The basic definition of patch cables means an electronic cable which connects electronic devices. It allows the transmission of data between them. There are different types of patch cables in the market with fiber optic patch cables being one of the types. Other types include microphone, headphones, RCA, and ethernet. Fiber optic patch cable, cord or often known as optical jumper, is a fiber cable terminated with fiber optic connectors (LC, SC, MTRJ, ST, and more) at each of their ends. These connectors allow the cord to stay connected to an optical switch or other computing devices. These cords are ideal for indoor use in server rooms, data centers, medical imaging, mechanical engineering, LAN applications, Cable TV networks, Telephone lines, and more. If you are looking to buy fiber optic jumper for your system, first you should be aware of its types and functionalities. And then choose according to your requirements. Let’s dive in! Armored Fiber Patch Cord: It is...

Supposedly, you have to install data cables for your newly built house. But don’t have any clue about them. And we all know that it can get overwhelming with the variety of ethernet cables available in the market such as Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, Cat7, cat8, and so on. So, if you are selecting the cable for your place then it is important to understand their features and capabilities. Presently, Cat 7 and Cat 8 cables are marking their presence in the market with their efficiency and compatibilities with other ports. And complicated questions are bound to arise like if using Cat 8 with standard Cat 7 would work or not. To answer such questions before they arise, let’s understand Cat 7 and Cat 8 in details including their main differentiating point. General Information: Cat 7 Cables: Category 7 cable known as a Cat7 or Cat-7 cable is used to cable the infrastructure of Gigabit Ethernet. It offers up to 600MHz. A perfect choice to cable your smart home. After ca...

With the technological advancements & increasing internet speed raises a question as to whether to use traditional copper as the physical interconnector or upgrade to fiber to support these higher speeds. In this blog post, we are going to see the main difference and consequences of using both on the same platform. Size And Space: The main difference will be fluctuation in size and weight. Everyone has seen a traditional Cat5/Cat6 and a fiber cable. The clear difference here is that a duplex fiber optic cable provides 25 percent space savings and 50 percent weight savings over shielded bulk cat5e cable . Moreover, optical fiber cables are lighter, thinner, and more efficient than their copper counterparts. However, it is important to note that fiber cables are a bit more fragile and require special tools to terminate connections. Transmission Speed: Traditional Cat5 twisted pair copper cables support a transmission rate of 100 Megabits per second. On the same side, Ca...

In the present scenario, we find more USB cables in our drawers than the documents. I am sure that your drawers are full of different USB drives, cables, and chargers you bought over the years. Their overall quality has improved over the years. Now, they charge your devices more quickly and transfer files at an astonishing rate. But they haven’t gotten any secure. And that changed a few months ago. We all are aware of the USB-IF. It is an industry group which is responsible for the development of USB standards. Back in January, they announced the USB Type-C Authentication Program. During the press conference, they put the utmost importance on authentication. Further, they said that it would empower the host system to protect against non-compliant USB adapters and decrease the risks of malicious firmware or hardware in USB devices. How USB Cables Are At Risk? In case you are not aware of it, the USB ports on your devices entail a crucial security point. There are major hac...

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past couple of years, you know the whole controversy about phone companies doing away with the headphone jack and replacing it with a USB-C or Lightning port (in case of Apple devices). Apple was the first one to do it, and as usual, the industry followed. While phones are usually used to consume music on the go, and therefore, consumers have almost come to accept it, and are living the dongle life. But the world is not yet ready for completely doing away with the headphone jack. People still consider audio cables are best suited for clear audio delivery. And they are not wrong to think that. RCA cables have established themselves in the music industry to deliver top of the line experience. They are now also compatible with other kinds of audio connectors. RCA cables deliver stereo sound via two cables that have connectors that are usually red and white colored, red of the right and white of the left stereo sound. Sometimes th...

Cat 8 cables are still new and shiny. Pretty much no one uses them at home, yet. They are incredibly fast at 25Gbps to 40Gbps speeds . That kind of speed is only useful in a more industrial setting and after all, only such settings can afford the cost of it. The question to ask is what are the possible uses of such an extravagant speed that this particular network cable gives? We associate Internet speed with getting information faster, getting data faster. Since Cat 8 cables are made of copper as opposed to glass in optical fiber cables , they are more durable. They are more cost-effective as well. Cat 8 cables are useful in data centers that power all kinds of businesses and the internet, as we know it. While having your Twitter feed update faster than you can blink is great, but there is more to it. Having information about an accident on your daily commute route, before you leave for work is good so that you can avoid it. However, even this is a small issue ...

As a consumer who uses a computer for basic tasks like managing a small to medium work database, or some light content editing that is mostly text, you can simply use the new all-in-one type of laptops in the market. One that folds into tablet mode for touch screen web scrolling, and has a full keyboard to type out long emails, or make content strategies. But if you have ever tried to edit video or stream games on one of those laptops, you know that we are slightly far from eliminating a full size, customizable desktop setup. A customizable desktop setup gives you the freedom to use whatever monitor you want, a keyboard you are comfortable with, a mouse that doesn’t make you hate scrolling and speakers that actually sound like they are trying to put in some work. The processor, RAM, and storage should cater to your requirements too. The most important thing about a customizable setup is that you can switch out anything you want, whenever! No need to compromise on anything. ...
