Patch cables and surge protection equipment is commonly used where lots of computers and electronic devices are all housed together. A patch cable is an electrical or optical cable that is used to connect one electronic or optical device to another to route a signal. Patch cables connect all hardware destinations on a local area network (LAN). They are available in a wide range of colours, lengths and sizes for different uses and having different colours makes them easily recognisable. If you have a large number of devices that you need various patch cables for you can then use the same colour cable for each device connection such a blue for modems. Patch cables vary in length and short cables are available for use in stacked devices.
There are a number of different types of patch cables for different uses. You can get microphone patch cables, headphone cables, RCA connector cables and modular Ethernet cables. Other types of patch cables include ones to carry video or amplified signals and these are usually thicker than other types of patch cables. Wherever you are using patch cables you are also likely to need surge protection devices. Power surge protection equipment will stop power surges, spikes and lighting strikes from damaging your equipment and causing fires. Surge protection devices come in a range of different designs and can be bought to accommodate varying numbers of plugs depending on your requirements. Most will have safety features such as safety shutters to protect children.
Patch cables vary in price with one metre cables staring at very low prices. The longer the cable length the more you will pay for patch cables so only purchase cables as long as you need them. Patch cables are used for networked computers and are vital for connecting different devices together. It is advisable to have spares in stock in case you get a faulty cable as you most probably relay on these for many of your systems to function correctly.
