Frequently asked questions about the Telephone, antenna and computer network accessories category
What are Telephone, antenna and computer network accessories and what are they used for?
Telephone, antenna and computer network accessories are components and cables (RJ45, CAT6, IEC, F-connectors, HDMI, USB) used to connect devices reliably in homes and offices. They provide data and TV signal transmission, ensure compatibility with routers/TVs/computers and improve network stability.
What is the difference between CAT5e RJ45 and CAT6 RJ45 and which should I choose for home?
CAT5e typically supports up to 1 Gbps, while CAT6 offers higher bandwidth and less crosstalk (up to 10 Gbps on short runs). For modern home use with streaming and gaming, choose CAT6 cables and RJ45 connectors.
Are CAT6 Ethernet cables 0.5–20 m suitable for connecting a router and PC in an apartment?
Yes, CAT6 cables between 0.5 and 20 metres are suitable for connecting a router to a PC in an apartment, providing stable data transfer and minimal loss over typical residential distances. Choose a slightly longer cable to avoid tension.
Which antenna connectors and F-connectors do I need to connect a TV to satellite or cable?
TVs commonly use IEC plugs and F-connectors: straight/angled IEC plugs and F adapters (F-female to F-female, F to IEC). The category includes IEC plugs and F adapters in 5-piece packs; choose based on the TV input and cable type.
Can I use a 5.0 m HDMI cable to connect a TV and media player?
