CABLES AND CONNECTORS

NOTE

Refer to other SMART products' specifications to see if they support this type of connection.

When selecting RS-232 cables, make sure the cable is not a "null" modem cable. Unless they are

specifically required, null modem cables should not be used except when troubleshooting

connections.

Null modem cables can be identified by the word "null" stamped on them. Null modem cables are

also characterized with a crossover of the transmitter and receiver pins.

NOTE

See Cable best practices on page 40 for general guidelines.

Refer to Appendix A: Third-party referrals on page 69 for a list of companies that sell this type of

equipment.

DVI cables and connectors

Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a video display interface used to

connect a video source (such as a computer) and a display device

(such as a monitor). DVI was designed as a digital replacement for

the analog VGA connection.

If only one end of a connection uses DVI, you can use an adapter

or converter to make the connections compatible. See Cable

adapters and converters on page 61 for more information.

The two most common versions of DVI connections are shown below.

DVI-D (dual link)
