Cables

Cables for classrooms, computer labs and comms racks — charging leads, display cables and network patch leads, in the lengths a school actually needs.

Charging cables

• Match the wattage to the device: phones need 20W, iPads 30W, laptops 45–100W. A higher-rated cable won't charge faster — it just won't be the bottleneck.
• Length matters more than people expect. 25cm for a hub or charging station beside the device; 1–2m for a desk; longer only when the socket is across the room.
• Right-angle plugs sit flat against a device rather than standing proud — which is what stops them bending against the back of a trolley slot.

Display cables

• USB-C to HDMI in one lead, for a laptop straight to a panel or projector
• HDMI to HDMI for fixed installations and media players
• DisplayPort for desktop machines and high-resolution monitors
• 4K covers almost every classroom display in service. 8K only matters on a panel that supports it.

Network cables

• Cat6 patch leads from 300mm to 15m, in blue, black and yellow
• Colour-coding a rack costs nothing at install and saves an hour every time someone traces a fault
