Welcome to Show Me Cables. Today we’ll be taking a look at handset cords. Handset cords are not quite as popular or available now that everyone has a cell phone. And finding them in stores can be difficult, if not impossible. That’s where show me cables comes in. We offer handset cords in lengths of 6 FT, 12 FT, 25 FT and 50 FT. What can be confusing about of handset cords is that the lengths are given based on the total length of cord used, which is not the same as the coiled length. The 6 FT cord measures 1 FT coiled. This length is quite short and should only be used when needing a very short distance between your equipment. The 12 FT cord measures 2 FT coiled. This is the most standard for desk use and reaches comfortable from a table or desk. The 25 FT cord measures 4 FT coiled. This is helpful when needing a little extra room to move around while on the phone. And the 50 FT cord measures 8 FT coiled. This cord is quite long and should only be used when needing a lot of distance between equipment. We also offer handset cords in a variety of colors: Flat Black, Gloss Black, Dark Gray, Cisco Gray, Gray, Light Gray, White, Cherry Red, Brown, IT Ash, NT Ash, Off White and Beige. Our handset cords come in either a 1.5 or 4 inch flat leader. The leader is the small uncoiled piece at the end of the cord for plugging into your phone. 1.5 inch is the most common and can be used easily with most standard telephones. The 4 inch is used for phones that have a recessed phone jack or more hard to reach places. Hopefully this has cleared up any confusion you may have had on handset cords.

Hello, and welcome to Show Me Cables. Today we’ll be taking a look at VGA cables. VGA is a video only signal, meaning no audio. Unfortunately, VGA is slightly outdated due to HDMI, but it is still widely used and provides great signal strength. This is our Premium line of VGA cables. They feature gold plated contacts, double shielded twisted pairs, and ferrite beads for maximum signal quality. The ferrite beads filter out electric interference, allowing for excellent signal integrity at distances up to 150 feet. Our cables are made using true 15 pin connection, offering the full capabilities that VGA has to offer. They are available in lengths ranging from 3 FT to 150 FT and in Male to Male and Male to Female orientations. Hopefully this has answered any questions you may have had on VGA cables. If you’re still having trouble or have any questions not answered here, you can call our customer service department at 888-519-9505.

Hello, and welcome to Show Me Cables. Today, we’ll be taking a look at how to install a BNC clamp connector. This is the BNC Male Clamp connector for RG58 PVC. The connector consists of the connector housing, (2) washers, one regular and one thin, a grommet, a plastic spacer, a metal spacer, a locking bolt, and a pin. For this installation you will need: RG58 cable, a coax stripper, soldering iron and solder, a couple of wrenches, and the BNC connector. Start by inserting the locking bolt over the jacket. Then the regular sized washer. And the grommet. Strip the cable jacket using the coax stripper and remove the jacket and dielectric. Then insert the metal spacer and slide up the grommet, washer, and bolt. Insert the thin washer after that. And then the plastic spacer. And finally, the pin. At this point, the assembly should look like this. Now it’s time to solder. If you have an adjustable soldering iron, it is recommended to use a very low setting as the pin is seated very close to the plastic spacer and you do not want to melt it. Please use caution. Once soldering is complete, insert the connector housing. Slide up the locking bolt and hand tighten. Then, finish tightening using the wrenches. Congratulations, you have successfully installed the BNC Male Clamp connector. If you still have any questions, you can call our customer service department at 888-519-9505.

Hello, and welcome to Show Me Cables. Today we’ll be taking a look at VGA cables. VGA is a video only signal, meaning no audio. Unfortunately, VGA is slightly outdated due to HDMI, but it is still widely used and provides great signal strength. Our VGA with audio cables, however, include a 3.5mm audio cable run alongside the VGA cable. So it is a separate cable carrying the audio channel. The cables are available in lengths from 3 FT to 100 FT for standard PVC jacketed cables. And from 25 FT to 200 FT for plenum cables. Quick note on plenum, plenum cables have no affect on the signal quality of your VGA cable. It is a specialty rated jacket for cables being run in plenum air spaces like drop ceiling. Unless it is required by your building inspector, you likely do not need plenum cable. All of our cables are shielded to ensure maximum signal integrity for both your audio and video needs. Hopefully this has answered any questions you may have had on VGA cables.

Hello, and welcome to Show Me Cables. Today we’ll be taking a look at VGA cables. VGA is a video only signal, meaning no audio. Unfortunately, VGA is slightly outdated due to HDMI, but it is still widely used and provides great signal strength. This is our Low Profile VGA cable. The cables are fully shielded and include ferrite beads for maximum signal strength and quality. Not to mention that the low profile cables are 70% smaller than your standard VGA cable. Perfect for installs where space is an issue or just to help de-clutter your cables. The low profile cables are available in sizes ranging from 3 FT to 25 FT. Hopefully this has answered any questions you may have had on VGA cables.

Hello and welcome to Show Me Cables. Today, we’ll be taking a look at wiring splitters. This is the 10/100 BaseT wiring splitter with 04 wiring. Before we get into the features and applications I want to clear up a common area of confusion. The wiring splitters need to be used in pairs. They will not work to split 1 Ethernet signal into 2 signals. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get into how the splitters work. The wiring splitter features two female RJ45 ports and a short 6 inch cable with a male RJ45 plug. For anyone not entirely clear on RJ45’s. RJ45 is the larger plug found on Ethernet cables, not the smaller plug, known as RJ11 or RJ12 that you would find on a telephone cord. The splitter also has the option to be easily wall mounted and includes the necessary mounting screws. How it works, is that it will allow you to take 2 ethernet signals from your source. Let’s say a modem, switch, or router. So that’s 2 cables coming from your source. Then, you can plug the 2 source cables into the splitter, combining both signals into a single cable. This is typically done at a wall plate or patch panel. Your signals are then carried across a single line and up to your output wall plate, where you will plug in your second wiring splitter. And finally, take 2 more Ethernet cables to connect from the 2nd wiring splitter into the two devices that need data. To recap: You will take two Ethernet cables from your source into the splitter. Your signal is run across a single line. Then it is split back out from the second wiring splitter and out to your devices. Now, you may be asking why even bother? Why do I need two wiring splitters if I can just run two cables? Well it actually can be a life saver in projects where a 2nd data line needs to be added, but only a single cable has been run in wall. Instead of running an entire new length of cable in the wall, you can simply connect the lines with a couple wiring splitters a
