Media Streamers are an external device that enable you to play media content direct to a TV or projector without the need for a computer. Media streamers can play content from the Internet, internal storage or an external drive such as a USB stick or NAS box.

Smart Home is an umbrella term used to cover an ever-growing array of connected devices. By connected we mean that they form part of your home network and therefore communication with these smart devices is via your router - whether connected physically by Ethernet cable or wirelessly. The concept of a smart home is to add convenience to life in general, either by providing automation for heating or lighting systems or to deliver additional functionality such as security when using cameras or alarms.

These smart home door locks allow you to integrate additional security into your home, whilst some offer the ability to remotely monitor a live video feed of your doorstep when you are away.

USB is the most common bus used to connect a huge variety of external devices to PCs, laptops and servers. It is not only used by peripherals such as keyboards and mice, but also storage devices such as external drives, smartphone and tablets and more.

These mains sockets feature USB ports - either USB-A, USB-C or a combination of both, enabling you to easily charge multiple devices such as smartphones and tablets at once.

USB cables transfer data such as text, images, AV signals from one device to another. They may either have the same connectors at each end or convert between different types of port. Originating in 1996, since then USB has evolved into various revisions, adding support for progressively higher transfer rates.

These USB 3.1 and 3.2 cables support throughput at up to 10Gbps or 20Gbps respectively using either the large Type-A connector and/or one of the smaller connectors. Please note a USB 3.2 port will be limited to 10Gbps using Type-A connector, so make sure to you choose a Type-C connector for full performance.
