While fiber optic connectors and equipment are not quite a new form of technology, they have found increasing popularity and implementation in recent years through widespread adoption across many industries and applications. In order to install fiber optics within various settings and systems, adapters may be required in order to establish connections. As there are a variety of panels, systems, and components that fiber optic connectors may be paired with, there are multiple adapter types that one may choose from. To help you find the perfect solution for your applications, we will discuss the main types of fiber optic adapters that you may choose from. Read more >>

Thermistors, or thermally sensitive resistors, are ceramic semiconductors that are capable of exhibiting a resistance change in response to shifts in temperature. Commonly used as temperature sensors for applications ranging from refrigerators to aerospace applications, thermistors are an important component for countless systems. To help you better understand the functionality of thermistors, their types, and their benefits, we will discuss them more in detail in this blog. Read more >>

Electronics have quickly become the backbone of countless processes in our daily lives, allowing us to easily communicate over long distances, improve work productivity, have instant access to news, and so much more. Despite electronics coming in various shapes and forms, almost all rely on conductor and cable components that ensure their proper functionality. These components, alongside many other electronic parts, are often sensitive to strain which results from bending, pulling, tugging, or sheathing. As strain can quickly degrade the health of various components, it can be very useful to have a basic understanding of cable strain relief and protection. Read more >>

While many are familiar with how peripherals such as mice and keyboards may be used to control a single computer, some may not know that such devices can extend control over multiple computers simultaneously. Commonly being relied on for data centers, the simultaneous management of multiple devices can permit a more efficient workflow if the same task needs to be conducted for multiple devices. To make such control possible, a hardware device known as a KVM switch is used. Read more >>

While wireless internet and network connectivity has become widespread and commonly used by many, ethernet switches still remain an integral part of most data networks. As the most common form of network switch, ethernet switches may range in size with small to large variations being available, and they are also found in industrial control settings where they can excel with their robust performance qualities. In this blog, we will go over ethernet switches and how they assist the various networking devices and electronic hardware that they are implemented in. Read more >>
