Networking Cables
Networking cables connect devices, distributes data and forms the physical link within any IT infrastructure. At Tech Shop, we offer an extensive selection of cable systems and accessories, including tie wraps and cable management, patch cables, patch panels, couplers, splitters, adapters and fibre cables.
Our patch cables cover Cat 5, Cat 5E and Cat 6 Ethernet standards, as well as USB-C to USB and other interface types. These short-run leads are ideal for connecting PCs, switches and routers, providing high-speed, low-latency communication.
Patch panels and couplers simplify network organisation, supporting quick reconfiguration and troubleshooting. Fibre patch leads are available in single and multi-mode options with LC, SC and MTP connectors for maximum compatibility.
What to look for when buying: Choose cables certified for your network speed (Gigabit or 10-Gigabit Ethernet). Verify shielding type (UTP or STP) depending on electromagnetic conditions. Select fibre type - single-mode for long distance, multi-mode for shorter, high-density connections. Ensure accessories match connector standards and rack layouts.
