Monday, March 31st, 2008

At long last, Display Link has officially come out with their Mac driver for the Usb External Video Card.

One of the very few drawbacks of owning certain Macs is that it is nearly impossible to add extra monitors. For machines that you can’t open or install new cards in, like the Mac Mini or [...]

USB Extension Cable

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

I am a strong advocate of cheap, affordable USB extension cables for a number of reasons, all of which I like to believe are well-grounded. Reason number one: the device cables that accompany my purchase of any given piece of technology are rarely, if ever, long enough. Given that USB is my data interface of choice for all my [...]

USB to DVI External Video Card, High Resolution, 1600 x 1200

This USB to DVI external video card is amazing! This lets you use two monitors at once (at least!) which is very convenient.

This makes it [...]

Cat5e Bulk cable

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

Why would you want to use more than one color of the Cat5e bulk cable?
We don’t have them yet, but shortly we will have multiple colors of the bulk cable to offer. Different colors can especially come in handy when wanting to provide internet to multiple computers in different locations at the office at once. It [...]

Long Firewire 4 pin Cables

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

Firewire has a cable limit of 15′ without a repeater. If you are coming from a powered 6 pin firewire port, (like those on desktop computers) repeater cables like our SW-1101 are a simple and inexpensive solution.
If you have a 4 pin port on your computer, (or an un-powered 6 pin port) then the [...]

Expression through Modulation

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

Modular adapters can be a technician’s dream. Imagine yourself having to troubleshoot devices and having to carry a variety of cable to match individual devices. It can be tedious and back breaking to have such a large array of cables. That’s why there is such a great advantage to something like the DB9 Modulator [...]

Mini HDMI

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

Just when you thought you had a grasp on modern technology, another new standard is introduced. In the near future (?) you’ll begin seeing plugs in camcorders and other A/V devices that none of your other cables will fit in.
