Floppy connectors are used to transfer data between a floppy drive and a computer via motherboard, in order to use a floppy disk.
They are very similar to IDE cables, but are a little smaller, and are exclusively for floppy drives.

What is fdd port?
FDD is an acronym for Floppy Disk Drive. For a short time, external floppy drives were available with special-purpose connectors. This was quickly superseded by USB ports.
Disk drive and floppy drive connectors function?

Explain how the two available drives on FDD data cable are distinguished?
Floppy data cable is 34 pin flat cable having two connectors for floppy drive. The floppy drive connected at the end connector is A: and the another connector disk is B:..
How can you tell that a particular ribbon cable should only be used to connect a floppy drive?
The connectors on the ends of the cable are a different size than the connectors for a standard IDE device like a Hard Drive or CD rom. You should also notice that there is a twist in the cable between two of the connectors.
What sort of power connector does a floppy disk drive typically use?
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.
Which type of cable connection comes in 4 pin and 6 pin?
Molex and floppy drive power connectors have 4 pins. Also PCI-E and CPU power connectors have 4-8 pins.
Can you plug in more than two devices on one IDE plug If not then why would you have an IDE cable with 5 connectors?
1. No.2. You probably don't. Many older floppy cables had several connectors on them to facilitate connecting two drives, with one of two possible connectors.
What is the function of connectors?
The connectors are those things that exotic
Is hard disk install with floppy cable?
Not in a computer that featured a floppy drive as standard. Computers with floppy drives (4 years old or older) used 34-pin connectors for the floppies and 40-pin (PATA or IDE) cables for the hard drives. Modern computers use Serial ATA, and some SATA floppy drives are available, but they are not common.
What is the function of a plastic flap of a floppy disk?
The purpose of the plastic (or metal) shutter on a floppy disk is to keep dirt off of the magnetic medium when it is not being read.
What type of power connector does a floppy disk use?
It varies. There's no universally adopted external floppy disk drive standard, so it depends on the type of drive and/or computer you have. Modern (2008) external floppy drives commonly use USB (Universal Serial Bus). This isn't really a "floppy drive connector"; it's just an ordinary USB connector. The drive unit itself contains the electronics to make the floppy drive work with USB computers. The original IBM-PC line (circa 1981) included an external floppy drive option, which used a 37-pin D-shell sub-miniature connector. These weren't all that common to begin with, and are extremely rare these days. The early Macintosh computers (circa 1984) included an external floppy drive port, which used a 19-pin D-shell sub-miniature connector. SCSI floppy disk drives exist, but were always fairly rare. Some manufacturers introduced external floppy drives with manufacturers-specific (non-standard) connectors. Generally, you had to use the manufacturer's expansion card and floppy drive together. Some manufacturer external floppy connectors were mechanically compatible with the 25-pin D-shell sub-miniature parallel port connector. This allowed the same computer port to be used for either printer or floppy. However, parallel and floppy are not electrically compatible, so only a computer specifically designed for this would work. Dell used it in some of their laptops (Latitude C series, for example).
