Patch Cable
What Is a Patch Cable?
A patch cable, sometimes called a patch fabric, is a visual or electrical cable with a connector on each end, used to connect two patterns such as network constituents, or audio or video devices. Most patch cables are generally short &emdash; usually no more and in many cases as short as 3 inches (about 8 cm). The length of a patch cable is usually determined by the distance between the two devices to be connected, and the desire of users to minimize the clutter of loose cable. Shorter patch cables are sometimes called “pigtails.”
Another usual type of patch cable is coaxial cable, which is in general black and connects many different patterns, often to transmit radio or audio-video (AV) signal. A microphone cable is a black patch cable equipped with XLR connectors, multiple-pin connectors that connect male-to-female and snap into place, and home stereo users are familiar with the RCA jack, which is installed on the multicolored patch cables supplied with many home stereo components.
