CompTIA A+ Core 1: Cable Types and Connectors

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Although our connected world is very good at dispensing with physical connections, we still require cables and connectors for certain computing tasks. In this course, explore cable types and connectors, beginning with ethernet cables, STP vs. UTP, optical fiber, speed and transmission considerations, T568A/T568B wiring, and video and USB cables. Next, learn about peripheral serial cables, hard disk drive (HDD) cables, common adapter types, and RJ11 and RJ45 connectors. Finally, examine USB and fiber optic connectors, punch down blocks, DB9, lightning ports, F connectors, and Molex connectors. This course is one of a collection that prepares learners for the CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201) exam.
