Episode 41: Peripheral and Video Cables — HDMI, VGA, DVI

This episode focuses on the common video and peripheral cables that A Plus candidates must be able to identify, differentiate, and troubleshoot. We begin with HDMI, explaining its support for audio and video signals, cable types, and compatibility with newer standards like DisplayPort. From there, we move into VGA—a legacy analog connector still present in older systems—and explore its limitations in resolution and signal degradation.Next, we break down DVI, a transitional digital standard with both analog and digital variants, and explain how to distinguish DVII from DVID visually and functionally. These cables often appear in exam scenarios involving mismatched display settings or resolution issues. Knowing which cable supports what type of signal is essential for success, especially in troubleshooting or device setup contexts. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com.
