The following information was released by the National Association for Amateur Radio (ARRL):

Every station is home to hordes of connectors — at the wall socket, the computer, the test equipment and”oh, yes”the radio! if you are just getting started, be prepared to learn a lot more about connectors and connections than you ever expected. here are few questions that will spark your interest!

1) which type of USB connector is most likely to be on the end of the cable that connects to your computer?

d. I didn’t know cables had sidebands!

2) which part of a cable connector protects the connections between the cable wires and connector pins?

3) which coaxial connector style is used at microwave frequencies?

4) which type of connector is used for Ethernet networking connections?

5) which type of connector is also known as a “phono” connector?

6) what are the three circuit connections of a stereo phone plug?

a. Center, shield, jacket

b. Phase 1, phase 2, neutral

c. Hot, neutral, ground

7) which way should a wire wrap around a screw terminal?

a. Don’t wrap the wire at all

d. Either direction works equally well

which type of crimp terminal is often called a “quick disconnect”?

9) when installing a PL-259 coaxial connector, what part must go on the cable first?

10) which connector changes a transmission line from coaxial cable to waveguide?

Bonus question : Bare wire ends are named for what animal part?

1) a — the flat connector is a Type A, while the square connector on most accessories is a Type B.

2) c — A backshell holds the cable steady within the connector to prevent flexing and stress on the wire-to-pin/socket connection.

3) b — the SMA miniature threaded connector can be used to nearly 20 GHz.

4) a — Modular connectors are used for telephone wiring, as well.

5) b — this designation derives from the Radio Corporation of America’s use of the connector for phonograph connections in the 1940s.

6) d — also referred to as “TRS” connectors, these were originally used in telephone switchboards.

7) b – Clockwise, so that the tightening of the screw will pull the wire around its threads instead of pushing it out from under the head. A single half-turn is sufficient; more turns prevent the screw from fully seating.

a — Spade terminals are held together by friction.

9) b — the backshell will not fit over the body of the connector. Every ham forgets this step at least once!

10) a — These are some very interesting structures, converting electromagnetic waves from one media to another very efficiently.

Bonus answer : Pigtails!

If I need to scan something do I need a certain "2-way" USB cable?

They are all the same.

This camera was a Christmas gift and the box along with everything in it but the camera accidentally got thrown out with other trash. I checked canon's website and can download the manual, but it doesn't look like they sell replacements for the other things. they are closed on weekends so thought I'd see if anyone had any ideas before I call on Monday. Thanks!

I just bought a Targus USB optical mouse with a retractable cable. I have an optical mouse pad with different colors and ridges on it.

Before, I had a wireless optical mouse, and when I used it, occasionally when I moved the mouse, it wouldn't respond until I moved it really fast to "wake it up." I always thought this was because it was wireless and it had trouble sending the message to its signal.

But I am seeing this same behavior with my new mouse. even stranger, it seems to work better with a regular old-style cloth mousepad. it doesn't make sense to me that I'm having a problem with an optical mouse on an optical pad. Does anyone know what is going on?

If I had a 2 computers side by side but connect the usb cable to one of them then supposedly keep unrolling the usb cable till it goes around the world and connects to the computer next to the first one. Will it be instantaneous?

Just a random question (:

it would depend on your usb output transfer speed of your one laptop and the input transfer speed of the other but the actual data from when it left your laptop to when it got to your other laptop i have no idea i guess it would all depend on your usb cable but it wouldn't be the speed of light it would be something like ten seconds

In theory it should be instantaneous, as electricity travels at the speed of light, 186,000 miles per second. But in practice it doesn't happen that way.

3×10(^8) metres/second?

random guess:L

Holy USB cable Batman, that would be very expensive!

it may take 10sec

Have you ever gave any thought, what a practical and cost of a printer cable or USB cable is really universal? Without this cable into your computer to external devices such as digital camera or iPod, many of the technological tools we use have a limited value in relation to connect.

[b]Printer Cable [/b]

an often overlooked feature of the USB cable is compatible with different operating systems. cables universal of all systems that support today. only Old systems may deviate from this norm.

although modern Windows systems, some devices require minimal configuration or install drivers to allow the computer to introduce. is available to any USB printer, desktop, laptop, or, and eliminates the need for additional power.

for this reason, the reduced cost of external accessories and other peripherals can be connected simultaneously to the maximum bandwidth.

A converter> Cable allows a USB printer port and allows you to connect high-speed data, well beyond the speed of a typical printer's parallel port.

Need a printer cable to connect peripheral devices to work with certain ports. to convert the signal from the USB printer cable to a parallel port, a special converter cable can be purchased. Sabrent is a model that communicates with PC and Mac desktop or notebook.

A cable converterenables a parallel printer to the USB port can be connected to, allowing for fast transfer of data, far beyond the typical speed of a printer port. This reduces the time to finish a job, putting the fastest printer.

A ten U.S. dollars universal basic cable is adequate for most jobs, however. A typical example would be a universal extension with 2.0 transfer rate up to 480 megabytes per second. This is commonly seen six-foot unitsColours, performed by the computer to the printer and the hard disk to the printer, depending on the application.
