Terminators and Connectors
What are Terminators and what are connectors? In a typical circuit system, a connector is a device installed at the end of a power transmission line so that power can efficiently be transferred from one cable to another cable. Terminators and connectors just as their names suggest are vital devices used with wire and cables products to complete or break a circuit as appropriate. Both connectors and terminators are available in multiple grades for used with various installation projects depending on the unique needs of every project. In this terminators and connectors review I share with you the unique details of Terminators and Connectors currently available at Nassau Electrical, how they can be installed to make the best use of them, what cables they are used with and what projects they are most appropriate for.
Why are terminators important? Terminator or connectors help wire power from one cable material to another smoothly. They prevent reflection of power at the ends of transmission cables and these reflections are not good because they cause distortions and fluctuations in signals which could adversely affect signal systems and appliances. Essentially, they minimize power or signal losses.
There are many types of these devices readily available at Nassau Electrical. Here are detailed reviews of our Terminators and connectors.
Why Terminators and connectors are good for you? In power transmission Wires and cables, the need for connectors and terminators cannot be exaggerated. Power lines need impedance of matching cables to ensure smooth floor of power in the system and to minimize interferences due to reflections of electromagnetic signals associated with power transmission. The common feature with most of the conventional lines is that they have uniform cross-sections and similar electrical conductivity characteristics and should remain as such for optimum delivery.
This is where connectors come in handy. These devices ensure uniformity at points where power leaves one cable and enters another. In most occasions, the terminator is often a resistor with resistivity value carefully chosen to match the characteristics of the two end to end cables.
