Another Cable Review!

Advantages: Durable; Brand name; Reliable
Disadvantages: Relatively expensive; Overkill for a 56k connection

...jack, which is a nice touch. They also prevent the tab from being snapped off. The plug itself is moulded onto the cable, although the BT plug is the standard crimp-on variety. Looking at the plugs more closely, the contacts are plated with 24 CT gold. Although I am sceptical about any performance gains, I would agree that it will certainly help with durability, since the gold will resist oxidation which would cause signal degradation. The technology used in the construction of this cable is very similar to the technology used for Belkin's standard range of Cat 5 ethernet network cables. In fact, Belkin claims that this cable can support data transfer rates up to 100 Mb/s. Those sort of speeds are way off into the future, in terms of what you can get through a standard telephone or even broadband line, so you have to question whether...

Review of Belkin High Speed Internet Modem Cable phone cable - 2.1 m

A good, solid, entry cordless phone

Advantages: Portable, no leads, looks smart, transfer calls from handset to handset easily
Disadvantages: Muffled sound at times

...Welcome to my review on what has been a very useful new purchase in our house. Around two months ago, we found it necessary to buy a cordless phone because of there being several people in our house, and escaping noise and being in one place all the time are difficult things to achieve. We felt it was not an extremely important thing because our main phone was still in great working order, so we spent moderetely small amounts on this new phone. ---- The Item ----- Included in the set are two chargers for the two handsets as well as help instructions and the wiring needed. Therefore, everything you need is supplied. From past experience, Cable and Wirelss have been considered a good brand so buying a phone from them was not a big deal. The two handsets are currently employed in an upstairs bedroom and next to our PC so you never...

Review of Cable & Wireless D2800 / Dect Phone

Official Wii Component Video Cable

Advantages: Far better picture than standard composite, better looking games
Disadvantages: Expensive, Only needed for larger screens 32" or greater

...After the release of the little white bundle of joy on the 8/12/2006 people were given a composite cable to show off their new shinny new console. AV enthusiasts all know a composite signal is the poor quality option for showing video on their TV's - what people really want is RGB or Component video input. As console manufactures are out to make a profit they usually bundle the cheapest and most compatible option with the console and then release upgrades to that product for people who need or want it. Nintendo understand this and have released two video upgrade options - the Wii RGB cable or the Wii Component cable. Lets get things straight from the off, The Nintendo Wii is not a High Definition Console, What this cable does offer is a enhanced image resolution of 480p. I finally got hold of the component video cable after...

Review of Nintendo Wii Component Video Cable

Amazing Little Cable

Advantages: Synchronizes mobile phone to PC
Disadvantages: None

...Drive and the user-friendly installation process was done with utmost ease. Nokia CA-42 Mobile phone cable must not be used while the installation is on process. When Nokia PC suite installation is finished, that's the time to plug the Nokia CA-42 Mobile phone cable to the computer's USB port and attach the phone to the other end of the cable. When my computer crashed, I had it sent to the technician for reformatting. When it was time for re-installation of drivers, I forgot where I hid the Nokia PC Suite CD. But then I was amazed that Nokia PC Suite driver was available in the internet. All I did was download Nokia PC Suite from the internet without the CD. SYNCHRONIZATION AND FILE TRANSFER When Nokia CA-42 Mobile phone cable is used to connect the phone to the computer, I can synchronize my phone with my computer. All...

Wii component cable- Well worth the money

Advantages: sharper/brighter picture, opens up more ports on TV, saves hassle.
Disadvantages: quite expensive for a simple console improvement

...The Nintendo Wii component video cable really is a sound investment if you are the owner of an HD/ LCD TV, and obviously a nintendo Wii. Before i bought it, i had trouble with the picture quality and contrast on many of the games. Games such as Wii Sports were fine, but more of the action/adventure games such as Zelda or Splinter Cell give a very dark picture which can sometimes be hard to make out what was happening. The only way i could combat this problem was to adjust the contrast on my television which did help, but was alot of hassle. With the component cable, the picture is not only much brighter, but much sharper and defined. It gets rid of the hassle of having to turn the contrast back down after playing on the Wii and improves the overall gaming experiance. Another bonus is that on your HD TV, this cable plugs into...

Review of Nintendo Wii Component Video Cable

The GAMEware component cable spices up the Wii's HD graphics.

Advantages: Improves the graphical quality of games, Cheaper than the official cable.
Disadvantages: I suppose some people will unfairly compare the Wii and the 360/PS3 graphics and be disappointed?

...Having previously played my Wii on a regular old television I was more than happy with the graphics in game. However upon moving house and purchasing a Samsung LCD TV which is HD compatible, I figured buying a component cable couldn?t hurt and I had heard good things about its effect upon games. I did not have the money at the time to purchase the official Nintendo one, and when talking about it with the kind and helpful assistants in GAME, they assured me theirs was just as good and a fraction of the price. I had never been let down by them before so I bought it and went home straight away to see the effect it would have, especially on games with already spectacular graphics like Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy. Difference in Picture Quality Being unsure of the effect it would have, I performed a blind test with a friend...

Review of Wii Component Cable

Be careful next time you need to call .. 'THE CABLE GUY' ..

Advantages: Well.... Jim Carrey stars in it!
Disadvantages: it possibly could have done with just a touch more humor.

...--------------------------------------- THE CABLE GUY on DVD --------------------------------------- This film was first released in 1996 and it was officially a box office FLOP . I was actually quite surprised to learn that on watching the DVD. Jim Carrey was already quite a well recognized face in the movie industry by the time that 'The Cable Guy' was released . His previous roles had included the lead part in the 2 ACE VENTURER movies( I love both of those films) and also the Riddler in BATMAN FOREVER(my son likes this one) . I first saw this movie a few years after its release, on pay per view . I loved this film so much that my sister on knowing this decided to buy it for me as a present a few birthday's ago.It was a GREAT choice as it is still a favorite of mine all these years on. ---------- Plot ---------- Jim Carrey...

Review of The Cable Guy (DVD)

the cable that will last a lifetime

Advantages: strong
Disadvantages: none

...Now iv not done a review on USB cables before, really its just never hit me that I could actually write about these and there’s also the fact that there’s not really much you can say about a cable, but ill give it a go. This is a normal printer cable which means it has two ends, one being the end which goes into any USB port in your computer or laptop, this end is the rectangle shaped end and is called a type A. The other end is which goes into your printer, and don’t worry as nearly every printer made has this kind of end so it will definitely fit, and this end is kind of square in shape and is known as the type B end. It transfers data to your computer at speeds of up to 480 mbps, that’s megabytes a second which is really fast and is about 40 times faster than USB 1.1 cables. The cable its self is 1.8 m...

A Wireless Cable ?

Advantages: Cheap, Easy Setup
Disadvantages: Poor WiFi Coverage, Limited sofwtare features

...When my old Netgear wireless router broke down (for the fourth time) at the beginning of December I decided that enough was enough. A trip to PC world saw me return with one of these puppies (and £60 lighter in the pocket). 30 minutes after getting home saw my Internet access and wireless network reinstated. Yup, 30 minutes was really all it took, and that included unwrapping it, fiddling round with the power supply & cables as well as some basic configuration. This was helped along by the excellent quick-start guide on a large, fold-out sheet with it's clearly numbered and documented steps. At about the size of a large-format paperback, it's middle of the road in terms of size. Aesthetically it's not going to win any prizes, but it does the job. There are screw-holes on the base to allow for wall-mounting should you desire...

Review of Belkin 54g Wireless Cable/DSL Router

It's a cable !

Advantages: It transfers data
Disadvantages: None

...What can I possibly say about a "cable" ? Its a USB Cable, standard USB connection on one end (the type that fits into the USB socket on your PC or laptop), and a different type of USB connection on the other (that fits certain Nokia phone models). Sorry I don't know the names of the specific types of connectors, but they are both male. My cable is black but I would imagine it comes in other colours. It is 1.2m in length, which is plenty long enough, unless your PC is tucked away in a very unaccessible place. The Ciao description says it is for connecting a Nokia 5510 but I use it to connect an N95, and I imagine a lot of other Nokia models will use this type of connection too. Best to check on the Nokia website. If you need to transfer data, synchronise you address book, install software on your phone etc, then I can recommend...
