Ribbon cables in a computer are mostly used for carrying data between devices. Sometimes they are used to carry supply voltages as well, but since they are usually lightweight, they are more commonly used for carrying data and control signals. The most common use is for floppy drives and hard drives. However, they can be used for connecting between different circuit boards, such as a mezzanine card - a type of controller card that has two circuit boards. There were also likely used in older mainframe computers since they contained so many circuit boards. On older Apple computers, they were sometimes used as printer cables too.
it is very kkoolll
The CD ROM connects to the computer via a ribbon cable.
it is to use to connect devices to the computer
What is the pin number for the ribbon cable?
The red stripe on the ribbon cable indicates pin #1. Usually, pin #1 on the device is the one closest to the power connector.
Data path is more in 80 ribbon cable.. The data transaction is faster than 40 ribbon cable..
That a cable with a primary function to the computer working properly is loose, thus impairing the computer's ability to work properly.
A ribbon cable can carry information in either direction, either in or out.
To provide power to the computer from a power source.
The correct answer is....80-conductor IDE ribbon cable.
A 34-pin ribbon cable will connect a floppy drive.A 40 (or 80) conductor ribbon cable is for (E)IDE devices.Other ribbon cables may be used (80 conductor for SCSI, and in older systems, MFM and RLL Hard drives).A smaller ribbon cable (10 conductors) may be used for USB Headers.I think that covers most of them.
