LAN Cables

A LAN cable is an essential piece of cabling for creating a local area network, allowing various devices to communicate and share data. At Distrelec, we have an impressive range of high-quality LAN cables to suit all budgets. LAN cables are used to help create a high speed wired internet connections, linking computers, printers and routers to create a network. First used in the 1970s, LAN cables are known for their quick data transmission speeds as well as for creating a more stable connection than is often found in a wireless network. They are also less susceptible to interference than other cables, reducing the risk of data interceptions or cyber-attacks. LAN cables consist of eight twisted coloured wires with an RJ-45 lever connector at each end. Both ends of the cable look the same on all LAN cables.
