With an ever-increasing number of home entertainment devices to connect, custom cable – from coiled to multicore cables – can all help to keep the wiring under control. If the distance between two components is known, multicore cables can be used to carry different signals between them in an aesthetically pleasing and clutter-reducing way. For a simple example of that, think of the triple-core video cables in common usage, with red and white composite connectors for stereo audio, and a third, yellow connector for video. Bespoke multicore cables can be much more sophisticated than standard composite video cables, however, catering for very specific applications. Meanwhile, if the distance is not fixed, a coiled custom cable could be a better option, allowing various lengths to be covered, but naturally recoiling to reduce the amount of excess wiring created. Home entertainment installations and computing set-ups are both examples of where wiring can easily get out of hand with fixed-length cables tangled around each other. But in any situation where several different connections need to be made, the right kinds of custom wire and cable can help to streamline the installation, as well as making it easier to maintain for the future.
