UTP

Abbreviation for unshielded twisted pair.

V

Abbreviation for volt(s).

VAC

Abbreviation for volt(s) alternating current.

VCCI

Abbreviation for Voluntary Control Council for Interference.

VDC

Abbreviation for volt(s) direct current.

VESA

Acronym for Video Electronics Standards Association.

VGA

Abbreviation for video graphics array. VGA and SVGA are video standards for video adapters with greater resolution and color

display capabilities than previous standards.

To display a program at a specific resolution, you must install the appropriate video drivers and your monitor must support

the resolution. Similarly, the number of colors that a program can display depends on the capabilities of the monitor, the

video driver, and the amount of video memory installed for the video adapter.

VGA feature connector

On some systems with a built-in VGA video adapter, a VGA feature connector allows you to add an enhancement adapter,

such as a video accelerator, to your system. A VGA feature connector can also be called a VGA pass-through connector.

video adapter

The logical circuitry that provides—in combination with the monitor—your system's video capabilities. A video adapter may

support more or fewer features than a specific monitor offers. Typically, a video adapter comes with video drivers for

displaying popular application programs and operating systems in a variety of video modes.

On some systems, a video adapter is integrated into the system board. Also available are many video adapter cards that plug

into an expansion-card connector.

Video adapters often include memory separate from RAM on the system board. The amount of video memory, along with the

adapter's video drivers, may affect the number of colors that can be simultaneously displayed. Video adapters can also

include their own coprocessor for faster graphics rendering.
