  Power cable types are innumerable. The intricacies of which type of power cable connector belongs to which appliance and gadget are complex. Some cables are wired to the appliance, while others can be detached. This generally depends on two factors: the device's portability and the appliance's voltage requirement.  So how many power connector types exist? Let's go through them! There are two main types in the US: NEMA, short for National Electrical Manufacturers Association, and IEC, short for International Electrotechnical Commission. The types of NEMA connectors are 1-15, 5-15, and 5-20, and IEC connectors are C5/C6, C7/C8, C13/C14, C15/C16, and C19/C20.  NEMA A fair amount of cables contain NEMA 1-15, 5-15, or 5-20 connectors to an outlet. The older and ungrounded type of connector that has two metal prongs is the 1-15. Generally, one is a little larger than the other, but these prongs were the same size on the old cables. 1-15, which is the grounded type, has s...

  SATA cables have a wide range of functions and applications, and they work well to connect different devices to the motherboard of your computer. SATA cables, however, come in various styles and configurations that are appropriate for multiple uses. SATA cable speeds differ from generation to generation as well. Even while SATA cables are relatively adaptable, it can be challenging to recognize the difference between different varieties, especially if you don't handle such cables frequently. It is known as external SATA/eSATA cables. It is feasible to utilize the advantages of SATA/eSATA cables interface delivers to storage outside the PC by using shielded cable lengths up to 2 meters. eSATA is hot pluggable and offers more outstanding performance than current alternatives. Here this guide walks you through about the SATA cable so you can better grasp how they work. Let's start now. What are SATA cables? Advanced Serial Technology Attachment cables are specialized cabl...

  A universal cause for annoyance for anyone who has ever used an electrical device are the power cords. They are present in everything: household appliances like refrigerators and microwaves, construction tools like drillers and circular saws, and all electronic devices at a workplace, namely computers, printers, and laptops. At any given workplace, power cords can be the bane of its existence, as there are numerous for different purposes, are always strewn about, and forever present a tripping hazard.  If one is to maintain the sanity of the workplace, they must go through the given eight points for keeping power cords up to date at the workplace.  1. Storage of Cords When Not in Use As witnessed in every workplace that uses computers, power cords can be found hanging everywhere; walls and floors are covered in jumbles of cords. If one trips over these, they risk yanking them out either from the device or the socket, causing damage to both. To avoid this, we have t...

Technology is at a turning point right now, and growing pains come with that. By 2022 we were supposed to have flying cars and wireless charging. While both are true, they are only in their initial stage. Our devices' processors are ultra-fast, but the batteries are only catching up to that requirement. The biggest requirement the tech of today demands from us is certain port sacrifices.  In an attempt to cut down on multiple cables, we now have fewer ports on our devices. However, not all peripherals have hopped on this trend. They are still using their other connectivity standards, so connecting them to a laptop can get tricky.  This is where that sacrifice comes in. Instead of always simply carrying around a laptop and getting everything done on it, we have to carry around little adapters that are just the right version for what you connect via them.  So here are a few dongles you need to keep around: A charging cable for your iPhone iPhones have infamously ...

Nowadays, it is common practice to pair a computer with a long extension cord. But is it safe for your computers or laptops? With laptops, you don't have to think about electricity, but they can only work if you don't have any battery issues. Has the thought ever crossed your mind whether your laptop or computer is safe or not with the continuous use of an extension cord? Keep reading further to explore it yourself. Proper Specifications: The most expensive laptop or computer cannot work if you don't use the required amperage and voltage. So, it is apparent that you will need a PC power cord . It helps provide power to computers, printers, and monitors. The general specification is that 15 Amps is a proper rating for an extension cord for computers. Apart from the amperage, it would help if you also considered voltage and wattage to determine the power rating. With voltage, you need a 120V setting in countries like the US or 240V in other countries. It would be best to ke...
