Advantages: Easy to find connections Disadvantages: fidly if you have lots of them
...As I made known before, I want to review stuff that I have and I have become obsessed - this seems to be a weird product to review but it's listed - so what could one say about these cables?
Firstly - what are they?
These cables connect the drives in your PC to one another and if something doesn't function or you get a "drive not connected" message - then one of these have come loose.
Therefore, before spending money on getting your pc fixed, look inside and check the connections between the drives and the boards.
Note though: do not disconnect them and put them back the wrong way up as the drive or board isn't guarenteed to function (although sometimes it does).
This particular ribboncable is made by a relitavly unknown company but this op. is partly written to inform you that you can trust BELKIN.

Once or twice this is not really an issue, but over time if you constantly change things in your pc, problems will happen.
My issue was that, some of the cable had ether been stretched to much whilst unplugging or bent & snapped inside the rubber casing as I plug them in. This resulted in your hard drive or other devices failing to be detected or causing system reboots.

...) connected to a modem, one via a USB (Universal Serial Bus cable that supports data transfers) and one via an Ethernet Cable (Bus cable supporting data transfers). However with the introduction of a new PC, my machine was moved to a different room, hence the requirement of a longer, Networking cable that could support the data transfer requirements and provide flawless data transmission.
Computers that are linked up to a LAN are connected using Cat-5 Cables. Cat-5 is short for Category 5; the definition for network cabling that consists of four twisted pairs of copper wire terminated by RJ45 Connectors (Registered Jack 45 – an 8 wire computer connector). RJ45 Connectors look very similar to the RJ11 connectors used to connect telephone equipment but they are slightly wider/ Standard Category 5 cabling supports frequencies of 100Mhz and speeds...
