Even in the age of Wi-Fi, network cables are still the foundation for all communication. Whether it's between a router and DSL modem, between computers at a LAN party, or connecting various network-capable devices in the household, finding the right length of patch cable can often be a challenge. Cables are often too long or too short, leading to unnecessary extra work when laying them out. With the new colored patch cables, this is a thing of the past: simply choose the desired color and length, and then lay the cable. It couldn't be easier.
