Over the past thirty years, computers have established themselves at the heart of our world. If we're checking into a hotel, ordering a book or seeing the doctor, there will be a computer involved somewhere along the line. Probably several. Even in these days of ethernet, Wi-Fi and "the cloud", there is plenty of hard information whizzing about. Little electrical impulses zipping along wires to tell us when our train is due to depart, how much a book has cost us, or which form our child will be in. In the nineteenth century it was the canals, in the twentieth century it was the roads, in the twenty-first century it is computer network cabling that carries the hard product of our economy.

Computer network cabling offers a variety of options to match your individual needs, requirements and preferences. Booted, non-booted and moulded cables are available. Booting a computer network cable makes it easier to remove from a bundle, whilst offering it added strain relief. A snag-free tab surrounds the end of the cable.

Non-booted, or %u201Cstandard%u201Dis suited for situations where multiple cables have to be plugged in close together. The server stack of a busy organisation can be a bird%u2019s nest of tangled cables and non-booted computer network cabling allows multiple cables to be fitted into sockets very close together. The squeezable design also makes it simple to plug in and out.

Moulded computer network cabling is similarly easy to plug in and out. Here, the rubber cover of the wire is continued into the plug, providing additional strain relief without making the wire too bulky. The pay off is that moulded computer network cabling does not have the snag-free tab of a booted cable, so may be slightly more difficult to remove from a bundle.

If you are not extremely concerned about space but nevertheless require the strength of a moulded assembly and the snag-free tab of booted computer network cabling, then moulded snagless cables can combine the best of both worlds. This strong and snag-free design is well suited for those who're often have to build and take apart their computer set up, e.g. travelling businessmen, IT experts and specialists, etc.

Computer network cabling are available in a range of colours. This may sound like a minor detail, but the colouring of your cables has a number of notable uses. If the cabling is going to be on show, then the choice of colours can be an important aesthetic choice. The front desk of a blue chip company doesn%u2019t want to be messed up with multi-coloured cables lying all over the place. While efforts can be made to hide the computer network cabling away as much as possible, muted or smart can help render them inconspicuous. If your computer network cabling is hidden away in a server room, colouring can help organise cables. Any IT specialist can tell you that a server room can quickly and easily become a jungle of hanging veins/cables; a clear and simple colour code can help make sense of the mess.

So, it may not be exciting and it may not seem a priority, but computer network cabling is a practical necessity. Getting the wrong cable may not be the end of the world, but it does look smart and make your life that little be simpler: not to mention saving your poor fingers as you struggle to plug fiddly cables in and out.
