FAQ

  • What is a 3-phase power cable?

    Three-phase installations are those formed by three different alternating currents that divide the installation into several parts which are reached by a constant power. Their standardized powers are currently adapted to 400 volts. Three-phase has four wires: three actives (called phases) and one neutral.
  • Does the length of the power cable matter?

    There are two factors: cord length and thickness. The thicker the copper wire, the more electricity it can carry. However, because transmitted power diminishes over distance, longer extension cords require heavier wire to deliver the full current rating required by an appliance.
  • What is the difference between a power cord and a power cable?

    These two cables serve similar purposes, but the most important distinction to remember is that a portable cord is designed for temporary power supply, while power cables are usually installed in long-term or permanent applications.
  • What are the three types of power cables?

    For voltages, up to 66 kV, the three core cables that are multicore cables are used.
    · HT cables up to 11 kV level which is belted type.
    · Super tension (ST) cables for 22 kV and 33 kV levels which are screened cables.
    · Extra high tension (EHT) cables for voltage levels from 33 kV to 66 kV which are pressure cables.

  • What is a standard power cable called?

    A standard power cable is commonly referred to as a "power cord" or simply a "power cable." These cables are used to connect electrical appliances and devices to power outlets, providing the necessary electrical power for their operation. Power cords typically consist of insulated wires with plugs at both ends, designed to fit into standard electrical outlets and the power input ports of various devices. They come in different lengths and configurations to suit different applications and electrical requirements.
  • Are thicker power cords better?

    If you are dealing with high-power devices, you are best advised to pick thicker cords. These carry more power safely and will not strain your system. As such, users should always consider power usage when selecting the extension cord.
  • Is it better to run HDMI or DisplayPort?

    The choice between HDMI and DisplayPort depends on your specific needs. HDMI is commonly used for multimedia applications, while DisplayPort offers higher performance and flexibility, especially for professional or gaming setups requiring higher resolutions and refresh rates.
  • Do you lose quality with DisplayPort to HDMI?

    There is normally no loss in quality when using such a dp to HDMI cable. Note however that this simple transition only applies to single-link DVI signals, so up to HD resolution.
  • What is the difference between dp1.4 and dp1.2?

    The DisplayPort 1.4 has a total bandwidth of 32.4 Gbps with a max data rate of up to 25.92 Gbps and supports almost 32 audio channels as well. DisplayPort 1.2 has support for only 8 audio channels and delivers 21.6 Gbps bandwidth and 17.28 Gbps data rates.
  • Are there DisplayPort cable versions?

    DisplayPort cables come in different versions, including 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and 2.0, each offering various features and capabilities such as higher data rates, support for higher resolutions, and advanced display technologies.
  • What DP cable should I buy?

    When choosing a DisplayPort cable, consider factors such as version compatibility with your devices, resolution and refresh rate support, cable length, build quality, and certifications for assurance of compliance with industry standards.
  • Can DP 1.4 do 1080p 144Hz?

    Yes, DisplayPort 1.4 can support 1080p resolution at a 144Hz refresh rate. DisplayPort 1.4 offers sufficient bandwidth to handle high-definition resolutions and fast refresh rates, making it suitable for gaming and multimedia applications requiring smooth and fluid motion.
  • Does DisplayPort give better graphics?

    DisplayPort offers advantages such as higher bandwidth, support for adaptive sync technology, multi-stream transport, and advanced display features, which can contribute to better overall graphics performance compared to other display interfaces like HDMI.
  • Are all DisplayPort 1.4 cables the same?

    All DisplayPort cables support the same features. The primary difference between them is transmission speed. The resolution, color depth, number of monitors, and refresh rate are all dependent on how much data the cable can transmit.
  • Is Mini DP the same as DP?

    The Mini DisplayPort (mini DP or m DP) is a miniaturized and less common version of the DisplayPort audio-visual digital interface.
  • How far can you run a DP cable?

    The maximum length of a DisplayPort (DP) cable depends on various factors, including the version of DisplayPort, cable quality, and resolution/refresh rate requirements. In general:
     
    DisplayPort 1.1 and later versions support cable lengths of up to 15 meters (about 49 feet) without the need for signal boosting or other active measures.
     
    For longer distances, active cables or signal boosters may be required to maintain signal integrity. Active DisplayPort cables can extend the maximum length to 30 meters (about 98 feet) or more, depending on the specific cable and setup.
     
    Fiber optic DisplayPort cables can extend the maximum length even further, up to 100 meters (about 328 feet) or more, making them suitable for long-distance installations in commercial or professional settings.
     
    Ultimately, the maximum length of a DisplayPort cable will depend on your specific requirements and the capabilities of your devices and cable infrastructure. It's essential to choose the right type of cable and consider factors such as resolution, refresh rate, and signal integrity when planning your setup.
  • What types of wall-mounted power supplies are available?

    Wall mount power supplies can be either AC or DC. They come in a range of configurations, depending on the scenario that they’re designed for.
     
    Regulated – Regulated wall mount power supplies feature voltage regulators that ensure the output voltage remains consistent, never deviating from the rated value of the power supply.
     
    Unregulated – Unregulated wall mount power supplies differ in that their output voltage will decrease as the output current increases and vice versa. This means that the power supply must be matched as closely as possible to the voltage and current requirements of the device in question.
     
    Linear – Linear wall mount power supplies convert high-voltage AC into low voltage, which is then converted into DC voltage. Whilst these tend to have low efficiency, they are also more reliable and faster than switching mode power supplies.
     
    Switching mode power supplies – Wall mount switching mode power supplies convert the input signal into DC before stepping down or up the voltage to the required level. These power supplies have high efficiency and are less bulky than their linear counterparts.
  • What are the primary components of a wall mount power supply?

    Depending on its configuration, a wall-mount power supply will typically consist of a transformer, a rectifier, smoothing, a regulator, and a load. The input transformer steps down the AC power, and a rectifier circuit converts the AC components present into DC components. The signal is then smoothed out by a filtering circuit. A regulator controls the voltage to the desired level, before leading to the load which uses the pure DC output from the regulated output.
  • Where are wall mount power supplies used?

    Wall mount power supplies are used in a wide range of industries and applications. They can be designed for use with a full range of input voltages and can output to a similarly wide range of wattages. Linear wall mount power supplies are typically used in audio frequency applications due to their immunity to RFI. Meanwhile, wall mount switch mode power supplies are used in phone chargers and DC motors.
  • How do you choose a wall mount power supply?

    In order to choose the right wall mount power supply for your requirements, you need to first find out where your device needs AC or DC. You’ll usually find the power requirement on the device itself, look for the voltage requirements so that you can ensure you are providing the correct amount of power. Too much or too little power may lead to your device being damaged.
