How to Choose Best Adapters and Connectors for
your Computer A computer connector is a
device that is used for connecting two
devices and is part of the cord that is plugged
into a port for connecting one device to
another. Also known as I/O connectors (short
for input output connectors) in IT world,
they usually come with pins or plugs that
are plugged into a socket for making connection.
These pins or plugs are usually fixed with
the corresponding electric wires that form the
cable. Connectors can be of many types, such
as Monitor Connectors - HD15 15 pins in three
rows ( used for PC's SVGA video cards and
monitor cables) and DB15 15 pins in two rows (
used for MAC monitors). Other PC/Mac
connectors- Parallel/Printer Cable - CN36
(female, male), DB25 (female, male), HPCN36
male, MINIDIN- 8 (female) Serial Mac
connector. Serial Computer Cable - DB25 serial
connector, DB9 serial connectors.
USB and Firewire Connectors - "i.Link" connector,
"Firewire" connector, USB type "A" and type
"B" connector, Mini USB and

A computer adapter on the other hand is a
device that enable one electronic or hardware
interface to be modified (or made compatible) in
to another electronic or hardware interface.
In computers, the adapters usually take the
form of a card that is slid in to a slot on the
motherboard of the computer. The information
that is exchanged between the devices that the
card supports and the microprocessor of the
computer is then adapted by the card. Thus,
with adapters, computers gain additional
functionality or compatibility. For example,
video adapter provides the computer the
capability to display video on its monitor.
Similarly network adapters are the network
cards which allow computers to connect to a
network. The peripherals of almost all PCs today
use adapters to communicate, like USB adapters
for keyboards, printers etc., Display
adapters for monitors, and network adapters for
connecting to a network. In today's era of
advance technology and information science,
where computers and similar devices have become
the focal point for running any tool or
machine, both computer connectors and adapters
play an important role in making sure that
these equipment work without unwanted
intermissions. That is why while buying them,
certain factors should be considered like
availability, durability and adaptability.
