What type of cable adapter do I need for my organization?

Cable adapters are usually used to convert one type of connector to another. It’s rare that every single device or piece of office equipment connected to your system and network will fit perfectly without the need for an adapter at some point.

There are four types of cable adapters:

Coaxial cable adapters are used by cable and telephone operators for voice or TV services.
RCA cable adapters are sometimes leveraged to carry audio and video signals between devices.
HDMI cable adapters are often used to connect one device such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop to a television, projector, and other output devices.
USB cable adapters connect a device that uses a USB cable to the power supply. They can also be used to extend the length of a USB cable and connect two cables together.

Using new devices with older cables or vice versa?

A USB-C to HDMI cable adapter is the perfect solution for people with newer laptops and phones that don't have an HDMI port. If you have an older device with a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt port, you’ll need a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable adapter. A quick chat with an expert at Connection will ensure you have all the right cables, adapters, and accessories that will get your organization up and running with the latest in cable technology.
