Time was we'd need to cable everything up and ensure we got our cables the right sides (was white Left channel, or was Red?) whereas with Wifi and Bluetooth we have more accessibility to more options than ever!

Managing Home Video
One you've got the Bluetooth network of your dreams, it's time to sort out your visuals.
HDMI is the modern staple for video. While some devices will still support SCART, HDMI is the de-facto audio-visual cable. Carrying HD visuals and stereo audio in one single cable makes HDMI simpler to connect and use than other methods.
Despite that, sometimes you just need a little more versatility. Maybe you want to see your games console up on multiple screens, or want your DVD, Set Top and Console all connected to a TV at once? HDMI adapters can add more connections, split signals, and even let you remote-control HDMI sources, to switch without having to jab the adapter.

Managing Home Power
All these devices and connections only really matter if they're powered! If you have Bluetooth devices or modern laptops, tablets, even smart watches, then power delivery is vital.
Larger pieces like your TV will happily plug into a 3-Pin mains socket, but more and more devices are being converted to USB charging / power cables. Beyond that, some are even being made USB-C only!
Home power adapters can ensure you have the right plug types, to the right powered ports, connected to the right cables. From converting USB-C to USB 3.0 or having a mains plug that supports all of Europe, UK, US and Australia in one!
Not sure what a Plug Type actually is, or need some clarity on all this USB-C, USB-A, USB 3.0 stuff? Follow our guide and learn about different power delivery options in 2024.
