FastCAT5e Networking Cable

Advantages: Quick Installation, Colour co-oridinated, Fast Speeds
Disadvantages: Price Varied

...) 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...

Review of Belkin FastCAT network cable - 10 m

3C905B-COMBO

Advantages: Reduce TCO
Disadvantages: not really for home use

...3Com's excellent network interface card (NIC)certainly cuts the mustart especially for the desktop. It gives 10Mbps over CAT 3, 4 or 5, and 100Mbps for CAT 5. It has the usual RJ45 and BNC connections for ethernet networks. Installation is a dream especially on plug and play operating systems. For the network management freaks among you it has :- 1) Performance Management 2) Network Management (over switched networks) 3) Remote Wake Up (RWU) 4) Desktop Management capabilities. Overall the card is extremely reliable and robust. Advantages: Reduce TCO, Easy installation Disadvantages: could be too costly for the home user...

Review of 3Com 905B Combo 10/100MBit PCI

Never failed me yet

Advantages: reliable and well supported.
Disadvantages: Runs very warm, only has RJ45 socket

...I run several servers, and this is my network card of choice. Never had a problem with this card under FreeBSD, Linux and Windows, and the card has never had any problems with cheap hubs, like so many 100Mbit network cards seem to have. The card is obviously built to last, and has the three usual status lights, Link, Activity and 100Mbit. Card only has RJ45 Cat5 twisted pair socket, like most other 10/100 cards. Anyone who wants a reliable network, a fast card, a card which is supported well under BSD and other operating systems should buy this....

Review of Intel EtherExpress Pro / 100+

Linksys extender

Advantages: Easy to use, good extension
Disadvantages: Website hard to find help on

..., even with a mixed network. The greatest benefit i found for this is that it did not have to be connected via cable! As long as it is in range of the already existing wireless range then it will 'piggyback' it onwards. It can still be plugged in with a CAT5 (Ethernet) cable however if u do not already have wireless. I have not encountered and crashing or other negative effects. I just needed a bit of help for linksys website, which was a bit hard to navigate. I ended up leaving their site and using a forum. It turned out my problem was just my silly own mistake...oops....

Review of Linksys Wireless-G Range Expander WRE54G

fast LAN

Advantages: fast, allows shared broadband, different lengths, cheap
Disadvantages: none

...I needed to set up a quick and easy LAN network at home so that both my home computer and my laptop could use my broadband internet connection. You see this cable is a CAT 5E which means that it allows broadband to be shared where as normal CAT 5 cable does not surport broadband only regular internet. This cable also is a RJ45 (male) cable well actaully its male to male which means that it will fit into most LAN cards and routers. Some LAN cards only use female ends though i havent found one of these yet. The cable also has a 300 MHZ (some have got 500 MHZ)bandwith which allows quick file sharing among the computers, i havent even noticed any lag one the internet either. The cable does come in a range of sizes from little 3 ft one to the massive 24 ft one i use at mt home, the cable is rather thick and hard to hide espically...

Review of Belkin patch cable - 2 m

you animal you've been milking the cat.

Advantages: good laugh
Disadvantages: none really

...Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro are the main foci of this comedy. Stiller plays a Jewish male nurse aiming to marry his schoolteacher girlfriend. In order to do so however he has to seek the permission of his prospective father in law, played by De Niro. Stiller gets off to a bad start and continues further downhill. It might perhaps be an understatement to say that pop to be hates him. What doesn't he like about Stiller? 1. He's a nurse and not a doctor 2. He's a Jew 3. He wants to marry his daughter 4. He loses his pet cat 5. He burns down the carved altar designed for his other daughter's wedding 6. He thinks he has lied about his medical exam results 7. He turns his lawn (where the other daughter's wedding is to be held) into a cess pool Apart from all of that there isn't really all that much that De Niro doesn...

Review of Meet The Parents (DVD)

frontline spray

Advantages: kills all fleas
Disadvantages: the fumes are quite strong

...Frontline spray!! What can I say! As we don't have a lot of money coming in to the household I was a bit dubeous of trying it because of the price. We've tried absolutely everything. If you think about the price of them all and add them all together they cost a lot more than frontline so I thought as a final resort I would try it! WOW. It is brilliant. We have 2 cats and 5 kittens who were all infested. We applied it to all of them and within a few hours saw the effects. They like to sleep on the white cushions of our sons sofa and there were dead and dying fleas galore! Then on closer inspection we noticed the little blighters everywhere! I will never try a different product again. overall the product is brilliant and in the long run it saves you money! It lasts for two months. All you do is brush the fur backwards and spray it on...

Review of Frontline Spray

Power me right up (for a short time!)

Advantages: Uninterrupted power,
Disadvantages: does not rack mount, battery life poor

...ones were discharging to readily and were even having issues charging it up. To the rear is are 2 remote ports to connect this to a network. Using the cat5 connections, the device can be remotely shut down and restarted from terminal many miles away from the PCs or servers it is powering. Also on the rear are the 4 power outlets to power the devices. This allows you to connect up to 4 PCs, screens or servers to the Liebert via the female Kettle lead type sockets. However if you use all 4 for PCs or servers, do not expect the suggest 15 mins of battery time to hold true. I found with 4 servers running from this, the battery life was under 5 minutes even after brand new batteries were installed. Due to its poor power capacity, we now use this to power less power hungry PCs performing minimal operations and leave the more hungry PCS to...

Review of Liebert PowerSure ProActive PSA350 - UPS - 350 VA - UPS battery - Lead Acid - 7 Ah

Erm, it's a cable!

Advantages: Good build quality, brand name
Disadvantages: A bit pricey.

...Okay, so before everyone gets too excited at the prospect of reading a review about a network cable, I'll bring you all back down to Earth and try to convince you why this one is so great... If you've bought computer peripherals before, you will probably be familiar with Belkin, who are particularly well-known for their USB products. Belkin make all sorts of cables, including a variety of ethernet network cables. This is a Cat 5 standard network cable (coloured red, but you can get it in many other colours, including black, grey, yellow, green, blue etc). One of the major problems with network cables is their tendency to snag when bent through a small radius, and because of the way the individual wires are twisted around eachother inside the cable, this can lead to network errors. The Belkin cable claims to be snagless...

The WAP is dead, long live the WAP

Advantages: Fast, easy to configure, reasonable price for a Wireless Access Point
Disadvantages: slight snag in set up. Easily resolved

...My dearly beloved Linksys WAP11b passed on this week. At the request of the family there were no flowers but a small celebration was held to remember a long and hard working life and the opportunity to get a new one. Including VAT and delivery, for £48.15 , Novatech.co.uk sent me one of these little charmers. Let me explain my home setup: The ADSL line starts at my phone line and passes through a Linksys ADSL ethernet modem. This is connected to a seperate router which has four ports in it. Two of those ports are used by the CAT5 structured cable network, connecting the two desktop computers to each other and the internet. one of the ports is spare and the other hosts the Wireless Access Point, or WAP. Doing this separately was deliberate, the failure of a single component will not prevent...
