We are gathering and investigating information about interfaces of modern and obsolete electronic hardware: pinouts of interface ports, layouts of expansion slots, information about other connectors of computers and various electronic devices. Information on functions of pins in connector (pinout) is essential for everyone who want to investigate modern computer hardware, explore the way it's works, connect various devices to computer, make DIY electronic devices.
Our handbook features 2802 documents with:
- Pinouts of computer hardware components, internal connectors, buses and input/output ports (i.e. PC Serial port pinout, PCI Bus ).
- Pinouts and brief information about some common computer hardware interfaces like RS232 interface, USB pinout, SATA connector and many others.
- Pinouts of audio/video connectors - S-Video connector or VGA connector pinout
- Pinouts of cellular phones, consumer audio/video hardware and over devices - Nokia Pop po rt pinout or Apple iPod, iPhone, iPad Dock connector
- Schemes of cables and converters for computer peripherals and other devices (USB to RS232 serial converter schematic and others)
- Layout and numbering scheme of common and device-specific connectors
- Some practical aspect of pinouts applications - i.e. How to wire the RJ45 connection ethernet network cable
In data center topologies, right cabling is a time-consuming endeavor and is error prone. Prescriptive Topology Manager (PTM) is a dynamic cabling verification tool to help detect and eliminate such errors. It takes a graphviz-DOT specified network cabling plan (something many operators already generate), stored in a topology.dot file, and couples it with runtime information derived from LLDP to verify that the cabling matches the specification. The check is performed on every link transition on each node in the network. It also detects forwarding path failures using Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD).
You can customize the topology.dot file to control ptmd at both the global/network level and the node/port level.
PTM runs as a daemon, named ptmd.
Star Wars fans with a cable clutter problem might want to check out this DIY cable management holder. It is made of wood and you need to assemble it yourself. And each joint activity is available, make all kinds of POSE you like. Aside from making your living room look incredibly cool, you’ll also have something nice to talk about when your other friends come over for a cup of coffee.
