Cables N More carries rack, mount, and cable management products organized into four groups: Mounts & Cabinets (wall mount racks and cabinets, TV and monitor mounts, full-size server racks and enclosures), Rack Accessories (cable management, casters, fans, filler panels, rack rail kits), Cable Management as its own top-level category, and PC Security (charging cabinets, DVR security lock boxes, PC/LCD security). The right pick depends on whether you're mounting equipment on a wall, building out a full server rack, or just tidying cables — each group below maps to one of those jobs.

Wall Mount Racks and Cabinets

These are for smaller installations where equipment goes on a wall instead of the floor — network closets, retail back rooms, or a home office with a switch and patch panel.

• Open frame wall mount racks — equipment is exposed, which makes access and airflow easy.
• Swing-out wall mount cabinets — the cabinet pivots away from the wall so you can reach the rear of installed gear.
• Wall mount cabinets — enclosed, for a cleaner look or some protection.
• Wall mount shelves — for equipment that isn't rack-mountable.

If you need to get behind your equipment regularly, the swing-out style solves the main problem with wall mounting: not being able to reach the back of the rack.

Full-Size Racks and Enclosures

For larger deployments, the site lists:

• 2-post open frame server racks
• 4-post open frame server racks
• Server cabinets (enclosed)

Two-post racks suit patch panels and lighter network gear; four-post racks support heavier servers that need front and rear rail support. Server cabinets add enclosure and, in many designs, locking.

Rack Accessories

Accessories are listed under Rack Accessories and include:

Filler panels and fans matter most in enclosed cabinets, where unused openings and poor airflow both work against you.

TV and Monitor Mounts

Under Mounts & Cabinets, the site also lists TV mounts and monitor mounts alongside the rack products. These are display-mounting products rather than IT rack hardware, so treat them as a separate purchase decision from your server or network rack.

Cable Management

Cable management appears both as a top-level category and as a rack accessory. It covers organizing and securing cabling — within a rack, along a wall, or behind a desk. If your goal is simply to stop cables from tangling or to keep runs neat, this is the category to start with; if you're building a rack, add cable management as part of the rack accessory order rather than separately.

PC Security and Charging Cabinets

The PC Security group covers:

• Charging cabinets and accessories
• DVR security lock boxes
• PC / LCD security

These are for physically securing or charging equipment rather than mounting or organizing it.

How to Choose

Match the product group to your installation:

• Equipment on a wall, limited space → wall mount rack, swing-out cabinet, or wall mount shelf.
• Multiple servers needing front and rear support → 4-post open frame rack or server cabinet.
• Patch panels and light network gear → 2-post open frame rack.
• Enclosed rack with heat concerns → server cabinet plus fans and filler panels.
• Just cleaning up cabling → cable management.
• Securing or charging devices → PC security / charging cabinets.

A Note on Pricing and Availability

The site's new arrivals listings show example prices for some adjacent products (for instance, an open SFP slot gigabit fiber media converter at $36.75 and a 1FT Cat6 patch cable at $2.10), but the rack, mount, and cable management categories themselves don't carry listed prices in the available page content. Check the individual product pages for current pricing and stock before ordering.

Cables N More (cablesnmore.com) is an online retailer of electronics accessories and cabling. Its catalog centers on the parts you need to physically connect, convert, or organize equipment: audio/video cables and adapters, fiber optic patch cables and media converters, network patch panels and keystone jacks, plus racks, mounts, and cable management hardware. It suits buyers who already know the connector or spec they need — a specific adapter, a run of Cat6, an LC-to-LC multimode patch cable — rather than shoppers looking for finished consumer devices.

What the site sells

The catalog is organized into a few broad families, each with subcategories:

How the site works

It runs as a standard e-commerce storefront. The page evidence shows account creation and login, a wishlist, a shopping cart, and site search — so you can browse and search without committing, then save items or check out through an account. Product listings include prices directly (for example, an HDMI port saver at $6.64, a 10 ft RG58 BNC coaxial patch cable at $4.34, and a 6 ft shielded RCA cable at $0.91), and there are "New Arrivals" sections within each category.

Who it's for

• IT and network installers buying patch panels, keystone jacks, bulk cable, and fiber patch cables in specific lengths and connector types.
• A/V integrators sourcing adapters, gender changers, splitters, and extenders.
• Anyone building out a rack or wall-mounted setup who needs cabinets, shelves, rails, and cable management in one order.
• Repair or DIY users hunting a single odd connector — a DB9/DB25 cable, a Toslink cable, a VGA adapter.

If you need a specific cable, adapter, or networking component and you know the connector type and length, this is the kind of store where you can find it. If you're shopping for a finished product like a TV or a computer, the catalog is aimed at the parts around those devices rather than the devices themselves.

Cables N More organizes its catalog by connection type and application, so the fastest way to find the right part is to work backward from your equipment: identify the port on each device, then match the cable or adapter category to it. The store carries audio/video cables and adapters, fiber optic components, network patch panels and keystone jacks, bulk cable, rack mounts, and cable management accessories. This guide walks through the decision points that matter most — connector type, gender, length, and application — using the categories and products listed on the site.

Start with the connector, not the product name

The single biggest source of wrong orders is buying by product name instead of by connector. A "DVI/HDMI cable" only works if both endpoints actually have those ports. Before browsing, write down:

• The exact port on each device (HDMI, DVI, VGA, USB, RCA, XLR, Toslink, BNC, LC, RJ45, etc.)
• Whether the port is male or female
• The distance between the two devices

Cables N More splits its audio/video section into Adapters/Converters, Cables, and Electronics, which maps directly onto these questions. If the two ends don't match, you need an adapter or converter rather than a cable.

Adapters vs. converters vs. gender changers

These three are not interchangeable:

If you're going from HDMI out to a DVI monitor, you need a signal-compatible adapter or cable — not a gender changer. Gender changers only solve the physical male/female mismatch.

Match the category to your application

Cables N More's navigation is built around use cases. Picking the right top-level category narrows the catalog before you filter further.

Audio/video setups

• Cables: XLR, coaxial, DVI/HDMI, stereo/RCA, Toslink
• Adapters/converters: VGA, USB, HDMI gender changers
• Electronics: extenders, splitters, switches

Use a splitter when one source must feed multiple displays simultaneously. Use a switch when multiple sources share one display. Use an extender when the run exceeds normal cable length. These are different problems and the site lists them as separate subcategories for that reason.

Network and structured cabling

• Patch panels: F-Type, BNC, CAT5e, CAT6
• Keystone: Cat5E jacks (110 style), RJ11 jacks, wall plates, blank inserts, surface biscuit boxes
• Patch cables: multimode, singlemode, mode conditioning, plus copper Ethernet

Choose the patch panel category to match your cable type — a CAT6 panel for CAT6 runs, an F-Type panel for coax. Keystone jacks and wall plates let you build custom outlet configurations; blank inserts fill unused ports.

Fiber optic

The fiber section separates multimode and singlemode patch cables, plus media converters by speed (Fast Ethernet vs. Gigabit Ethernet) and SFP modules by fiber type (multimode, singlemode, copper).

The critical decision here is fiber type. Multimode (OM3, OM5) suits shorter runs within a building; singlemode suits long-distance links. The site lists specific examples such as a 4m OM3 LC-to-LC multimode duplex cable and a 1m OM5 wideband multimode LC-to-LC cable — note that OM3 and OM5 are not interchangeable for every application, so match the fiber grade to what your existing infrastructure uses.

An open SFP slot media converter lets you choose the module separately, which is useful if you need to change fiber type later without replacing the converter.

Racks and physical infrastructure

• Mounts & cabinets: wall mount racks/cabinets, open frame racks, swing-out cabinets, TV and monitor mounts, 2-post and 4-post server racks
• Rack accessories: casters, fans, filler panels, rack rail kits
• Cable management: brackets and wire management

Filler panels and spacer blanks close unused rack units for airflow and appearance. Rack rail kits are needed when mounting equipment that doesn't come with rails. Match the rack unit height (U) of your equipment to the cabinet or rack you select.

Check gender, length, and quantity before ordering

Three details cause most returns:

1. Gender. A cable listed as "M/M" has male connectors on both ends. "HDMI Female to Male" (listed as an HDMI port saver) is a gender changer, not a standard cable. Read the M/F designation on every connector.
2. Length. The catalog lists lengths in feet and meters depending on category (e.g., "10 FT" coax, "4m" fiber, "1FT" Cat6). Confirm the run length plus slack before ordering.
3. Color and conductor count. Some items specify options — for example, a Cat6 patch cable available in 9 colors, or a modular cable described as 4-conductor. These matter for identification and for matching existing wiring.

Reading a product listing

Take the RG58 coaxial patch cable listed as "10 FT, BNC, Black." That tells you: cable type (RG58 coax), length (10 ft), connector (BNC), and color (black). If your equipment uses BNC and you need a 10-foot run, this is a direct match. If you need a different length or connector, search the same subcategory rather than a different one.

Use bulk cable when you're terminating your own runs

Cables N More carries bulk cable categories including CAT5e/CAT6 bulk cable and silver satin modular cable (4-conductor, 1000 FT). Choose bulk when:

• You're running cable through walls or conduit and terminating ends yourself
• You need custom lengths
• You're wiring multiple drops from a single spool

Bulk cable requires you to supply your own connectors, jacks, and termination tools. If you don't have those, pre-terminated patch cables are the simpler path.

A quick decision sequence

1. Identify the port type and gender on each device.
2. Decide whether you need a cable, adapter, converter, or gender changer.
3. Pick the application category (audio/video, network, fiber, rack).
4. Filter by connector type, then length.
5. Confirm gender, color, and conductor count in the product title.
6. For fiber, confirm multimode vs. singlemode and the OM grade.
7. For racks, confirm the U height and whether rails are included.

Working in this order keeps you inside the correct subcategory and avoids the most common mismatch — buying a cable when the real need is a converter, or the reverse.

Cables N More organizes its catalog by signal type and connector family, so the fastest way to tell products apart is to start with what the cable carries — audio/video, network data, or fiber optic light — and then narrow by connector and category. The store's navigation lists Audio/Video Cables, Fiber Optic, Network, Patch Panels, Cables, Keystone, and Mounts & Cabinets as separate top-level sections, and each one splits further by connector standard (HDMI, DVI, RCA, XLR, Toslink, Cat5e, Cat6, LC, BNC, and so on). If you know the port on each end of your run and the signal it carries, the correct category is usually determined before you compare individual products.

Audio/Video cables: match the connector, not just the name

The Audio/Video section covers cables that carry picture, sound, or both, plus the adapters that convert between them.

The store also sells Audio/Video Electronics — extenders, splitters, and switches — which are not cables but sit in the same signal chain. A splitter sends one source to multiple displays; a switch selects between multiple sources into one display; an extender pushes the signal over a longer distance than a passive cable allows.

Adapters and converters are for mismatched ports

Under Audio/Video Adapters / Converters, Cables N More lists VGA Cable Adapters, USB Adapters, and HDMI Gender Changers. These solve a specific problem: the two ends of your run don't physically match, or you need to change the connector gender (for example, joining two male HDMI cables). A gender changer is passive and only changes the physical connector; a converter may change the signal format as well. Check which one you need before buying, because a passive adapter won't convert between incompatible signal types.

Network cables: Cat5e vs Cat6, and where patch panels fit

The Network section separates bulk and patch cabling from the panels and jacks that terminate them.

• Cat5e and Cat6 patch cables — the store lists both, including a 1FT Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cable with a booted, strain-relief design in nine colors. Cat5e and Cat6 differ in their rated performance category; choose based on the speed and distance your installation calls for and what your other equipment supports.
• Bulk cable — CAT5e/CAT6 Bulk Cable is sold for custom-length runs that you terminate yourself.
• Patch panels — F-Type, BNC, CAT5e, and CAT6 Patch Panels are listed separately, so the panel must match the cable category and connector you're terminating.
• Keystone — Cat5E Jack 110 Style, RJ11 Keystone Jacks, wall plates, blank inserts, and surface biscuit boxes let you build out wall outlets and faceplates.

A practical rule: pick the cable category first, then buy the matching patch panel and keystone jacks so the whole run stays in one standard.

Fiber optic: singlemode vs multimode, and what SFP modules do

Fiber products are grouped by the physical layer they support.

• Patch cables — Multimode Patch Cables, Singlemode Patch Cables, and Mode Conditioning Patch Cables are separate categories. The store lists multimode examples such as a 4m Multimode Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable (50/125) OM3 Aqua, LC to LC, and a 1m OM5 Wideband Multimode Duplex Patch Cable (50/125), LC to LC. Singlemode and multimode are not interchangeable — they differ in core size and the distance/optics they suit.
• Media converters — Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet Media Converters convert between copper Ethernet and fiber. One listed example is an Open SFP Slot Gigabit Fiber Media Converter for Multimode or Singlemode Fiber, which takes a pluggable module rather than a fixed optic.
• SFP modules — Multimode SFP Modules, Singlemode SFP Modules, and Copper SFP Modules are sold separately, so the module must match both the fiber type and the converter or switch slot.
• Fiber accessories — Attenuators, connectors, adapters and couplers, and bulk cable round out the section.

The key distinction: choose singlemode or multimode based on your existing fiber plant and the reach you need, then match the SFP module and media converter to that same choice.

How to decide quickly

1. Identify the signal: audio/video, network data, or fiber optic.
2. Identify both connectors (for example, LC to LC, HDMI to HDMI, BNC).
3. If the connectors don't match, check whether you need a passive adapter/gender changer or an active converter.
4. For network runs, keep cable category, patch panel, and keystone jacks in the same standard.
5. For fiber, fix singlemode vs multimode first, then pick the matching SFP module and media converter.

Prices shown in the catalog (for example, the HDMI Port Saver at $6.64, the RG58 Coaxial Patch Cable at $4.34, and the 6 FT Shielded RCA Cable at $0.91) are listed per item, and the site shows account, wishlist, and cart functions, so availability and any account requirements should be confirmed on the product page before ordering.

Cables N More organizes its fiber optic and network products into five main groups: fiber optic cables and modules, media converters, patch panels, keystone and wall-plate components, and cable management accessories. The catalog is aimed at people building or maintaining structured cabling — connecting switches, patch panels, and wall outlets — rather than at general consumer electronics buyers. If you need to link two switches over fiber, terminate a run into a rack, or convert an Ethernet signal to fiber, the relevant parts are here. If you need a finished consumer device like a router or a prebuilt network appliance, this is not that kind of store.

Fiber Optic Cables and Modules

The fiber optic section splits into patch cables, connectors and adapters, attenuators, and SFP modules.

Patch cables are separated by fiber mode:

• Multimode patch cables — listed with OM3 (aqua, laser-optimized) and OM5 wideband variants, in duplex configurations such as LC to LC. Multimode is the usual choice for shorter runs inside a building or data closet.
• Singlemode patch cables — for longer-distance runs where the higher cost of singlemode optics is justified.
• Mode conditioning patch cables — used when running gigabit Ethernet over existing multimode fiber, a specific compatibility case rather than a general-purpose cable.

SFP modules are grouped the same way the cables are:

The store also lists an open SFP slot gigabit fiber media converter that accepts either multimode or singlemode modules, which is useful if you want one converter chassis and change the optic rather than the whole unit.

The supporting accessories — fiber optic connectors, adapters and couplers, and attenuators — are the parts you need when terminating or tuning a fiber run rather than just plugging in a pre-terminated cable.

Media Converters

Media converters sit between copper Ethernet and fiber. Cables N More lists them by speed:

• Fast Ethernet media converters — 100 Mbps class.
• Gigabit Ethernet media converters — 1000 Mbps class, including the open-SFP-slot model noted above.

The practical decision here is speed first, then whether you want a fixed optic or an open SFP slot. A fixed converter is simpler; an open-slot converter lets you match the module to whatever fiber you already have installed.

Patch Panels

Patch panels are organized by the connector or cable type they terminate:

• F-Type patch panels — coaxial, typically for video or RF distribution.
• BNC patch panels — coaxial, common in video and test environments.
• CAT5e patch panels — for 5e Ethernet runs.
• CAT6 patch panels — for 6 Ethernet runs.

Choose the panel that matches the cable you are pulling. A CAT6 panel on CAT5e cable works electrically but wastes the panel's headroom; a CAT5e panel on CAT6 cable caps the run at 5e performance.

Keystone, Wall Plates, and Network Cabling

This group covers the endpoint side of a structured cabling run:

• Cat5E keystone jacks (110 style) and RJ11 keystone jacks — the jack snaps into a plate or panel and is where the horizontal cable terminates.
• Keystone wall plates — available in multiple port counts and colors, and the store notes they accept both network and audio/video inserts, so one plate can mix data and A/V.
• Blank keystone inserts — fill unused openings.
• Keystone surface biscuit — a surface-mount box for runs that cannot go into a wall.
• Bulk CAT5e/CAT6 cable and silver satin modular cable (4-conductor, sold in 1000 ft spools) — the raw cable for pulling runs.

The typical sequence is: pull bulk cable, terminate it into a keystone jack, snap the jack into a wall plate at the user end and into a patch panel at the rack end, then use a patch cable to connect the panel port to the switch.

Cable Management and Rack Accessories

For the rack side, the store lists cable management alongside casters, fans, filler panels and spacer blanks, and rack rail kits. These are the parts that keep a finished install serviceable — routing cables, closing unused rack units, and mounting equipment properly. They are accessories to the rack and cabinet line (wall mount racks and cabinets, open frame racks, server cabinets) rather than standalone products.

How to Pick the Right Item

Work backward from the run:

1. Distance and environment decide fiber mode — multimode for short in-building runs, singlemode for long haul.
2. Existing equipment decides the connector and module type — match the SFP to the fiber you have, or use a copper SFP if no fiber is involved.
3. Cable category decides the panel and jack — CAT5e parts with CAT5e cable, CAT6 with CAT6.
4. Speed decides the media converter — Fast Ethernet or Gigabit.
5. Rack space decides the management accessories — filler panels for gaps, management for routing.

One caution worth stating plainly: the store's listings show connector types, fiber modes, and cable categories, but the page evidence does not include detailed electrical or optical specifications for every item. Before ordering, confirm the specific part number's spec sheet matches your equipment, especially for SFP modules and mode conditioning cables, where a mismatch will simply not link.
