Anyone know what this is coming from my ethernet cable?

I have been experiencing packet loss, and it disconects randomly

Unknown medical/dental cables

Both have single button on the wand part (either on/off or increase/decrease). One comes with fuses. No markings, writing, or signs anywhere. If you want close-up pictures of connectors, will add. Anyone has any clue to what they are? Thanks in advance!

Do breakaway cables for a three-pin "XLR" plug, or IEC C13/C14, exist? This is for an electric bike battery.

Please don't assault me if this is a stupid question--I'm a newbie at this stuff.

I need a breakaway cable for a three-pin "XLR" type or IEC C13/C14 cable for an electric bike to prevent damage to the PSU if somebody forgets to unplug it first. Any assistance?

Which HDMI cable should I get?

I don’t know anything about HDMI cable brands. I know the one that came with the PS5 is great, but I’m gonna need a longer one for my new setup. Which HDMI cable should I get? I know it needs to be an Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 cable, but I don’t know which brand is well known for their HDMI cables. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for at most a 6ft cable I think

Need help with cable for Canon R50 V + Takara Intro X3 wireless mic

Hi, I’m using a Canon R50 V and I have a Takara Intro X3 2.4GHz wireless microphone system.

I want to connect the mic receiver to my camera, but I’m not sure what kind of cable I should buy.

Right now I’m confused between:
3.5mm TRS to TRS cable
TRRS phone cable
USB C to 3.5mm cable

Can someone tell me exactly what cable I need for this setup to work properly with my Canon?
Thanks a lot for any help!

How do some long cables (50+ ft) work well for transmitting 4K video or lots of data and others don’t? Are some really worth $100+?

I have two 4K cameras that I’m looking to use for recording and have been struggling with getting reliable video signals into another room (~15m or a little over 50ft). I’ve searched here and read about a lot of cable differences and limitations, but I was recently recommended what looks like a fairly standard USB-A to USB-C cable that claims they can handle 4K/60fps video up to 20 me or 65 feet: https://www.obsbot.com/store/products/20m-65ft-usb-a-to-usb-c-3-cable

The reviews look decent, but it’s $100. Are cables like this really worth the cost? I’ve also looked into longer HDMI cables that claim to offer video + ethernet capabilities as well, but those are even more expensive!

What type of cable goes to this?

Recently picked up this monitor for a RCA portable DVD player, and it did not come with the cable and no matter what I do I cannot find out what type of cable this is or where to get a replacement.

Need help identifying this plug

It’s from a vehicle tuner and it is not proprietary. A guy on an old forum mentioned it as a variant of the DFP 20 but I haven’t been able to find anything. I’d like to know the name of the plug to purchase a cable and I can remap the wires. First picture is female second is male.

When looking at DFP cables, the center section seems to be thicker.

Looks like it’s about 20mm x 7mm inside width is 5.5mm

Cord Replacement Govee Glide

My dumb ass lost the other end of this control box for a fairly old Govee wall light. It’s the Glide. I was going to just buy a variety power supply. Just wanted to get some advice on if this would work or not. Thanks
