Basics of Ethernet Connection Everyone Should Know of

  We all use internet connections. And for your internet connection, there are various things that you will require. For example, router, ethernet cables, modem, etc. Today we will talk about Ethernet cables and types of ethernet cables. First things first. What are Ethernet Cables? An ethernet cable is a cable that runs from a router, modem, or switches giving your devices the internet or LAN (Local Area Network) access. The benefit of hardwiring internet connections is that it is consistent and faster. The internet speed will not drop due to walls or objects blocking Wifi. For gamers, gaming with ethernet cables means less lag and faster loading time. Types of Ethernet Cables Some categories of ethernet cables are further divided based on shielding it has and the copper conductors infused in it. Let us check what they are. Fiber Optic Cable These cables have a center glass surrounded by different layers of protective materials. These cables transmit light in place of electronic s...

International Power Cord: Your Visa to the World

Every country manages electricity in its own way. So our   computer power cord , power cord for the phone, and other gadgets are also different. We buy our gadget, bring it home, unbox it, and plugin that cord that came with it to give it that initial charge to start using it. However, most of us never think about it.  The trend of putting power plugs is going away, though. For a few years now, when you bring home a gadget — only phones for now really — you don’t get a power plug. The idea is to decrease the packaging size and limit elements that go into making a plug. If you have one power plug, you have them all.  While this sounds great on paper, there is an adoption curve to this. You use a number of different gadgets throughout the day: your phone, laptop, smart home devices, tablet, e-reader, book light, power bank, wireless headphones, Bluetooth speakers, and so on and so forth. If you go look at the cord that came with each of these, you will see that your single-...

Why Using Extension Cords is Beneficial?

In our everyday life, we use electronic devices to simplify our work in various ways. There are numerous advantages that electronic devices offer us. But to make them work, you will require power cords, sockets, and connections. But what if you want to place multiple devices in the socket, one for charging, another for starting the equipment, etc. In this case, you will need an extension cord. You will find this electronic device almost everywhere - in homes, offices, etc. So, since you cannot install new switchboards and sockets on every wall, extension cords come in handy. You will just need to find a socket that can supply power to all the devices connected to the extension cord. In this article, we will discuss the benefits of extension cords to give you more details about this unique and outstanding electronic device. Delivers Electricity to Unreachable Areas A power extension cable is necessary, especially when there is a need for power in any inaccessible spots. I don't mean...

What Are the Different Types of USB Cables?

  Universal Serial Bus cables (USB Cables) are a boon in the plug-in world. They allow the connection between various electronic devices with the help of only a cable. Thanks to their versatile use cases, their demand is increasing every year. By versatile, I did not mean one USB cable fits all. There are different types of USB cables used for different purposes. For example, type A for one side connection, type B to and to understand each type, we need to know more details about them. Let us get started. But before we dig deep into the types of cables, it is important to understand the following two terms: What is a Port and a Receptor Ports are basically slotting on the motherboard, where a cable of an external device needs to be plugged in. There are two types of ports: male and female. The device controlling the electric link is known as the host, while the other end is called the peripheral/receptor. For example, if you connect a laptop via ports to the smartphone, the laptop ...

How to Build Network Connection for Your Small Business

  To build a network infrastructure for your small business, you need to consider a few things. It is quite different from setting up a home network. Business network designs are more complex and need high security. Here is the basic list of devices that you will need. Modem A modem modulates and demodulates electrical signals sent via coaxial cables, phone lines, etc. Modulation is the transformation of digital information from your computer into analog signals to transmit over wires. Whereas demodulation is the translation of incoming analog signals back into digital information that a computer understands. Modems support DOCSIS(Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) which is useful to transmit the internet over hybrid fiber-coaxial cable. But with the increasing use of optical fiber, modems have become obsolete. They transmit higher bandwidth over large distances. So if you need a high data transfer rate in your office then you will not need a modem. Router A router tr...

5 Types of Wires Every Home Needs

  Do you also feel like you know almost nothing when it comes to installing wires in your new home? How many types of cables are there, and what is the purpose of using them? However, it is important to know which kind of cable you need for your electronic devices. Also, having a basic understanding of various cables can be helpful while choosing the right kind of cables for your home. Mostly the word wires and cables are interchangeably used but the cable is a collection of various wires. However, they have the same purpose of carrying electric current. Let us find out what kind of wires your home requires. Non-Metallic(NM) Cable NM cable is the most common type of cable. The composition of these cables is copper wire and two or more insulated wires. The copper wire is also known as a ground wire. Ground wires protect the circuit from getting damaged when there is a sudden surge of current. The ground wire will supply that current to the earth. These wires are color-coded, which m...
