Fiber — Single-mode or multimode fiber cables.

EGA — The Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) is an old analog graphics standard, introduced by IBM® in 1984. It uses a DB9 connector.

OSD — An OSD (on-screen display) is used to display information or to operate a device.

Quad-Head — A system with four video connections.

RCA (Cinch) — A non-standardized plug connection that transmits electrical audio and video signals, especially with coaxial cables.

SFP — SFPs (Small Form Factor Pluggables) are pluggable interface modules for Gigabit connections. SFP modules are available for CATx and fiber interconnect cables.

S/PDIF — A digital audio interconnect used in consumer audio equipment over relatively short distances.

Single-Head — A system with one video connection.

Single Link — A DVI-D interface for resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 by signal transmission of up to 165 MPixel/s (24-bit). Alternative frequencies are Full HD (1080p), 2K HD (2048 x 1080), and 2048 x 1152.

Single-Mode — 9μ fiber cable.

S-Video (Y/C) — The S-Video (Y/C) is a video format that transmits luminance and chrominance signals separately. It has a higher-quality standard than FBAS.

TOSLINK® — Standardized fiber connection system for digital transmission of audio signals (F05 plug connection).
