AnswerA standard floppy drive cable in a computer has 34 pins.
40, 80
2 drives per ide cable
3 types of ribbon cables found in a PC are, a 34-pin floppy drive cable with twist, a 40-pin IDE cable with 40 wires, and a 40-pin IDE cable with 80 fine wires(80 conductor cable)A floppy drive cable, an IDE cable, and a CD or DVD drive cable
40 pins
80
Under parallel ata, two types of ribbon cable are used. The 80-conductor ide cable has 40 pins and 80 wires Forty wires are used for communication and data, and an additional 40 ground wires reduce crosstalk on the cable. An older 40-conducror cable has 40 wires and 40 pins. the two types of cables are PATA and IDE cables which come in a 80-conductor IDE cable and a 40-conductor cable
Usually two cables total. Such as the SATA Cable and the power cable. As for how many wires are in those cables, it would depends on the connection. Such as IDE have 40 wires. Power cables are usually four pin. It all depends.
The enhanced IDE cable connects to your hard drive. It allows more information flow than a standard IDE cable.
Floppy Ribbon : The floppy cable has 34 wires. There are normally five connectors on the floppy interface cable, although sometimes there are only three. These are grouped into three "sets"; a single connector plus two pairs of two each (for a standard, five-connector cable) or three single connectors. IDE Ribbon : IDE cables consist of either 40 individual wires or 80 individual wires. Ultra ATA/66 or later devices need the 80 wire cables to operate efficiently. Most of these wires are used to transfer data between the motherboard and the drives.
IDE is a connection standard in computing. The pins refer to the ends of the cable used to connect devices (usually hard drives).
One can purchase an IDE cable at many different stores. There are stores such as Radio Shack and Best Buy that have many different cables, including IDE cables.
