About Computer Cables

Computer cables are used to connect monitors, keyboards, printers, hard drives, and other peripherals to computers. There are many different types of products. Choices include extender cables, patch cable and patch cords, flat cables, power cordage, bulk cables, and cable assemblies. Other unlisted, specialized and proprietary computer cables are also available. 

Extender cables and patch cables are common types of computer cables. Extender cables provide extra length for an existing cable. They are sometimes known as cable extenders or extension cables. Patch cables or patch chords are terminated at both ends with plugs. Normally, these computer cables are used for interconnecting circuits on a patch panel.

Products & Services Related to Computer Cables

Cable Assemblies
Cable assemblies are collections of wires or cables banded into a single unit with connectors on at least one end.
Coaxial Cables and Triaxial Cables
Coaxial cables have one conductor insulated with a dielectric material and then surrounded by the other conductor, usually referred to as the center conductor and shield.  Triaxial cables are specialized coaxial cables.
Flat Cables
Flat cables are typically used in computers for internal connections to peripherals. They are also referred to as ribbon cables.
Industrial Network Cables
Industrial network cables are used in industrial applications such as automation, control and data acquisition.
Multiconductor Cables
Multiconductor cables contain two or more conductors, each of which consists of a single wire or combination of wires. Cable shielding is placed around an insulated conductor or group of conductors to prevent electrostatic or electromagnetic interference between the enclosed wires and external fields.
Serial Cables
Serial cables are used for the serial transmission of data. They support communication standards such as RS232, RS422, and RS485, as well as Fibre Channel, IEEE 1394 or FireWire® (Apple Computer, Inc.), and universal serial bus (USB).
