  A Dive Into the Story of USB-C USB-C. ‘The future of Cables’.  That’s what techies call.  The story of this sleek little thing starts in 2014. It was published by USB Implementers Forum and was finalized in August 2014.  However, it was in 2015 that the USB Type C came into the spotlight when Apple showed off its MacBook with a solitary port.  And that transformed things ahead. Almost every modern smartphone and laptop today has this USB port. The only exception is Apple’s iPhone that uses their Lightning port.  So, why this immense popularity? For that, we will need to understand USB Type C in some detail.  What is USB-C? USB-C is basically an industry-standard connector for transmitting power and data via a single cable.

Which Ethernet cable to choose between Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A is one of the most common questions cabling technicians get. Understandably, there is a lot of confusion in the market about which cable is the best and why. Some installers even end up arguing against each other and often take strong stands on which cable is the best. Ultimately all three cables - Cat5E, Cat6, and Cat6A use an RJ-45 end. This enables you to plug into the same Ethernet jack on your computer, switches, and routers. Each cable has its proper place and application. Let us talk about differences now. Pricing The first most notable difference between these three cables is price. Cat6 costs roughly 30% more than Cat5E, and Cat6A costs 30% more than Cat6. Plenum adds 30% over non-plenum. Shielded cabling (STP) adds roughly 30-40% more over unshielded (UTP) cabling. This means if your Cat5E installation is quoted at $10,000, then the same job with Cat6A may be $16,000. Thus, cost itself might be the #1 limiting...
