Computer technology, since its invention in the early 20th century, has been steadily moving forward. It evolves, adapts, and, should the need be, shrinks. Before, a computer unit used to need a lot of space, a room’s worth of space. Over the years, we’ve done away with that while still maintaining the functions it does smoothly. Nowadays, we do not require four to six cables to transmit various data types and make our workplace look cluttered. We have a single type of cable that can achieve this while being placed out of sight:  riser cable .  Technically, when one needs to put away wires out of view, there are two types of cables they can buy: CMR and CMP. The ones that go inside the walls are called riser cables (CMR), and the ones that go inside the plenum space (that space of a building that facilitates air circulation). Riser cables go in the area between floors that do not have plenum spaces. These cables are called so because they rise up from the floor. Ri...

More and more companies are moving towards work from home or adopting a hybrid work culture. Having an internet connection is a mandatory thing to have. Nowadays, we all use routers for WiFi connection as it is more convenient than dealing with cables. However, the WiFi connections can be unstable or may not reach the working table of your room. The walls or any other surface that comes in the way of the radiation, slows it down. No one likes when video calls buffer and you miss out on important information or your connection gets stuck in between your presentation.  To avoid all these, if you have a desk and you likely work on that then you must invest in wired connection. You can install the wire in a proper way so that it does not look messy and you have a clean organized desk. In this article, we will discuss all about wired connection or we can say ethernet cable that goes behind it. First let us understand what ethernet cables are and how they look. What is an Ethernet Cabl...

  Ethernet cables are not glamorous. But they exist and bring the internet to our devices. So, the cables must be paid attention to. Cat5e ethernet cable has been a favorite for a while now, whether for home or the office. It’s reliable and gets the job done.  When setting up wiring for home or office, it is always better to future-proof the setup, thus eliminating the need to break walls every so often. Let’s talk about a long term setup for your home: If you want to set up a futuristic house, you need to upgrade your cabling and ensure that it is done in a way that it remains upgradable over the coming years. This is when a patch panel system comes into play.  Now any normal in-house cabling would mean you would have a bunch of things plugged into your wall all over the place. And if you need to upgrade, you’d have to go through your walls. With a patch panel set up, you can finish your in-wall wiring once and keep the outside wiring neat and tidy.

Cat5e cable is an upgrade to the cat5 cable. The ‘ e ’ stands for ‘ enhanced ’. A cat 5 cable can transfer data at the maximum speed of 100Mbps whereas the cat5e cable can go up to 1000Mbps . However, when we say fast, it is not always obvious that it is reliable. The cat5e cable is the more reliable one out of the two. Because of its speed and reliability, it should be an obvious choice for any internet intensive usage. Contrary to a popular belief that only enterprises and the IT industry have internet intensive usage, our homes are just as internet intensive. And so are the product companies that run our smart home appliances. This brings us to the question of what a smart home includes. A smart home is a home that has connected devices for entertainment, convenience, and security. A number of convenience and security-based electronic tasks rely on the concept of IFTTT. The IFTTT protocol works best when there is a seamless and constant connection to the internet. Therefo...

Ethernet cables are one of the most conventional forms of network cables used for internet networks. They provide a connection within local area networks like routers, switches, and PCs. Generally, they are practically indistinguishable despite their thickness. However, not all the Ethernet cables are the same. This blog focuses more on the design aspect of Ethernet cables which is taken for granted many a time. For instance, the appropriate use of copper, benefits of twisted pairs for signal propagation, and how we can compare Cat 5 to Cat 6 . A Quick Tour of Ethernet Cable Making You will find numerous types of Ethernet Cables in the market. For example, there are shielded, unshielded, 4 pair, 25 pair and many more. The most basic Ethernet cable consists of 4 twisted pairs covered in an outer case. Other basic versions include a spline or star filler which helps in keeping the cable round. Secondly, there are other options available like ripcords and drain wir...
