patch cables
Patch cables are short, flexible wires used to connect different devices within a network, such as computers, switches, or routers. They are typically color-coded for easy identification and have connectors—like RJ45 plugs—that fit into ports on networking equipment. Patch cables help transmit data signals quickly and reliably over short distances, ensuring smooth communication between devices in offices, data centers, or home networks. They are essential for setting up or maintaining wired network connections, providing a stable and high-speed link for internet access, file sharing, and other network activities.
