Cables & Connectors

Cables and Connectors are the physical media used to transmit power and signal to the various types of devices and control in any industrial system. An electrical connector is an electro-mechanical device used to join electrical terminals and create an electrical circuit. Electrical connectors consist of plugs (male-ended) and jacks (female-ended). An electrical cable is an assembly of one or more wires running side by side or bundled, which is used to carry electric current. Different types of industrial applications use different types of cable, such as coaxial cable for radio frequency and twisted pair cable for serial communication.

Wires & Cables

Wire and cables are networking hardware used to connect one network device to other network devices, or to connect two or more computers to share printers, scanners etc. Different types of network cables, such as coaxial cable, optical fiber cable and twisted pair cables are used, depending on the network's physical layer, topology and size.

Connectors

A connector is an electro-mechanical device used to join electrical terminals and create an electrical circuit. Electrical connectors consist of plugs (male-ended) and jacks (female-ended). The connection may be temporary, as for portable equipment, require a tool for assembly and removal, or serve as a permanent electrical joint between two wires or devices. An adapter can be used to effectively bring together dissimilar connectors.
