When it comes to building a reliable, high-performance network, the right cables are only part of the equation. Choosing the proper network accessories is just as important to ensure your installation is efficient, scalable, and long-lasting.
At ATTAC-SA, we don’t just supply high-quality copper and fibre cables—we also stock a full range of networking accessories to support any project, large or small.
Here are the top 5 accessories every installer or IT professional should have on hand:
1. Patch Panels
Patch panels are critical for organised cable management and easy troubleshooting. They allow you to connect and label each cable clearly, helping technicians quickly identify and reroute lines when needed.
- Helps maintain a tidy, professional rack setup
- Essential for structured cabling systems
- Ideal for server rooms, data centres, and office installations
2. Keystone Jacks and Faceplates
Keystone jacks are the termination points for Ethernet runs. Combined with faceplates, they give a clean, user-friendly connection point at the wall.
- Easy to install and replace
- Compatible with Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a cables
- Ideal for office workstations, conference rooms, and wall outlets
3. Network Cabinets and Racks
For centralising and protecting your networking gear, you’ll need a solid cabinet or open-frame rack. These house patch panels, switches, and other equipment while keeping everything ventilated and accessible.
- Protects hardware and improves airflow
- Optional locking doors for added security
- Ideal for server rooms and secure network environments
4. Cable Management Tools
From Velcro straps to cable trays and ducting systems, proper cable management isn’t just about neatness—it also protects cables from damage and makes future maintenance easier.
- Reduces strain and interference
- Improves aesthetics and safety
- Essential for any size project
5. RJ45 Connectors and Boots
RJ45 connectors are used to terminate Ethernet cables. Pair them with strain-relief boots to protect connections from bending or breaking over time.
