Small device which is connected to a cable to change from male to female connections or vice-versa. |
Devices which split a single cable into more than one cable, or combines several cables into one cable. |
Coaxial cable, also known as a coax, is a type of cable that has an inner conductor surrounded by a tubular insulating layer, surrounded by a tubular conducting shield. Many coaxial cables also have an insulating outer sheath or jacket. Various uses including home video equipment and ethernets. |
A thin glass fibre through which light can be transmitted. |
Cables which are used wirh computers and small electronic devices such as cameras and MP3 platters. They transmit data to and from high-bandwidth digital devices faster than USB. |
InfiniBand is a switched fabric communications link primarily used in high-performance computing. Its features include quality of service and failover, and it is designed to be scalable. Its architecture specification defines a connection between processor nodes and high performance I/O nodes such as storage devices. |
A KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse) cable connects a keyboard, mouse and monitor to two or more computers. |
Any type of network has its own type of cables. Today's standard for home and office use is Ethernet. For Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet you need at least category 5 cabling. Ethernet cables can have their connectors attached in two different ways: ordinary or cross linked. You will most likely need the ordinary version, unless you want to connect two devices directly to each other, and even then most modern Ethernet network devices will automatically detect the type of cable you are using and adapt their settings to it, so they will work with both types. |
Cables used to transfer information between two devices using a parallel communication protocol. These cables usually have IEEE 1284 connectors. |
A power cable, also known as a power cord, is used for the transmission of electrical power. |
A cable with a PS/2 plug. A Ps/2 plug is a 6-pin plug used to connect a keyboard and mouse to a computer. They were first introduced on IBM's PS/2 desktop PC in 1987. Subsequently, PS/2 connections have been largely replaced by USB connections. |
SATA is a computer bus interface that connects host bus adapters to mass storage devices such as hard disk drives and optical drives. SATA host adapters and devices communicate via a high-speed serial cable over two pairs of conductors. |
Cables which move data to and from computer storage devices such as hard drives using an SAS protocol. |
Cables used to transfer information between two devices using a serial communication protocol. |
A cable designed to carry current of less than one ampere per conductor. |
Cables with Thunderbolt connectors, which are used by electronic devices e.g. Apple's 2011 MacBook Pro, |
Cable used to connect to a USB port, which are found in desktop computers, laptops and other electronic devices. |
Wires to connect two or more components. |
