethernet ports is typically an RJ45 connector, which resembles a
larger version of a telephone jack.
Ethernet ports can support different data transfer speeds, such as 10/100/1000 Mbps
(megabits per second) or even higher for Gigabit Ethernet and beyond.

Connection Type: Audio port.
Given below are some key points of Audio connection:
An audio connection is used to connect audio devices like headphones,
microphones, or speakers to transfer audio signals.
Allows you to record sound using connected microphones or other input devices.
It's used in different situations, from enjoying music on phones to recording audio
professionally.
Audio cable

Connection Type: SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment)
Given below are some key points of SATA connection:
SATA is used to connect hard drives and SSDs to a computer for storing data.
SATA connectors not only transfer data but also supply power to connected storage
devices.
Modern motherboards and storage devices commonly have SATA connectors,
ensuring they work together easily and are compatible.

SATA cable
Connection Type: PATA (Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment)
Given below are some key points of PATA connection:
PATA is an older way of linking storage devices, such as hard drives and optical
drives, to a computer's motherboard.
PATA uses a parallel data transfer method, sending multiple bits simultaneously.
PATA connectors are wider and typically use flat ribbon cables compared to the
smaller and more streamlined connectors used in SATA.
PATA cable
PATA port
Connection Type: eSATA (External Serial Advanced Technology Attachment)
Given below are some key points of eSATA connection:
eSATA is an external interface used for connecting external storage devices, such as
hard drives, to a computer.
It provides a high-speed and reliable connection for external storage applications.
eSATA ports are found on some computers and external storage devices.
