USB-A or USB-C?
Distinguishing cue
Check: Inspect the plug-end shell outline: the Type-A example is rectangular; the Type-C example is rounded. Confirm any markings or exact port documentation.
Cannot infer: Shape cannot establish charging power, USB data rate, alternate modes or the connected devices’ capabilities.
Inspect both source views ↗USB capability requirements ↗
02 / 10
USB-B or SuperSpeed USB-B?
Distinguishing cue
Check: Compare the cited cable-end examples. The SuperSpeed USB-B example adds an upper shell region; the older USB-B example is near-square with bevelled corners.
Cannot infer: These are oblique studies of two named cables, not pin maps. Color alone is not proof of electrical capability.

HDMI Type-A or Mini HDMI?
Distinguishing cue
Check: Read the two distinct receptacle shapes and the exact manufacturer examples. Check your device’s labels and port specification.
Cannot infer: The TE examples are different part families. Equal artwork sizes are not equal physical sizes or interchangeable footprints.
Inspect both source views ↗Display connector recognition ↗
04 / 10
Mini HDMI or Micro HDMI?
Distinguishing cue
Check: Compare the keyed-mouth cues in the source-described receptacle examples; verify the device’s HDMI connector designation.
Cannot infer: These are examples from different manufacturers (TE and Würth), not a common-scale dimensional study or fit gauge.
Inspect both source views ↗Display connector recognition ↗
05 / 10
DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort?
Distinguishing cue
Check: Look for the full-size DisplayPort shell’s angled corner versus the compact Mini DisplayPort example. Verify the port label.
Cannot infer: These inherited qualitative studies do not establish a device’s DisplayPort revision, lane mode or Thunderbolt compatibility.
Inspect both source views ↗Display connector recognition ↗

Distinguishing cue
Check: Count insulating bands on the unplugged metal plug: the cited TRS example shows two; TRRS shows three.
Cannot infer: Band count alone does not identify microphone wiring, pole assignments or compatibility with an audio jack.
Inspect both source views ↗Audio contact and role guide ↗
07 / 10
8P8C or 6P4C modular plug?
Distinguishing cue
Check: Compare the illustrated body widths and position counts; confirm the markings and the actual device socket before selecting a cable.
Cannot infer: The strokes represent positions, not terminal wiring. Informal “RJ45/RJ11” naming is not a wiring or service guarantee.
Inspect both source views ↗Modular port-role reference ↗
08 / 10
SATA data or SATA power?
Distinguishing cue
Check: Observe the narrower data-cable opening and wider power-cable opening in these qualitative L-key studies. Read the device connector label.
Cannot infer: These conceptual shape studies are not electrical contacts, pin assignments or a procedure for live equipment.
Inspect both source views ↗SATA data and power field sheet ↗
09 / 10
SMA or reverse-polarity SMA?
Distinguishing cue
Check: The original diagrams distinguish example centre-contact conventions. Check the *exact part* and vendor mating diagram before any connection.
Cannot infer: Neither image defines thread gender, gauge, part tolerances or safe mating by visual inference alone.
Inspect both source views ↗Antenna connector identity ↗

5.5 × 2.1 or 5.5 × 2.5 barrel?
Insufficient visual information
Check: These two examples can look alike in qualitative exterior views. Identify the exact part specification and mating bore safely with power disconnected.
Cannot infer: INSUFFICIENT VISUAL INFORMATION: the art alone cannot distinguish the bore, prove fit, voltage, polarity or power safety.
Inspect both source views ↗DC barrel measurement reference ↗
