Surge protectors, or power strips, are great for providing extra outlets for all of your gadgets, home computing, and entertainment devices. Surge protectors also serve as protection for all of your favorite electrical equipment in the case of a sudden power surge, the kind that can happen during a storm or spike in voltage. Even if you don’t need the extra outlets, Cables Plus urges you to plug your most important computing devices into a power strip and save the life of your electronics. Although today’s computers and cable devices are sophisticated, they still cannot withstand a sudden surge of power and leaving your devices plugged into a regular outlet leaves them vulnerable to voltage spikes.
Surge protectors work by diverting the extra voltage to the grounding wire with the strip. Like all things, the technology around surge protection has grown over the years and there are now four basic levels of power strips available to consumers. Cables Plus offers surge protectors ranging in price to fit every need - whether you are business or residential. We recognize that no matter what information is being stored on your machine, its value is critical to you and we take data preservation very seriously. Today’s computers offer more than just entertainment or word processing and its worth the investment in surge protection to save your expensive equipment.
Power surges can happen at any time: whether its lightening from a storm, running high voltage household appliances, downed power lines, bad wires, or even problems with your equipment. Don’t take a chance with your electronics, save them with power strips.
Copper cables have been a long standing staple in the IT industry and copper technology is involved in just about every device connector. Cable reliability is extremely important as the analog signal that travels through the cable is sensitive to interference and interruption. Providing a quality connection with reliability that service providers can depend on, copper cables from Cables Plus delivery a high rate of connectivity and have proven over the years exactly why they are a mainstay in communications.
There are two general types of copper cables:Coaxial and Twisted Pair Wire. We will discuss both, in brief, below:
Coaxial cable is the preferred choice for high-speed transmission demands such as Ethernet networks and service providers dispatching broadband internet access to customers. Coaxial cable is made up of one copper conductor wrapped in a screen with any gaps between the two filled with an insulating plastic layer called a dielectric layer. Because of this layer, coaxial cable has superior electric capabilities which make it the perfect vessel for transmitting high-speed communications.
Twisted Pair Wire remains the most common copper cable choice today due to its simple construction, widespread availability, and low cost. Twisted pair wire is typically a pair 4 wire cable encased in plastic to protect the wire, and can come with or without a metal screen. Don’t be fooled though, twisted pair wire comes in many different types and isolation layers each offering varying performance. Twisted pair wire installers must consider the correct isolation layer for the job, and weigh these against resistance, capacitance, and attenuation which all affect the quality of the data transmission.
Whatever the job, Cables Plus USA has every copper cable to fit your needs and we handle custom orders as well.

Today’s homes usually have more than one computer in them. Although mom and dad may share a computer, Junior probably has his own, and if you have grandparents or other family living with you, chances are they have their own computer too. Many families now have one person teleworking from home and will probably have a computer dedicated to connecting with the office. That leaves alot of cables, wires, and hardware all jumbled about. If you’re tired of taking turns to get on the ‘Net, or waiting for someone to finish printing a large document before you can print out your spreadsheets for work - home networking is for you.
Home networks work much the same as you’ve experienced in an office or school environment. The advantages of home networking offer faster speeds, more than one computer accessing the Internet at a time, and sharing/connecting to peripherals like printers and scanners.
Wireless or ethernet cables provide two of the fastest and most popular ways to set up your home network and getting it going is easier - even cheaper - than you think. Once you’ve joined computers at your home and you no longer have to patiently wait for your turn online, you’ll be glad you made the investment and effort.
