Draadgebonden

Draadgebonden is a Dutch word that translates to "wired" or "cable-bound" in English. It generally refers to a connection or device that relies on physical cables for its operation or communication. This contrasts with wireless technologies that use radio waves or other electromagnetic fields to transmit data.

In the context of technology, "draadgebonden" is often used to describe network connections, such as Ethernet cables that link computers to a router or modem. It can also refer to peripherals like wired keyboards, mice, or headphones that connect to a device via a USB or audio jack. The term emphasizes the physical nature of the connection, highlighting the presence of a tangible wire.

While wireless technology offers convenience and mobility, draadgebonden connections are often favored for their stability, speed, and security. Wired connections typically provide a more consistent and reliable data transfer rate, making them ideal for applications that demand high bandwidth or low latency, such as online gaming or high-definition video streaming. Furthermore, because they do not rely on shared radio frequencies, wired connections are generally less susceptible to interference and eavesdropping. The term draadgebonden thus signifies a dependable and direct link.
