HDMI cables allow you to connect a large TV or screen to a digital signal source, whether we are talking about a cable, computer, laptop or other receiver. Although it may seem trivial, these products must be chosen carefully, especially if we have a specific set up situation or budget. The first and most important detail we must take into consideration is the length of such a cable. Most HDMI cables have dimensions from 1.5 to 3 or 5 meters. Of course, there are also longer cables, but they are needed only rarely, and their cost is considerably higher. Picking up a high speed with ethernet 50 ft hdmi cable comes with inconveniences. Like many video, audio and data cables, HDMI cords can suffer from signal degradation at longer lengths— 50 feet is generally considered the maximum reliable length. Even online, cables more than 50 feet long can be hard to find. Look for them at IEC. It is well known that a longer cable has a larger mass and diameter because it must ensure the qual...

HDCP has to do with digital rights management protocols, which exist to protect content creators against piracy. There are different protocols for different companies and industries, but premises remain the same: DRM blocks some purchases you make for yourself and your devices. If you make a movie purchase on iTunes and you are allowed to play it only on devices with your account, you have DRM protection. Developed by Intel, HDCP is used with many other digital video standards besides HDMI, such as Digital Visual Interface and DisplayPort. What does it do? - It provides an encrypted connection between a Blu-ray player, streaming device or other content output device on one end and a receiving device (such as an HDTV or audio receiver). HDCP is everywhere and is embedded in most devices we use these days, such as Blu-ray players or satellite TV receivers, as well as on streaming video devices such as Chromecast or Amazon Fire TV. It is also embedded in laptops, DVRs and other HDMI cab...

When it comes to computers/laptops, the most common cause for the absence of the sound is usually associated with the sound card driver. Even if there are all the drivers installed in the computer, the volume icon appears in the notification area and in Device and the sound card is recognized, it does not mean that the drivers are also installed correctly.   So, to troubleshoot audio issues, you should look online at technical forums, like IEC , to find answers to this problem. You can also try the following operations as well: If you know the type of motherboard you have, download the sound driver for your model from the official site of the manufacturer. Or, if you have the CD with the drivers for your motherboard, you will find there your sound driver. If you do not know the type of motherboard you have, and you are not skilled enough in computers to find out either, you can use a driver-pack, which is a set of drivers with automatic installation. This method is useful espe...

HDMI is not only the acronym of the cables we use for connectivity, but also the standard that currently defines the technology. HDMI cables can be standard or high speed, with or without an Ethernet connection. An HDMI hub or splitter can be used to transmit video signal to multiple monitors. Starting with standard 1.3, these cables have an Ethernet connection included. Another important function of HDMI is the ARC (Audio Return Channel), which allows the transfer of sound from the source to a receiver. Previously, such a process was carried out using a separate cable. Standard HDMI cable This type is designed to reliably support streaming at a max. resolution of 1080i (1920x1080). HD resolutions are generally associated with cable and satellite TV, HD digital transmission, and up scaling DVD players.   High speed HDMI cable This type of HDMI cable is tested to handle 1080p video resolution and beyond. It includes advanced display technologies (3D, 4K and Deep Color). If yo...

Are you looking for a practical and elegant solution for storing and accessing your IT equipment? If yes, it was created a standardized metal wall mount rack of 19" (23" versions are also available but they are not as common, so we will exclude them from this material). Installing IT equipment in a wall mounted rack You must use two pairs of vertical L rails profile (one in each corner of the cabinet, facilitating the 4 point support of the equipment), provided with square holes for fixing the screws. These rails are present along the height of the rack, representing the only way to mount equipment and accessories in there. The standard width is 19 inches for all models (except 23 inch models) but the depth and height may vary; in some rack models, the depth is adjustable. For other equipment that was not intended for rack mounting but their size allows this, there are a few accessories available that will help. The way of introducing the equipment with rack mounting sy...

Controlling and organizing cables in your house or business helps prevent accidents and ensures a neat and more organized aspect of your home. Reasons to keep your cables organized you will find them easier when you need them you will prevent domestic accidents you will prevent dust deposits they will not get tangled and you will know each cable separately from where it comes from you will have more space to unfold Different suggestions to keep your cords and cables organized Use a multiple plug Try using multiple plugs that will help you save a lot of space, especially in the kitchen or living room, where you need to keep your cabinets and countertops free.

These tubes are flexible and long, and you can store in there several thin cables. Hide excess cables If the cables in you...

Cables, adapters and connectivity in general when it comes to computers pose problems even to the most experienced users because the technology evolves very quickly and new standards appear each year, replacing the old ones. Very few interfaces have been used for more than 15 years (with the notable exception of the 3.5mm audio jack).  Talking to  knowledgeable custom cable manufacturers is the best way to explore different cable options, and decide what will work best for your business. Here are some cables that we saw disappearing or we will witness their eventual demise, as the USB keeps getting better. The parallel port When IBM launched the PC computer in 1981, the parallel port was an alternative to the (slower) serial port for connecting more efficient (at that time) matrix printers. If, at first, the printer was the only peripheral connected to the parallel port, the external connection became more and more a requirement and the parallel port became the main way o...
