CONNECTIVITY

The function of these cables is to connect to computers and resources with the maximum efficiency and speed. Also, they allow us to connect different devices together and transfer data between them as well.

There are three types of cabling:

COAXIAL:

The maximun length of a segment is 200m, and it can transfer data up to 100mb.

ETHERNET:

there are different types of Ethernet cables:

Unshielded: they are cheaper and not as fast as the shielded cables

Shielded: They have a higher production cost and they take longer to produce, however, they are faster and more effective as they don't experience phase distortion.

the Ethernet maximum distance rate without amplifying is 100m.

FIBRE OPTIC

They are the fastest cables nowadays, they can transfer data up to 100gb, and they can go over for 2km without amplifying. Also, they don't face interference. Therefore, they are really expensive.

THE PROCESSOR The function of the processor The processor is a chip that controls all the computer instructions by interpreting them as a binary code. The control circuitry pulls data in via the various ports, directs it along data buses,stores it in the memories and performs the calculations Its roles Performing calculations: the calculations are made by components in the cpu using binary code. Data manipulation: The cpu can receive data from input devices, store the instructions and send data back to output devices Decision making Performance features Clock speed: Is the speed at which the microprocessor executes instructions Cores: It is the processing unit. For example, having two cores, multiply the processing power of the cpu by two. Cache Is a small and fast memory, situated close to the cpu to accelerate the processor performance by storing copies of the most fre...

POWER SUPPLY FUNCTION: This internal hardware component supplies electric power to the computer by transforming Alternating Current (AC) into Direct Current (DC) and decrease the voltage into three different outputs: 12v, 5v and 3.3v. Each voltage are dedicated to different elements of the computer RATING: The power is measured in Watts, higher the need; components such as hard drives and cards, higher the power needed. CONNECTOR TYPES The most common is the Molex connector, although it's a bit old nowadays and we have more modern connections as SATA

PERIPHERALS They are auxiliary devices that add functionality to a computer, they can be: Input devices. They gather information and send it back to the CPU as binary code. keyboards: are Input devices with different inputs buttons that represent each letter, number and sign. It transforms the binary code into characters. Mice : It helps you to interact with the interface by moving an object with a laser tracker that puts those tracking points into a vector position on the computer. Scanner: this device use optical sensors to transform a hard copy into a digital image. Output devices. T hey do the reverse operation; transforming code into something that everybody can understand. Screens: They transform the code from the computer into pixels, displaying videos, images and text. they can have different connections : VGA, HDMI, DVI... Speakers: These devices receive information from the sound car...
