Media Devices: Connectors CTEC1465/2018S Computer System Support Learning Objective • Identify all the connectors and devices on a typical PC system unit CTEC1465/2015F MEDIA... CONNECTORS Connectors • A plug is a part with some type of projection that goes into a port. • A port is a part that has some type of matching hole or slot that accepts the plug. • You never put a port into a plug; it’s always the other way around. • The term jack is used as an alternative to port, so you may also put a plug into a jack. • The term connector describes either a port (jack) or a plug.
