Ethernet Cables Can Do More Than Boost Your Home Internet
Key Takeaways
- Engadget notes that Ethernet cables can gain a second life with add-ons rather than serving only as home internet upgrades.
- Power over Ethernet injectors and splitters let a single cable carry both data and electrical power to cameras, access points and small computers.
- Adapters such as USB-to-Ethernet and converters extend a cable's usefulness to devices that lack a native network port.
- Extenders and baluns repurpose twisted pairs to carry HDMI, USB or audio signals over cheaper copper across longer distances.
