Arcacia Godfrey 1/19/15 Unit 4 Assignment 1 Port Expanders A Port Expander is a computer hardware that allows more than one device to connect to a single port on a computer. The commodore VIC-20 used a port expander to allow more than one cartridge to be connected to the single ROM cartridge. There are fourteen different types of port available on the expander hardware. * DB-25 Port Expander * Fire wire Port Expander * Serial Port Expander * USB Port Expander * VGA Port

PORT EXPANDER In this research paper I will give a brief description along with an in-depth understanding of port expanders. For starters, it’s best to have some sort of mental picture of what a port expander actually looks like. Take for example, an external hard drive that has a USB 2.0 male port cord coming from it, now remove the external hard drive end from the cord and replace it with a 4-in-1 USB 2.0 female port end. What you’re left with in the end is a cord similar to Fig. 1-1 located

Port Expander A port expander essentially allows one to become two. What I mean by that is it allows more than one device to connect to a single port. Expanders are equivalent to splitters or extension cords in everyday life. They are usually inside the computer on the motherboard, with the only visible part of it being the extension plate showing multiple ports. Some example of the type of ports that we’ve covered and that I’m familiar with are: Ethernet Port Firewire Port Serial Port

In this research paper I will be addressing the different types of ports available on expander hardware. I will also talk about whether port expanders are made for specific types of computers, or if they are generic devices that will work with any computer. I will also discuss the possible advantages and disadvantages of using a port expander The first question what is a port extender? Well a port extender is a hardware device designed to allow a user to utilize more than one device on a single

Lab 5.1 Connect the Internetwork Lab Review Questions 1. For what purpose is a transceiver used? A transceiver can be used for converting one type of Ethernet connector to another or by converting one type of I/O port to an Ethernet port. 2. This lab connects routers directly to each other via serial cables. Is this a typical configuration? No, By default, Cisco routers are DTE (Data Terminal Equipment)/ DCE (Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment) If not, to what equipment does the DCE end of the

A port expander is a device that allows one port on a computer system to connect to multiple devices. There are two forms of port expanders: internal and external. An internal expander has a connection inside the computer, typically on the motherboard and the only part the user sees is the expansion plate that contains multiple ports. As for an external device, it plugs into the existing port and then has multiple places to connect. The most common versions are used for USB and Ethernet ports. There
