Essential accessories for PC and notebook: from USB cables to mice, including hubs and network

CONNECT ALL YOUR DEVICES WITH THE RIGHT HUB

A hub is an essential accessory for expanding the available ports on computers from Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Acer, HP, ASUS and many other brands. Vivanco offers several solutions designed to suit every type of use. The most common models include 4 to 7 USB-A ports, ideal for connecting a mouse, keyboard, smartphone and other devices at the same time.

If you also need to connect external monitors, Vivanco offers hubs featuring dedicated video ports such as HDMI, VGA or DVI, perfect for video signal transmission and multi-screen setups.

Hubs typically come with a cable featuring a USB-A or USB-C connector, but the Vivanco range also includes models with HDMI or DisplayPort connectors, allowing them to be used not only with laptops, but also with devices such as smart TVs.

For those looking for a higher-end solution, Vivanco offers metal-bodied hubs, designed to deliver robustness, reliability and a premium look and feel. Versions are available with USB-A, USB-C and HDMI ports, and even a LAN port for a stable network connection.

Metal hubs with integrated HDMI and LAN also feature a gold-plated USB-C connector, designed to ensure high performance and greater durability over time.

USB CABLES: FROM EVERYDAY USE TO LESS COMMON TYPES

Anyone using PCs and laptops is well familiar with USB-C, which has become the most up-to-date standard, especially for modern notebooks and next-generation devices. Vivanco offers USB-C to USB-C cables up to 3 metres, ideal for those who work long hours at a computer, both in the office and when working from home, and need greater flexibility in their connections.

USB-A is still the most common standard for charging smartphones, transferring files and connecting accessories such as mice and keyboards. However, the length of the cables included is not always sufficient for every setup or environment. For this reason, Vivanco offers a range of USB-A extension cables up to 3 metres, designed to better suit desks, offices and more complex configurations without the need to purchase multiple cables in different lengths.

Among the most versatile solutions is the USB-C to HDMI cable, perfect for transmitting video signals from PCs and MacBooks to a TV or monitor. Gold-plated connectors help ensure a reliable connection and stable transmission, with support up to 4K, delivering sharp, high-quality images.

In addition to the most common formats, there are also USB Type-B, Micro-B and Mini-USB cables. Although less well known, they are still widely used for devices such as printers, external hard drives, cameras and other accessories.

USB-A to Micro-USB-B cables are often used to connect external hard drives and optical drives. Versions with USB 3.0 support data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps, allowing photos, videos and documents to be synced quickly and efficiently.

USB-A to USB-B cables, on the other hand, are generally chosen to connect laptops to printers or scanners, offering a stable solution suitable for everyday use.

For maximum convenience, lengths of up to 5 metres are also available, making them suitable for any environment, from a home desk to more structured workstations.

Finally, USB-A to Mini-USB cables are mainly designed for cameras and camcorders, useful for both charging and data transfer.

In all cases, anti-bend protection is a key advantage: it increases cable durability and ensures reliability even in awkward connections, tight spaces or hard-to-reach areas.

VIVANCO HAS ALL THE NETWORK CABLES YOU NEED

At first glance, without considering length or colour, Ethernet cables may all look the same. In reality, Vivanco network cables stand out thanks to a key factor when choosing the right one: the category.

Cat 5 cables represent the most basic solution and allow data transfers of up to 1 Gbps. Moving up a level, Cat 6 cables are generally thicker and support speeds of up to 10 Gbps. Both categories are particularly suitable for home use, for example to connect a PC to a router or modem.

All Vivanco network cables are designed with anti-bend protection, a feature that ensures greater durability and reliability even in challenging installations or very tight spaces. For specific connection needs, Ethernet cables with a 90° angled connector are also available, ideal when space behind devices or sockets is limited.

If you are looking for a practical and easy-to-carry solution, you can opt for a retractable network cable, which extends up to 1 metre and can be neatly stored away when not in use.

To directly connect two devices of the same type, Vivanco also offers cross-over network cables, specifically designed for these particular configurations.

Cat 7 cables maintain speeds of up to 10 Gbps, while offering a higher bandwidth, helping to deliver a more stable and reliable signal. For even more advanced requirements, Cat 8 cables reach speeds of up to 40 Gbps: together with Cat 7, they are the ideal choice for professional and business environments, such as connections to network switches or hubs.

In the Vivanco online store you will find a wide selection of network cables across these categories, also available in lengths up to 40 metres, to suit any type of installation.

POWER CABLES FOR PCS AND PRINTERS

Vivanco also offers complete solutions when it comes to power cables for PCs, laptops and printers. Within the range you will find cables with Euro 8 connectors, combined with Italian plugs or with German, Italian or UK plugs – a solution commonly used to power computers and notebooks safely and conveniently.

The universal power supplies feature wide compatibility with all major laptop brands and include up to 10 different adapters in the package, to be used according to the brand and connector of your PC.

If you have specific requirements or need to manage connections in tight spaces that could put stress on the cable, you can choose a model with a 90° angled Euro 8 connector, ideal for reducing bends and twists in awkward setups.

Cables with Schuko plugs are also available, featuring either an IEC female connector or a 3-pin connector, solutions commonly used with certain laptop, PC and printer models.

To ensure long-lasting performance, Vivanco power cables include anti-bend protection and are available in different lengths, with versions reaching up to 5 metres, to suit any workstation or working environment.
