Ethernet cables have been in existence for decades now. We can probably not think of the Internet existing without them. Electronic Industries Association and Telecommunications Industry Association (EIA) standardized them. They are available in following shield formats: U/UTP - Unshielded cable, unshielded twisted pairs F/UTP - Foil shielded cable, unshielded twisted pairs U/FTP - Unshielded cable, foil shielded twisted pairs S/FTP - braided shielded cable, foil shielded twisted pairs Here in this article we are going to talk about types of Ethernet cables: CAT5 CAT6 Let's start with CAT5 and CAT5e Ethernet cables. We will explore Shielded cat5 and shielded cat5e cables: CAT5 network cable is widely useful for 100Base-T and 1000Base-T networks as it provides performance for 100 Mbps or bit more. The Cat 5 cable replaced the CAT3 version and over the years it became the standard for Ethernet cables. According to the latest innovations Cat 5e cable replaced CAT5 cables. Cat5 cables ...

Over the years, the internet has become the most important ways of transmitting information. Due to this there have been lots of advancements in industrial cabling. This evolution has become possible by keeping in mind the basic end user requirements. If you have the responsibility of installing the network cables, then you must be confident that you are using the right cable. And this type of confidence one can gain only when they know the difference between them. Having a handful of choices makes it difficult to communicate effectively. It also makes it difficult to figure out which is the best one for you. There are multiple factors which go into deciding which type of cable you must use. We all prefer to have the latest things which are in the market. Hence, the latest thing in the market is fiber optic cables. Whereas, on the other hand, ethernet cables are in the market for too long. Let's start with the difference between fiber optic patch cable and ethernet cable wiring: Et...

Travel adapters and converters are necessary while travelling internationally with electronic devices. However, voltage and outlet type vary from destination to destination and the differences between the various converters, transformers, and adapters can confuse even the most seasoned international travelers. This guide to travel adapters will help you determine which types you need for your next trip abroad: What is a travel adapter? Countries across the world use different outlets and exact configurations of these outlets vary by country. If you are traveling abroad, chances are high that you'll need an adapter to plug in your electronic devices. However, these travel adapters often do not convert the power supply coming from the outlet; they simply allow you to plug your device into the configuration of that specific foreign electrical outlet. What are Voltage Converters and Transformers? Just like outlets, different countries use different voltages and many of our electrical d...

It’s not rocket science to know how to connect a monitor to a computer or CPU to be precise. But it sure is rocket science when you want to get the desired resolution and computer prowess. The key to getting the results you want is to pay attention to the cables you are using to connect the two. Since we clearly know a lot about cables, we will be answering this age-old question: ‘what is the cord that connects a computer to a monitor?’ in context to you getting the 4k resolution that you’ve always wanted or the computing prowess for your gaming. Of course, the answer to this question will be either a  computer cord  or cable connectors. But the main question here that we would be answering is which computer cord or which cable connectors. You can also connect an external monitor to your existing desktop or laptop but before investing make sure to check the back of your computer or the sides of the laptop for the right ports. The most common ports you’ll find on your desktop a...

When you are setting a wired network, the internet cabling is the first thing you want to set up the computer room or lounge room. Most people are familiar with the common type of   Ethernet cable   like Cat5e, Cat6,   Cat7 , Cat8 cables and many more. But, most of us don’t know some Ethernet cables can be divided into flat ethernet cable and round ethernet cable according to cable shape. Here, we will talk about flat and round cables and their differences. What Is Flat Ethernet Cable? The flat ethernet cable is a flat form of copper wire with twisted pairs arranged side by side rather than square shape. Most of the ethernet cables are unshielded because it's very difficult to place an overall shield on a flat Ethernet cable. This makes external EMI protection of flat Ethernet cable not readily available because the natural shielding tendency provides protection against external EMI for round cables. What Is Round Ethernet Cable? The round ethernet cable is round form ins...
