Choosing a networking cable, speaker wire, HDMI cable for your home-entertainment system and cables for other applications isn't as easy as it may seem at a first glance. Although they all look exactly the same, there can be a big difference in quality of signal transmission which in turn has a major influence on speeds or/and sound and picture quality. Sometimes, however, this influence is barely noticeable. Ixos.co.uk will help you understand how particular cables work, what's the difference between different types of cables available, and when it is better to spend more and when even the cheapest cables will do their job perfectly. Remember, before pulling out any wires in a new property (or any property!), or drilling any holes where cables may be, seek the services of a RICS chartered survyeor.
