Transmission speed, connection, distance and costs. These are some of the factors you need to consider when it comes to buying cables for your ethernet network. “Should I use category 5E or 6A for wiring my ethernet network?” People often ask this question. This is majorly because all these cables have different names, standards and configurations. Today, we will focus on CAT5E and CAT6A Cables and understand the major differences between them. Thereafter, you might be able to make the right choice. Let’s understand about CAT5E Cables first. CAT 5E Cables CAT 5E emerged as the first to hit the potential of 1 gigabit network. It is now 15 years old. If you aren’t willing to spend much and do not mind using old cables, CAT 5E can be a good choice. CAT 5E Cables are an enhanced version of CAT 5. You might find them at the lowest prices but sometimes, their transmission speed is low. This ethernet cable allows the data transfer speed of 1 Gigabit per second at 100 MHz up t...

Every person was rejoicing after the preface of HDMI cable. They knew that now they could get rid of the bulky connectors and multiple cables. In earlier times, as we all know, one cable was used for audio and other for video was in use. In fact, HDMI brought the change, with which the size of connectors got smaller. The need of separate video and audio cable also gone astray. Over the years, the standards of HDMI have shown fierce advances. The use and the needs of TV have shown extensive changes. Thus, addition of extra features to the HDMI cords became imminent. HDMI started inclusion of many advance provisions. High bandwidth Digital Copy Protection (HDCP) and basic control of multiple HDMI connected devices (CEC) belong to the “family of change.” It safeguards the content providers from piracy. You will find a very long list of the devices for which HDMI is in use. The devices include – HD and ultra HD TV’s, video and desktop monitors, video projectors. HDMI cord also coec...

Internet connectivity over an optical cord has become a precious standard for fast and high-quality data transmission. This technology is relatively new. This new nature of it can leave some in a dilemma. Some would even be unwilling to invest in it. Some would still prefer go old school and use convention network cables. Over the years, with the technical progress, even conventional cable has risen to new horizons. But, which technology is better? Both copper and glass or optical cords have their benefits. Both have unique features. If something is better for others does not necessarily make it better for you. So, the right question to ask is which means would suit your business? Fiber Optics Cable The conventional copper wires transmit data via electricity. Fiber wire relies on light. It does not transmit data through the flow of electrons. This enables much faster internet connection. In fact, it also enables handling of a higher bandwidth. Sometimes, even during the peak ...

It is very common to see two or more screens mounted on the desk of developers, passionate gamers and others who want to have a superior quality virtual experience. In fact, they feel quite confined if they use a single monitor. Now, for using more than one monitor – CRT or LCD, you would need a monitor cable having a Video Graphics Array (VGA), High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), S video connector and a DVI, HDMI, VGA, or S Video port for connecting the second monitor with your computer. Let us understand all that you would need to set up more than one monitors and how would they help in detail. Monitor Cables In some monitors, you might find a monitor cable. In some, you might not. So, go through the monitor’s packaging and you can know if the device is sold with the cable including monitors having VGA, HDMI and DVI connectors. In case the monitor does not come with the cable, you can browse through monitor cables available online and find the one that fits into th...

We thrive in the era of wireless charging. We have cloud data backups. But, we still heavily rely upon USB cables for power and data management. Apple users went through transition many years ago. They left behind a flat, 30 pin dock connector to a smaller lightning connector. And today, the rest of the smartphone industry is moving towards USB type C connectors. It is difficult to decide which cable offers the best features. Which cable promises more longevity? If we look closely, Apple is currently using USB type C for MacBook & MacBook pro. The question is will we ever see the same on other Apple devices? Lightning cable Lightning Connector not only charges iPhone, iPad, and iPod. But, it also charges Apple’s headphones, earbuds, and other accessories of the Mac. The lightning cable does a little more than just transmit power. It can also receive digital information. You can use this cable to download photos and videos to your laptops. Moreover, you can also download...

Sharing files through Local Area Network (LAN) cables is by far, one of the oldest ways of transferring data. Over the years, with the forward propulsion of technology, this practice has seen many changes. Today we have other options. We can create a network even without the usage of any cable. What if you lack access to a network and need to transfer data? Or wish to establish a connection between two computers? You can simply connect the computers using a Crossover Ethernet Cord. Your productivity increases when you create such a network for sharing data. It does not matter if you create this network junction for personal pleasure or for some official work. There is no need even for a router for establishing this. You can even cut down costs of pen drives or CD’s. This is more of a hassle than being costly. Within half an hour you can set up a network between two computers using a Crossover Ethernet cord . The procedure is simple. Let us look at how to connect two computers u...
