Speaker cable can be used bare or with pin, banana, spade or ring terminals.
The most common connectors for coaxial cables are F-type and BNC.
The most popular connectors found these days on the ends of network cables are commonly called RJ45 connectors.
The connector used to terminate Ethernet cables is called an RJ-45 connector. They are the clear plastic connectors you see at either end of an Ethernet cable.
The power connectors used by both 5.25-inch and 3.5-inch floppy drives are 4-pin connectors. The larger connector--used by 5.25-inch drives--is called a Molex or peripheral cable. This type of cable is also used by IDE/ATA hard drives and optical drives. The smaller 4-pin cable used by 3.5-inch floppy drives is generally called a floppy power cable.
It's the definition of the CAT 5 cable connections for LAN wiring. RJ45 connectors look much like telephone connectors but can connect 8 wires as opposed to the 4 pin telephone connectors. See the link below for technical information.
There are various connectors used for speaker cable. The most popular ones are either banana plugs or spades. If your equipment uses binding posts then you can usually interchange these. Less popular, but still found on some equipment are BFA plugs. We at Black Rhodium though recommend that you use Z plugs, as quite simply, we feel they sound better. These can also be used as banana plugs.
The commonly used fiber optic connector isFC, LC, LT, SC, MTRJ, MU FDDI - ESCON Fiber optic connector and so on.
10base-T uses for twister pair cable which speed 10mbps.
BNC connector
P8 and P9 power connectors
Gold is used in electronics for connectors. The only gold in a cable will be the thin plating on the connecting pins of the connector itself. It is used because gold does not corrode and therefore does not suffer from poor connections due to oxidization of the connector surface. The total amount of gold will be measured in milligrams.
Speaker cable is used to connect the speaker outputs on audio devices such as a receiver or amplifier to the inputs on the speaker(s).
