Cables dealers and distributors in India
Alternatively called a cord, connector or plug, a cable is one or more wires covered in plastic that transmit power or data between devices or locations. The picture is an example of what the power cord may look like for your computer or monitor. The power cord is one example of thousands of other cables found in and around computers.
Computer cables are mainly classified into two types: data cables and power cables. Data cables enable communication between devices, such as DVI, HDMI, VGA, USB, SATA, IDE/EIDE, and CAT5, commonly used for connecting monitors, storage devices, and networks. Power cables supply electricity to devices—for example, the main power cord for a computer or internal Molex cables for components like hard drives. These cables are essential for the proper operation of computers and electronic devices.
