We accept the following Wire and cable types for recycling.

• VGA (Video Graphics Array)
• DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
• HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
• USB (Universal Serial Bus)
• IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics)
• SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment)
• eSATA (External Serial Advanced Technology Attachment)
• FireWire
• Ethernet
• Cat 5 cables are the most basic type and provide speeds of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
• Cat 5e, which means Cat 5 Enhanced, allows for faster data transmission than its predecessor. It caps at 1,000 Mbps.
• Cat 6 is the latest and offers the best performance of the three. It’s capable of supporting 10 Gbps speeds.
• Fiber Optic cable
• Coaxial cable
• Patch cable
• Ethernet (crossover) cable
• Power lines
• Audio Cables and Connectors
• Video Cables
• S-Video
• All types of Christmas tree lights LED and classic style (no need to remove the light bulbs)

With technology rapidly evolving there are new cables types being released every year. From old to new computer you will find the following cables types.

The most popular monitor cable back in the 1990’s are the well known VGA connection which connects a computer to a monitor. More recently, it has faded out of popularity due to the gradual shift towards digital connections over analog. Still, if you look on any video card or display apparatus, there is a good chance you’ll see a VGA port.

VGA connections can be identified by 3 row 15 pins connector. Each row corresponds to the 3 different color channels used in display: red, green, and blue.
Second on the list DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

The DVI connection replaced the popular VGA as technology moved away from analog towards digital. Digital displays, like LCD, LED, proved to be higher quality, which soon became the market standard for home pictures. DVI connectors come in 3 versions,
DVI-A can transmit analog signals, allowing it to be backwards compatible with VGA (useful for outdated CRT monitors and LCDs of lower quality).
DVI-D can transmit the newer popular style digital signals.
DVI-I is capable of both analog and digital style signals

In the past decade, high-definition broadcasts became the new standard of what it means to be high quality. Unlike VGA and DVI, HDMI sends both video and audio signals together. The signals are digital only; thus, HDMI is only compatible with newer devices such as LED.

HDMI connectors come in 4 types:
Type A is the most popular. This connector can be identified by its 19 pins on the male head. Type A is compatible with single-link DVI-D connections.
Type B is larger than Type A, coming in at 29 pins on the male head. Type B is compatible with dual-link DVI-D connections.
Type C is a 19-pin connector that’s most often used with portable devices, like camcorders and digital cameras.
Type D looks similar to a micro-USB cord. It also has 19 pins.
USB (Universal Serial Bus)

cable types usb What Are The Different Computer Cable Types You Should Know As A User?
From left to right: micro USB, mini USB, type B standard USB, and type A standard USB (both female and male).

The USB connection is quite possibly the most pervasive connection type in today’s world. Nearly every form of computer peripheral devices such as keyboards, mice, headsets, flash drives, wireless adapters, etc.use USB technology. The design has evolved over the years, which means there are multiple versions of USB cables available including USB 1.0, USB 1.0 and USB 3.0.

IDE cables were used to connect storage devices to a motherboard. If you’ve ever opened up a an old hard drive then you likely know what an IDE connector looks like. It’s the wide cable that looks like a ribbon with more than 2 plugs.
The connectors on an IDE cable have 40 pins; the smaller 2.5” drive variety uses a form-factor version of the IDE that has 44 pins.
SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment)

cable types sata What Are The Different Computer Cable Types You Should Know As A User?
Newer hard drives will likely use SATA ports over IDE ports. In fact, SATA was designed to succeed IDE, and it has. Compared to IDE, SATA provides higher data transfer speeds. Your motherboard needs to be compatible with SATA, and nowadays most of them are.
A SATA cable can be identified by two connectors where each has 8 pins.

eSATA technology is an extension of, or improvement on, the SATA cable — it makes SATA technology available in an external form. In reality, eSATA is not much different from SATA, but it allows connections to devices like external hard drives and optical drives. This is useful because eSATA offers speeds much faster than most FireWire and USB alternatives.

The purpose of FireWire is similar to that of USB: high speed data transfer for computer peripherals. High bandwidth devices, like printers and scanners, will benefit from FireWire. For whatever reason, FireWire is not as widespread as USB. FireWire cables come in two forms: 1394a (which has a transfer speed of 400 Mbps) and 1394b (which has a transfer speed of 800 Mbps).

Ethernet cables are used to set up local area networks. In most cases, they’re used to connect routers to modems and computers. If you’ve ever tried to install or fix a home router, you’ve likely dealt with an Ethernet computer cable. Nowadays, they come in three varieties:

Cat 5 cables are the most basic type and provide speeds of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps depending on the configuration.
Cat 5e, which means Cat 5 Enhanced, allows for faster data transmission than its predecessor. It caps at 1,000 Mbps.
Cat 6 is the latest and offers the best performance of the three. It’s capable of supporting 10 Gbps speeds.
