Hook It Up with Peripheral Cables
Peripheral cables are the cables that connect your computer to its various peripheral devices, from printers to webcams to external hard drives and so many more. The definition can also encompass other cable types, like audio and video cables and cable adapters. So, while they might not be the most fun or exciting part of the computer experience, peripheral cables are crucial for all kinds of things.
Our array of peripheral cables in stock includes everything from USB C and USB A cables to HDMI, DisplayPort, and more. Whatever type of devices you need to connect, we have got the cables to help you do it!
What Kinds of Peripheral Cables Do You Need?
First, establish what kinds of connectors are present on your devices. These are some of the most common connector types that you will find in our array of peripheral cables:
USB A: The classic rectangular USB connector is still used on tons of different devices, so it is always a good idea to keep a few USB A cables around. Need improved data transfer speeds? Grab a USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 cable.
USB C: The newest type of USB connector, with a slim reversible design and significantly faster data speeds. USB C sometimes supports additional standards, such as Power Delivery which allows it to act as a power connector for larger devices and Thunderbolt 4 which can act as an HD display cable.
HDMI: One of the most popular standards for HD displays, with updates like HDMI 2.1 continually setting a high bar for visual fidelity.
DisplayPort: This competitor to HDMI also offers strong performance specs and numerous display options.
RJ11 RJ45: Two different types of telecom connectors. RJ11 is a telephone line, while RJ45 is an Ethernet connector.
We also offer a wide variety of other cables, including:
Extension Cables and Splitter Cables: Need to send your signal somewhere else or split it in two? These cables are often key pieces for networking.
Adapter Cables: These devices act as converters between one cable type and another, such as converting a USB A connector into a USB C. These cables might be necessary if you have a certain power adapter.
Older Connectors: We also offer cables for a variety of older connector types, including USB Mini-B, FireWire, VGA, and DVI. If you are dealing with some older equipment, these peripheral cables can be a lifesaver.
