A branch cable is a specialized cable used to distribute various types of wires. For power supplies, branch cables come with sockets or outlets. For lighting, they feature sockets corresponding to the number of branches. There are also specific branch cables for monitors, displays, computers, solar cells, headphones, and microphones.
With various plug shapes and configurations available, it's important to select a branch cable that matches your specific needs. Options include varying lengths between cables and the number of branches.
Branch cables are primarily used for branching electrical cables in different applications. Waterproof versions are suitable for outdoor use, such as connecting power to road construction indicator lights. In lighting, they can be connected to multiple fixtures, with a choice of length and cable shape depending on the number of fixtures. These cables are also helpful for synchronizing multiple electronic devices, such as PCs and monitors.
Branch cables typically consist of a single wire that divides into multiple branches. These wires can be three-phase or two-phase, with color-coded wires for easy identification. Each branch is secured with a sleeve and the entire cable is insulated for protection.
For solar panels, branch cables enable parallel connections, but it's crucial to adhere to the rated voltage and current specifications. For electronic devices, such as computers, there are various branching connectors for monitors, fans, and earphones to control multiple devices simultaneously.
Earphone or headset branch cables, for example, can connect two 4-pole terminals of smartphones or tablets to a PC's stereo terminals, useful for audio recording. Connectors are available in configurations like one female to two male branches, one male to two female branches, and all-male or all-female designs.
