In an age of wireless technology, there is still widespread use of wires
and cables for a variety of applications. Modern electronic devices,
equipment and machines are powered by electricity and batteries. There
is often a need to make connections that transmit electrical current as
well as other signals used for telecommunication. For example, fiber
optic cables need to be connected to specific terminals in the walls of a
building.
Every cable provider usually has unique terminals that could only be
connected with equipment and accessories that are supplied by the
company. In other words, there are safety measures taken to prevent the
theft of telecommunication services. It may be very difficult to "steal"
TV and internet service by connecting certain cables and wires. Fiber
optic cables are designed to be screwed into cable boxes and DVRs.
Special torque wrenches and other tools are used to screw and unscrew
different types of cables.
Adapters are needed to make specific connections between digital devices
and other terminals. For example, surveillance cameras use several
different cables that transmit audio and video signals onto hard drives.
Attentuators are types of adapters that are used for cable connections
and diversion of different telecommunication lines. Different adapters
are essentially designed to handle various frequencies on the
electromagnetic scale. The frequencies may correspond to audio signals
and other types of signals used for telecommunication or data
transmission. Business can shop for cable adapters that can be connected
to modems, surveillance systems and other modern digital hardware.
