What is the meaning of Color-coded in english?

Answer: Color-coded

Color-coded is a description of anything that is marked by a color. For example, on the back of many computers, the ports are color-coded so users can have an easier time connecting hardware to the computer. By having the ports color-coded, someone connecting their keyboard can know which of the TWO or more similar connections is correct. The picture shows an example of the PS/2 keyboard and mouse port on a computer that are color-coded. In the top example, the port is colored, and in the bottom example, a sticker points to the port.

Tip

Many cables are also color-coded to help with matching the port. For example, a new computer user could identify the round purple keyboard PLUG connects to the round purple PS/2 port.

Note

Many of the modern connector ports (HDMI, USB, FireWire, Ethernet, ETC.) are black and need to be identified by their shape rather than their color.
