Moving vast amounts of data between two points quickly, reliably and economically is what many designers are facing regularly when building their systems. When it comes to using copper cables as a ...

Recently the IEEE P802.3bq Task Force was formed to create a standard for 40-gigabit Ethernet over copper twisted-pair cabling (40GBASE-T). This is the next generation following 10-gigabit Ethernet ...

Why should twisted-pair cabling, used in large quantities to carry 4-kHz voice signals in the phone system, suddenly work well at 100 MHz and beyond? The simple answer is that it doesn’t. All ...

Advances in cable, connector, and driver designs make it possible to send DVI and HDMI signals over longer distances.Now that sending RGB analog video long distance over Cat 5 is well accepted, it ...

Transmitting video signals over long distances can be tricky. Cheap co-ax cables won’t do the job. You either need amplifiers along the path, or need to use expensive, high quality shielded co-ax ...

The transmission medium is the physical vehicle that facilitates the transport of information. Guided transmission media use a solid medium (cable) for transmission. There are many cables, but the ...

DSL isn't dead—in fact, I'm using it right now—but there's plenty of talk about the state of its health, much of it grim. As cable and fiber-to-the-home connections gain subscribers and speed, the ...

A thin-diameter wire (22 to 26 gauge) commonly used for telephone and network cabling. The wires are twisted around each other to minimize interference from other twisted pairs in the cable. Alexander ...

But first, let’s discuss the importance of versatility. WD-40, owned, branded, and manufactured by the WD-40 manufacturing company in San Diego, California, is one of the most versatile products on ...

These days, it seems as if the world is tied together with network cable. Although we may take a wired world for granted, the consequence is that we rely on wires to connect us to anything and ...

When installing a shielded cable or a twisted pair cable in a Class I, Division 1 location where a cable seal is required, when is it not required to remove the shielding material or separate the ...
