that are found in different industries and applications are as
Below:
Electrical Power supply

Electrical connectors are devices designed for
join in electrical circuits as an interface using
mechanical assembly. Connectors usually consist
of plugs which are considered masculine and
jacks that are considered as femine due to the
functions they perform.
Electrical adapters are mainly used to bring
together various connectors that are not similar in
nature. Connectors can be known as physical
interfaces in computing. Before settling on the
right type of connectors, customers should
consider factors like the pin out and physical
construction, size, ruggedness, resistence to
vibration, insulation between pins and contact
resistence of the connectors used.

Power supply electrical cables and connectors
can be referred to as types of electronic devices
that supply electrical energy to a load in an
electric based system.
Power supplies are composed od power
inputs that receive energy from the energy
source and power outputs that deliver energy to
the set load.

Fiber optic cables is a type of technology that
uses flexible, transparent fibre made of glass or
silica to transmit data. Fibre optic power
connectors and cables are used instead of
metal as they permit signals to travel through
them with less loss. Fibre optic cables used
usually comprise off ibres that are immune to
electromagnetic interference which may temper
with signals in cases of metal.
Optical fibre cables or connectors can be used as
a mean softele communication or computer
networking due to their flexible nature that allows
them to be bundled as cables.

Power distribution systems are considered as the
last stage in the delivery of electric power as they
carry electricity from the transmission systems to
individual consumers. Electrical cables that range
in terms of size, density, thickness and nature of
use are essential in carrying electric charges
from these systems.
Power distribution systems make use of
transformers that lower and regulate electric
voltage to the right amount for safe consumption
by consumers.

Data transmission cables can be refered to as
digital transmission or digital communication.
Data transmission is the transfer of physical data
from one point to another using various
channels also known as electrical connectors.
Data transmission channels include copper
wires, optical fibres, storage media, wireless
communication channels among others.

The act of controlling in electricity may be
defined as the act of directing the behavior of
electrical charges to achieve intended
outcomes. Elements such as electrical cables,
wires, switches, transformers among others
have a huge role to play in terms of controlling
the amount of current produced.
Control can be used to produce a right balance
between the available electrical energy and the
total amount of energy an electrical appliance or
machinery can be able to handle.

9. F l e x i b l e c a b l e s a n d
c o n n e c t o r s
Flexible cables and connectors can be used to
join electrical circuits or devices enabling the
transfer of electric signals between them.
These allow humans to interact
with computer systems and various equipment.
The flexible nature of these cables and
connectors make them easy and able to be used
in processes that entail a lot of bending of
cables and connectors. Flexible cables and
connectors can be wound round objects hence
saving on space in equipment or machinery they
are used in.

10. H a l o g e n f r e e c a b l e s a n d
c o n n e c t o r s Halogen free cables and connectors are also
known as zero halogen cabling. These cables
ban be used in interface devices to reduce or
limit the amount of toxic gases that may be
produced if the normal cables used instead
come into contact with heat generated in the
process.
Standard cables are mainly made up of halogen
based insulation hence their contact with heat is
likely to produce poisonous gases that pose
health risks to interface equipment users.
Halogen free cables and connectors are
relatively easier to dispose as their consumption
produces low toxicity and low smoke as
compared to standard cables that can produce
great amounts of smoke and fumes.

11. C o a x i a l c a b l e s a n d
c o n n e c t o r s
Coaxial cables are at times referred to as coax
cables or coax connectors. These types of
cables and connectors used in interface
devices are comprised of inner conductors
surrounded by tubular insulating layers and
tubular conducting shields. They are
mainly used as transmission lines for radio
frequencies that are mainly required by
interface devices to be either coded or
encoded to best fit the intended purpose.
Coaxial cables and connectors are used in a
wide range of electrical interface
devices including feed lines linking radio
transmitters and receivers to their antennas,
computer network connections and distributing
cable television signals as well as paid
television signals.

12. H e a t i n g c a b l e s
These types of cables can come in handy in
interface devices that undergo extreme
temperatures in terms of hotness or
coldness. Constant-wattage heating
cables are used in interfaces that require a
specific constant temperature and work under
the fixed temperatures. Heating cables used in
normal day to day interfaces are meant to
protect equipment against cold related
problems that are bound to arise.
These types of electric cables normally
maintain temperatures of user interfaces and
can be used in tough and dangerous working
conditions making them even comfortable for
individuals using specific interfaces.

13. E l e c t r i c a l c o n n e c t o r s
Wikipedia the free encyclopedia defines
connectors as electro- mechanical devices for
joining electrical circuits as in interfaces using
mechanical assembly. Electrical connectors
usually comprise of plugs considered as
masculine and jacks that are considered
feminine due to their physical rooting abilities.
Electrical connectors may be temporal in
nature when fitted to equipments that require
constant alternation or permanent ones with
electrical joints between two wires or devices
