Introduction to :

Cables and connectors

There are many different types of CABLES AND CONNECTORS

that are found in different industries and applications are as

Below:

Electrical Power supply

Fiber optic Power distribution

Data transmission Control

Flexible Halogen free

Coaxial Heating

Electrical connectors

E l e c t r i c a l c a b l e s a n d

c o n n e c t o r s Electrical connectors are devices designed for

join in electrical circuits as an interface using

mechanical assembly. Connectors usually consist

of plugs which are considered masculine and

jacks that are considered as femine due to the

functions they perform.

Electrical adapters are mainly used to bring

together various connectors that are not similar in

nature. Connectors can be known as physical

interfaces in computing. Before settling on the

right type of connectors, customers should

consider factors like the pin out and physical

construction, size, ruggedness, resistence to

vibration, insulation between pins and contact

resistence of the connectors used.

Power supply electrical cables and connectors

can be referred to as types of electronic devices

that supply electrical energy to a load in an

electric based system.

Power supplies are composed od power

inputs that receive energy from the energy

source and power outputs that deliver energy to

the set load.

c o n n e t o r s Fiber optic cables is a type of technology that

uses flexible, transparent fibre made of glass or

silica to transmit data. Fibre optic power

connectors and cables are used instead of

metal as they permit signals to travel through

them with less loss. Fibre optic cables used

usually comprise off ibres that are immune to

electromagnetic interference which may temper

with signals in cases of metal.

Optical fibre cables or connectors can be used as

a mean softele communication or computer

networking due to their flexible nature that allows

them to be bundled as cables.

P o w e r d i s t r i b u t i o n c a b l e s

a n d c o n n e c t o r s Power distribution systems are considered as the

last stage in the delivery of electric power as they

carry electricity from the transmission systems to

individual consumers. Electrical cables that range

in terms of size, density, thickness and nature of

use are essential in carrying electric charges

from these systems.

Power distribution systems make use of

transformers that lower and regulate electric

voltage to the right amount for safe consumption

by consumers.

a n d c o n n e c t o r s

Data transmission cables can be refered to as

digital transmission or digital communication.

Data transmission is the transfer of physical data

from one point to another using various

channels also known as electrical connectors.

Data transmission channels include copper

wires, optical fibres, storage media, wireless

communication channels among others.

C o n t r o l c a b l e s a n d

c o n n e c t o r s The act of controlling in electricity may be

defined as the act of directing the behavior of

electrical charges to achieve intended

outcomes. Elements such as electrical cables,

wires, switches, transformers among others

have a huge role to play in terms of controlling

the amount of current produced.

Control can be used to produce a right balance

between the available electrical energy and the

total amount of energy an electrical appliance or

machinery can be able to handle.

F l e x i b l e c a b l e s a n d

c o n n e c t o r s Flexible cables and connectors can be used to

join electrical circuits or devices enabling the

transfer of electric signals between them.

These allow humans to interact

with computer systems and various equipment.

The flexible nature of these cables and

connectors make them easy and able to be used

in processes that entail a lot of bending of

cables and connectors. Flexible cables and

connectors can be wound round objects hence

saving on space in equipment or machinery they

are used in.

H a l o g e n f r e e c a b l e s a n d

c o n n e c t o r s Halogen free cables and connectors are also

known as zero halogen cabling. These cables

ban be used in interface devices to reduce or

limit the amount of toxic gases that may be

produced if the normal cables used instead

come into contact with heat generated in the

process.

Standard cables are mainly made up of halogen

based insulation hence their contact with heat is

likely to produce poisonous gases that pose

health risks to interface equipment users.

Halogen free cables and connectors are

relatively easier to dispose as their consumption

produces low toxicity and low smoke as

compared to standard cables that can produce

great amounts of smoke and fumes.

C o a x i a l c a b l e s a n d

c o n n e c t o r s Coaxial cables are at times referred to as coax

cables or coax connectors. These types of

cables and connectors used in interface

devices are comprised of inner conductors

surrounded by tubular insulating layers and

tubular conducting shields. They are

mainly used as transmission lines for radio

frequencies that are mainly required by

interface devices to be either coded or

encoded to best fit the intended purpose.

Coaxial cables and connectors are used in a

wide range of electrical interface

devices including feed lines linking radio

transmitters and receivers to their antennas,

computer network connections and distributing

cable television signals as well as paid

television signals.

H e a t i n g c a b l e s

These types of cables can come in handy in

interface devices that undergo extreme

temperatures in terms of hotness or

coldness. Constant-wattage heating

cables are used in interfaces that require a

specific constant temperature and work under

the fixed temperatures. Heating cables used in

normal day to day interfaces are meant to

protect equipment against cold related

problems that are bound to arise.

These types of electric cables normally

maintain temperatures of user interfaces and

can be used in tough and dangerous working

conditions making them even comfortable for

individuals using specific interfaces.

E l e c t r i c a l c o n n e c t o r s

Wikipedia the free encyclopedia defines

connectors as electro- mechanical devices for

joining electrical circuits as in interfaces using

mechanical assembly. Electrical connectors

usually comprise of plugs considered as

masculine and jacks that are considered

feminine due to their physical rooting abilities.

Electrical connectors may be temporal in

nature when fitted to equipments that require

constant alternation or permanent ones with

electrical joints between two wires or devices
