The cable can be about 16 feet long and it supports devices that were supported by Cat 6 and Cat 5. The flat design of the cable allows users to install the cabling under the carpet and rugs or mount flat against baseboards.

• Super Speed HDMI Cable

Terabytes, an IT consumer electronics company, launched an effective ultra HD HDMI cable. The cable is highly renowned for super-speed transmission. The plating on the HDMI is full copper.  The cable is used for rendering 480p, 480i, 720p, 1080i, 1440p, and 4k resolutions neatly. The length of the cable is 1.5 meters. An HDMI cable from BlueRigger is compatible with PC, and can transfer data at the rate of 10.2 gigabytes per second. The length of the cable is 0.9 meters. It is manufactured by using a PVC outer layer and oxygen-free solid copper strands. It makes sure of the durability of the cable. The durability will make cable last longer than before and it will reduce waste of cables.

• Steps to Reduce E-waste

Apple might have to abandon its lightning connector cable as the amount of e-waste is increasing There are three kinds of cables available in the market and European Union wants to reduce this number so that environment could not be harmed.  This cable is used to charge and synchronize Apple devices such as iPhone and iPad. But, the European Union wants to end the use of this charger because it generates more than 51,000 tonnes of waste per year. One of the members of the European Parliament said that this cable is immensely detrimental to the environment. The European Union suggests that there should be a common charger that can charge all tablets, e-book readers, mobile devices, and other devices. In 2009, there were more than 30 types of charger that were available in the market, but only three types of the charger are available now. If Apple has to abandon the use of lightning connector cable then there is a huge possibility that the company will adopt USB-C cable.
