A scissor switch keyboard has keys held closer to the keyboard, increasing longevity and responsiveness but making cleaning harder. The X-shaped switch limits key movement, increasing lifespan, but makes it harder to clean under keys. Scissor switches are more expensive but offer better typing experience and aesthetics. A scissor switch is a type of switch […]
A gigabit switch connects multiple devices to a LAN and allows for faster data transfer than standard Ethernet. It should be distinguished from a hub and used with other compatible devices and fast internet speeds. CAT6 cables are recommended for optimal performance. In computer networks, an Ethernet switch connects multiple devices, such as computers, servers, […]
An Ethernet switch connects parts of a computer network and transmits data at standard Ethernet speeds. It must meet specific speed requirements and manages connections through a table of destination addresses and ports. It creates micro-segmentation in a LAN setup and improves network effectiveness. An Ethernet switch is a network switch that transmits data at […]
A switch port is a physical opening for data cables on a network switch. Switches facilitate computer networking and allow devices to interact via data transfer.

The switch is activated when the float reaches a certain level, and turns off when the float stabilizes at a […]
Tactile switches are manually controlled electrical contacts used for power control in homes and industrial applications. They can be capacitive or resistance-based and are used for safety and convenience in applications such as doorknobs and elevator floor selectors. Electronic switches have a longer life than ordinary switches, which can vaporize due to the arc. Tactile […]
A kill switch is a safety device that immediately shuts down machinery or equipment in emergency situations. It can be automatic or manual, and is used to prevent injury or death to people in the vicinity. It can also be triggered by computer systems to prevent power surges or machine malfunctions. Also known as a […]
A main circuit breaker supplies electricity to a building, regulating the current and cutting off the supply if overloaded. It can be manually activated and is connected to a bus bar that conducts electricity. The amperage level is noted on the breaker and should be sufficient for modern homes. A main circuit breaker is the […]
Final stopping is the interruption of an idea at the end of a poetic line. It can make poetry more accessible. Limitless poetry can be confusing but provides flexibility.
