PC data cable (external)
In this category you will find external PC data cables for FireWire, SAS/SCSI/eSATA, serial/parallel and PS/2 connections as well as Thunderbolt. Brands such as Belkin, StarTech, Delock, Lindy, Hama, CalDigit, Apple and LogiLink offer a comprehensive selection of specialty cables – for system integrators, IT professionals, retro enthusiasts and creative workstations.
Whether you are looking for a FireWire cable for an older audio interface, a SAS cable for your server backup, a serial cable for industrial equipment, or a Thunderbolt cable for a high‑speed workstation – you will find suitable products here with fast delivery to Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
For FireWire devices, cables with 6‑pin, 4‑pin and 9‑pin connectors are available. SAS and eSATA cables are designed for high data throughputs in server environments. Serial and parallel cables cover RS‑232, DB9, DB25 and PS/2 connections, which are still in demand in industry and for retro computers. Thunderbolt cables offer the latest transmission standards for Mac and Windows workstations.
While FireWire is increasingly being replaced by Thunderbolt and USB, it remains a sought‑after cable in niches. Thunderbolt shines with daisy‑chaining and bandwidths up to 40 Gbit/s. SAS/SCSI and eSATA cables are often the first choice for professional storage solutions. The right choice depends on the existing devices, the desired speed and future plans.
