The phenomenon of transferring data up to long distances is not new to us. Thanks to satellite communications, data networks, broadcasters and cable operators, we can exchange the information we want whenever we want. This transmission of data is possible due to Fiber optic cables. Also, with the enhancement of technology, and inclination towards better performances, the utility of fiber optics is increasing with each passing day. Today, we will know more about Fiber Optic Cables, how they evolved and a little bit about their working. First, let’s start with the introduction of Fiber Optic Cables. So, what Are Fiber Optics? Fiber Optic cables, also known as optical fibers are tiny strands (same size as human hair) of glass arranged in optical cable bundles. They’re an ultimate choice when one wants to transmit light signals to long distances. Every bundle of these cables comes with a jacket or an outer covering. Now look at a single optic fiber and you will observe that i...

Whether you are shopping for electronics online or offline, you must have observed that every now and then, there is an announcement for a new connector. Today, we will talk about DisplayPort Cord, also known as the digital display interface. Well-known giants like Dell, HP and Apple have recommended and made the most out of this standard. People who make use of  DisplayPort Cables  use it for running their audio/video devices. These cables support the HD video resolutions of up to 2560 x 1600 with 10-bit color and surround sound audio. A lot of professionals from PC industry make use of DisplayPort technology as it can establish connection between both external and internal displays easily. Not just that, it also provides slim and cheap displays. Through this blog, we will try to understand the importance of these cables and how they help. Offering Versatility One of the best features of a superior quality displayport cable is that it can directly drive display p...

Oh, how you wish this article was about Phoebe’s Smelly Cat from F.R.I.E.N.D.S! Well, I wish that too. But unfortunately, today, I’ve taken up the task of acquainting you with different categories of Ethernet cables. And I believe, you will hang in there if you need a profound understanding of different categories that you need to choose from. We often forget that cables are the most essential element of our electronically driven lives. Be it home or work, all the communication, including the one that takes place between family members is possible due to network cables. Although cables seem to be old-fashioned in our wireless world, they are pretty much present and reliable when it comes to connecting different devices. If you have worked on computers, you must have seen blue, white and other colorful cables stemming out of your PC and going towards modem. Known as  Ethernet Cables , they are quite a lot in use when you want to connect LAN, modem or router to another comp...

Talk about the majorly used power cord types and you are sure to hear the names IEC and NEMA power cords. As you all know, NEMA – which stands for National Electrical Manufacturing Association is the body that is responsible for publishing international standards for different equipment and their interconnections. In today’s blog, we shall talk about NEMA & IEC power cords and provide you with some tips to consider when you want to buy them online. Power Cord And Their Types Looking at a power cord, you will see a single cable that has a pair of couplers on its ends. You can detach these ends from the device and electrical supply. Using it, you can connect a portable electronic device with the supply line. Also, it can easily pass through an extension cord or a wall socket. Now let’s discuss its anatomy in detail. A power cord has two major parts – The Cable Plug and the male connector. One can connect the AC outlet for rendering electricity. The receptacle on the oth...

You use power cords for sure. But, do you know what standardizes them and what makes them useful for the purposes you want? The International Electrotechnical Commission – abbreviated as IEC is the body responsible for providing the Power Cords with the standardization based on their specifications. Let’s take  IEC320 Power Cords  for example. The term “IEC 320” refers to the electrical specification of that power connector. IEC rates the IEC 320 receptacles for 6 to 10A at 250 VAC. So, most of the accessory power cords come with the plug that fits into instruments but whether or not their end will fit to the power outlet depends on the country and the device that you use. When it comes to producing power cords for international manufacturing, producing one instrument with common power receptacle along with the right power cord is more effective than producing different models. Until now, we have talked about several different types of power cords. Today, we will be ...

If you have experienced the loss of internet connectivity and long hiatus in working environments, you must be aware of the importance of high performance data networks. The local area networks, also known as LANs, cannot work at the best of their potential without Ethernet Cables. Today, if you take a look at 10 Gigabit Ethernet, you wouldn’t be able to believe the fact that at a certain point in time used to establish connections between telephone networks. The Evolution Of Ethernet Cables Over the years, technology has evolved a lot and there is a lot of demand for high network speed. To support these demands, engineers have developed components and cables that are able to transmit fast speeds at long distances. In the 1980’s, the introduction of CAT3 Ethernet cables took place as it could support 10BASE-T Ethernet as well as voice services. The introduction of CAT5 in mid 1990s outgrew its popularity as it could support the network speed of up to 100Mbps. Thereafter,...
