Connectivity Propellers That Make Your Computers Work

The human brain is connected with different organs like eyes, nose, ears, etc. through neurons. As the organs sense different activities, the message is further carried to the brain while the brain interprets these impulses and acts accordingly.
The computer network in this 21st century with a high level of increased usage, functions very similar to the human body. The similarity persists in the ways it is networked. The brain is the central processing unit (CPU) of the human body and the network of neurons connects it with the different organs.
It is quite astonishing to know how neurons create a network of impulses in the human body. But how does a computer network connect with the devices? It certainly does not create its network using neurons. So what creates a computer network? How are different devices plugged into the computers?
The answer is using Universal Serial Bus(USB) Cable, Fiber Optics Cable, Networking Cable. These are the connectors which are used for connecting various external devices with a computer for data transfer and for creating a vast network spread across the oceans.

USB Cables/Adapters

Designed basically for standardization of computer connection peripherals, for supplying electricity and for communication which replaced the large variety of earlier interfaces of the likes of serial ports and parallel ports and separate power cables for portable devices. The USB Cables and Adapters are the highly demanded accessories when the world has been through the smartphone boost.
File transfer, charging, portability are the few of the uses of USB. It is supposed to be universal connector, has many variants in accordance with the functions. Type-A, Type-B, Mini USB, Micro USB, Type-C are the different variants available in the market.

Fiber Optics Cable

Optical Fiber Cable uses pulses of light to transfer data using the phenomenon of Total internal reflection. The cable is coated with plastic and it protects the cable from exposure to heat, cold and other weather atrocities, electromagnetic interference and ultraviolet rays of sun.
These cables are the most reliable and fastest data transfer cables on the planet. OFC are used to connect and transfer data across continents. They are fast which can carry large capacity, the signals have higher strength and require least maintenance. The most reliable and powerful connectivity propeller is an optical Fiber cable. It has varied applications like internet connectivity, telephone systems, cable TV, stereo system etc.

Networking Cables

Wireless connectivity are thriving but many computer networks still rely on physical cables to transfer data. Coaxial cables-the ones introduced the earliest for connecting TV sets with antenna is also a standard for 10MBPS Ethernet cable.
The upgradation from 10MBPS to 100MBPS ethernet cables introduced the twisted pair cables. Its two primary types are unshielded twisted pair (UTP), shielded twisted pair (STP). Crossover cables have the purpose of connecting more than one devices at the same time such computers or network switches.
All these cables and adapters are the lifelines of the modern world and keep the world networked and connected together.

Power Splitter vs. Extension Cord: Which One Is Right for You

Power distribution is a crucial aspect of managing electrical devices efficiently. When faced with the need to connect multiple devices to a single power source, two popular options come to mind: power splitters and extension cords. Understanding the differences between these two solutions is essential to ensuring optimal power management and safety. In this article, we will explore the features, applications, and considerations associated with power cord splitters and extension cords, helping you make an informed decision on which one is right for your specific needs. Power Splitters: Unleashing Versatility  Power splitters, also known as cord splitters or power cable splitters, are designed to divide a single power source into multiple outlets. These devices allow you to connect several devices simultaneously, expanding the number of electrical connections available. Power cord splitters come in various configurations, including three-way, four-way, and even more complex ...

How to Connect Tablet to External Monitor or Flat-screen TV Using Computer Adapters?

Tablets have numerous use cases. They have brought a radical change in the user experiences with larger display as compared to smartphones. You can enjoy videos and movies more on tablets as compared to smartphones. But, what if you are craving for a bigger screen? What if you want to view videos or movies on a screen that is larger than a tablet? Well, grab your popcorn and tie your seatbelts as you can enhance the multimedia experience by connecting tablet to an external monitor or a flat-screen TV. Watch movies the way you watch them in theatre. And what gives you a better viewing experience?  Computer adapters . Here is a brief yet step-by-step guide to enable you to connect tablet to a larger screen: Check Your Tablet’s Ports Firstly, take a close look at the tablet’s ports. It is necessary because the ports of the tablets have started advancing with every passing year. Traditionally, tablets had just video ports. Now, the new tablets have USB-C or USB Type-C ports. ...

Fiber Optic Cables Vs Ethernet Cables: What Is the Difference?

Wi-Fi is like love. Always in the air and ready to connect you with the fascinating digital world. But ever wondered what keeps it in the air? Well, just like any relationship has a foundation of understanding, a wireless network has a fiber cabling underneath that helps people to connect with the internet anytime they want to. The other most popularly used cable type is Ethernet cables. They are used everywhere right from IP camera technologies to LED lighting. These cables are quite cheaper as compared to fiber cables; but when one wants to have a huge and powerful network cable , fiber cables become necessary. Both the cables have their advantages and disadvantages, specialties, and limitations. Through this blog, we will differentiate between the two and try to understand both in details: History of Fiber & Ethernet Cables The fiber optic technology was first used in 1969 when NASA sent it to the moon for use in television cameras. And a company named Xerox developed Eth...
