• How to Deal with Network Port Damage

  Network port also known as RJ45 port is the elementary interface for a PC to connect with network. The life span of your network port could be various considering the quality and material of the port and more importantly, the swapping frequency of your network cable to the port. If you encounter problems related to network port damage, what solution can we offer? 1.if you have the ability to open your desktop or laptop and see the motherboard by yourself, the first problem may occur in the pin point of your network port, some of them may break due to the impact or other reasons; welding the break pin point if you got proper tool with you. 2.If the network port is broken, and you can assure that the reason is not about the circuit and pin point, then we need to replace the interface, go to the repair shop, replace your broken port with a new one, this is more troublesome, the cost is also relatively high. 3.The above two solution are based on the situation that you are able to open the shell and inspect the internal structure of your PC and correctly diagnosed the exact problem. If you are not qualified enough to find out the exact reason and resistant to go to the repair shop. The instant and simple solution is to purchase a USB network card for your PC. Normally, USB network card could be divided into several types considering the different USB interface type …

• Is Thunderbolt 3 the Same as USB C?

  Recently, there emerges a new type of the interface whose shape is quite similar to the USB-C while it normally has a ‘flash’ logo nearby. So what is the difference between these two types of the interface? Firstly, we should not confused the notion of USB Type C interface with thunderbolt considering they are totally different types of things. USB Type C is a specific shape of interface which is comparable with USB Type A or USB Type B interface while thunderbolt is a type of protocol that decide the bandwidth or transmission speed of the interface. Thus, thunderbolt should be compared with the protocol such as USB 3.1 or USB 2.0. USB 3.1 protocol, though published with the USB C interface, is not completely complied with the USB C. To put it simple, USB C interface doesn’t necessarily support USB 3.1 and USB 3.1 standard which could also be supported with USB Type A, etc., is not unique for USB Type C interface. Thunderbolt is developed by Intel with the participation of Apple hence the original thunderbolt is restricted to Apple devices. Considering the expensive cost of adopting mini DP interface, to promote the former generation of mini DP is not easy. With the prevalence of USB Type C, Intel decides to remove the mini DP interface with the USB C. In parameters, thunderbolt 3 could realize most function of USB C with a much higher transmission speed(40Gbps bi-direction of thunderbolt 3). The border bandwidth means that this single …

• How to Make a Network Cable

  Network cable is an essential product when we are intended to decorated our new home or arrange the cabling in various circumstances.Comparing to home cabling which only demanded a short distance network cable that most of us are more inclined to buy a ready-made network cable with RJ45 plug, other occasions such as engineer cabling or office cable require a network cable that exceed the normal distance patch cable in the market. When you are placed under this situation, it will be really helpful if you can handle the RJ45 plug installation by yourself. Before the installation, you are advised to purchase a network cable crimping tool. Most of the crimping tool on the market are now 3-in-1 function, which means that it can realized all the three function: stripping, cutting and crimping in one tool. In short, we can divide the installation process into five steps. First of all, it’s about stripping the jacket(insulation layer) of the patch cable. In order to avoid any damage to the internal wire, the operator are suggested to use the crimping tool to cut a light circle first, then slightly rotate the crimping tool to peel off the jacket from the cable and expose the internal wire core. Step two is about arrange the correct sequence of the internal wire which we could inspect 8 different type of metal cables after the stripping. They are made in different colors and color combinations for distinctive recognition: orange, orange+white, green, green+white, blue, blue+white, brown and …

• How Long Can an HDMI Cable Be

  HDMI is the abbreviation for High Definition Multimedia Interface, a digital video/audio interface technology. HDMI cable is the abbreviation for the connection cable between multiple high definition multimedia, which can transmit uncompressed high definition video and multi-channel audio data in high quality. HDMI cable mainly transmits digital signals, the quality of HDMI cables on the market varies, many HDMI cables in the transmission distance of more than 10 meters after the degree of attenuation is more serious, and in the choice of HDMI cable must buy a suitable length for their own, not too long, otherwise it is not conducive to transmission. Attenuation is the HDMI cable receiving device in how many meters can maintain the signal transmission. In fact, attenuation in the case of higher frequencies, the signal will be more attenuated. When using HDMI cables, the main thing to look at is the quality. If the quality is good, pure copper HDMI cables can generally transmit up to 60 meters. Generally speaking, for best results, the recommended HDMI connection length is usually within 15feet (about 4.6m), and certain better quality HDMI cables can do up to 30feet (about 9m). If the quality control of the cable itself is done well (although not necessarily expensive), there are HDMI cables that can achieve 50feet (about 15m) can also work properly. But when it is this long, the situation will become more delicate, you will probably see the display device side of the “flicker” phenomenon. You may also experience a more …

• What is USB

  Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an emerging data communication method that is gradually replacing other interface standards, and was jointly developed by computer and communication companies such as Intel, Compaq, Digital, IBM, Microsoft, NEC and Northern Telecom in 1995. As a high-speed serial bus, the USB bus can meet the requirements of high-speed data transmission application environment with its extremely high transmission speed, and it also has the advantages of simple power supply (bus-powered), easy installation and configuration (supports plug-and-play and hot-swapping), easy port expansion (up to 127 peripherals can be expanded through a hub), diverse transmission methods (4 types of transmission), and a variety of data transmission methods (4 types of transmission). The bus also has the advantages of simple power supply (bus-powered), easy installation and configuration (support for plug-and-play and hot-swappable), easy port expansion (up to 127 peripherals via hub), diverse transmission modes (4 transmission modes), and good compatibility (backward compatibility after product upgrade). Since its introduction, the Universal Serial Bus (USB) has successfully replaced serial and parallel ports as the standard expansion interface and one of the necessary interfaces for a large number of computers and smart devices in the 21st century, and has now evolved to USB version 4.0. USB has the advantages of fast transmission speed, ease of use, support for hot-plugging, flexible connection, independent power supply, etc., and can be connected to keyboards, mice, high-capacity peripherals and other devices. It can be connected to a variety of peripherals such as keyboards, mice, mass storage …
