When setting up a workstation, a gaming PC, or a server room for an enterprise network, you'll need computer cables and adaptors. Data cables, like IDE cables, SAS cables, SATA cables, and SCSI cables, as well as KVM cables, network cables, network Ethernet cables, and fiber optic cables, as well as video cables, such as D-SUB cables, HDMI cables, and DisplayPort cable types, should all be thoroughly researched prior to making a purchase.
There are a number of components in a computer system that are linked together. Some of these components can be plugged straight into the computer's motherboard while others require a cable to connect to the system. Digital cameras, hard drives, mice, and a variety of other devices can be included in this list. Cables such as HDMI, VGA, DVI, Ethernet, PS/2, 3.5 mm audio, USB, and computer power cords are available in a variety of configurations.
Cat5 or Cat5e network Ethernet cables are ideal for connecting computers, servers, and switches to the network and transferring data at high speeds. As a rule of thumb, a cable should be no more than 300 feet long to avoid signal attenuation, or weakening, which can occur when splicing and terminating cable segments. The cable terminal tab is protected from being snapped off by Snagless boots, which prevents the tab from catching on other equipment.
If your computer only has a VGA port and your monitor only has a DVI port, you'll have to figure out a way to make them work together. There are a wide variety of computer adapters that can be used to connect older computers to newer ones. USB to FireWire, DVI to DisplayPort, and so on and so forth are all possible with these converters.
