Assorted Cables For Various Cable Caddies

By Neva Tweedie


There are multiple kinds of cables, which all can be mounted onto appropriate cable caddies. They are commonly used by computers and their networks. Straight through cables are usually applied for serial to serial connectivity. Prior to advent of networking, this type was among the most preferred ways for connecting computers. It still is used on some machines as the primary connection method to console.

Optical plus Toslink cables are another variety of how to transmit audio through fiber optic cables. Emerging laptop brands and sound systems are the main wares which utilize these. USB cables are in fact quite useful as new standard of printing and have now found significance in different applications, including play-stations, cameras and phones. It is very possible in fact to undertake LAN connections from USB to USB.

At present two versions are in operation. They include USB1 transmitting at 12 MBps speed of transfer and USB2, which works at 480MBps. Internal PC cables connect to other devices in computers to the main board, also known as motherboard. The slowest rate of connection in current application is of floppy and IDE cables. Do find a fitting wire caddy for these on the Web.

The IDE connects hard drive. Serial ATA (SATA) cables now have overtaken IDEs as main method which connects hard drive to motherboard. SCSI cables in general are only employed in servers for connecting SCSI hard drives. Two standards of Network cables exist, which are the Cat6e and Cat5e.

These possess dual operational formats, which are crossed and straight through (standard). Straight through is used across general networks in business firms and is useful in achieving connections to wall socket network. This wire connects between various computers, beginning at network patch panels onto network switches (hubs). Make sure you choose a desirable cable caddy.

Smaller networks such as ones involving two computing devices make use of cross over cable for connecting between two computers with network cards. The cards allow for communication to be conducted between the computers. Cat5e and Cat6e are presumed to have speeds of 100MBps and 1000MBps, respectively.

Even though Cat5e in reality can operate at 1000MBps, it is not shielded appropriately to handle such speeds. ADSL and Modem Cables on their part connect telephone socket to router modem. By America telephone standard, RJ11 is the designation given to socket connecting modem to router. Two kinds of modem cables are used, which are standard telephone wire and another Cat5e type that is shielded to allow for expedited action of broadband line connectivity. Null Modem cables allow for inter-connectivity between two computers through serial (RS232) ports. Log onto the internet and choose desirable cable caddies for these as well.
