Network Patch Cables
Now and again we all fall for substandard products, what is so frustrating is retailers/sellers passing them of as the genuine article. Not all Ethernet Patch Cable (Cat5e/Cat6/etc) is created equally genuine copper cable is made from pure copper and Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA) wire uses an aluminium conductor that is coated with copper hence some suppliers offering really cheap cables at knocked down prices. It is what it is a “cheaper option”. CCA is not permitted by cabling industry Standards and we strongly advise against the use of CCA wire in twisted pair network cable. The use of CCA wire directly affects download speeds, data speeds and we are still to find if it works well with Power over Ether, CCTV and various other Networking applications.
If you are someone who relies on their cabling taking interest in the built and quality of your Ethernet Cables is a must. Say NO to Cheap sub-standard Ethernet cables. If the price is to good to be true then you might have ordered CCA Patch Leads.
Trap Solutions does not supply CCA patch leads, Our catalogue consits of various types of Ethernet Patch Leads all of which can be relied upon as they are made from pure copper and are manufactured according to industry standards.

Fast Broadband
Good news for all those bandwidth junkies as Virgin Media trials their 200mbits/sec in Ashford, I guess if this goes as planned all the cabled areas will be enjoying the fastest broadband service in the world. This will take th UK from 11th place to numero Uno on the fastest Broadband chart. Topping this list currently is Japan where a company called J:Com currently offers a service of 160-megabit-per-second at not very high costs. But unfortunately not evryone in the country is going to have the option of just switching virgin are not expanding their network they are only servicing those areas they currently operate in.
Do we really need 200mbits/sec……If its available let the consumer have it, If virgin did do it another comany will come and take over.
On the other hand you have BT unveiling their much promised 21CN Broadband with those living close to exchanges benefiting from this. The service is ot only limited to Bt broadband subscribers but to all those ISPs that operate lines on the BT wholesales Network. We will see how this one unfolds as I have been paying for 8mbits/sec and only get over 1.6mbits/sec.
But we all know what this means, new hardware and equipment, so no doubt manufacturers will soon be at work upgrading their routers.
