Network cables
In our network cables category, you will find a comprehensive selection of both fibre optic cables and copper cables. These high-quality accessories are offered by top brands such as digitec, LogiLink, Ubiquiti, Primewire, and Lindy. Each brand provides a range of options tailored to different networking needs, ensuring you can find the ideal cable for your setup. From Ethernet patch cables to specialized network cables, the variety here caters to both professional and personal network installations, guaranteeing reliable and fast connections.
Network cables fall into two primary subtypes: fibre optic cables and copper cables. Fibre optic cables are known for their high-speed data transmission over long distances, thanks to their use of light signals. They are ideal for backbone connections and high-bandwidth applications, offering minimal signal loss and electromagnetic interference. Copper cables, on the other hand, such as Ethernet patch cables, are more commonly used for shorter distances. These come in various categories like CAT6a which supports speeds of up to 10 Gbps over 100 meters. Copper cables are versatile for everyday networking tasks, including plugging into routers, switches, and computers.
When selecting the perfect network cable, consider key properties such as cable category, colour, shielding type, plug connectors, and country of origin. For instance, a CAT6a cable is suitable for high-speed network environments. Cable colour might seem trivial, but it's helpful for organization and easy identification among multiple cables. Shielding (like S/FTP) is crucial for preventing electromagnetic interference, ensuring a stable connection. LWL plug connectors, such as LC-LC, are typical for fibre optic setups, providing secure and effective data transmission. Lastly, the country of origin, such as Germany, might influence your decision if you prefer cables that align with specific manufacturing standards. Use these properties to refine your search and find a network cable that matches your exact requirements.
