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 ...

We all take Ethernet and its ubiquitous RJ-45 connector for granted these days. But Ethernet didn’t start with twisted pair cable. [Mark] and [Ben] at The Serial Port YouTube channel are taking a deep ...

The availability of powerful I2C buffers that drive their I/Os on both sides to a nominal ground or ‘zero offset’ logic level allows the removal of noise introduced into one section of a larger bus ...

Networks are becoming increasingly important, and not only in IT environments, but also production and post production. But they are only as good as the cables that connect them. Sommer Cable is one ...

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 ...

Although the process of terminating twisted-pair copper cabling may seem to be relatively simple on the surface, the issues involved with properly creating robust connections for today's high ...

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 ...

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 ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. World demand for gaming/entertainment systems continues unabated, with forecasts showing annually rising growth rates.

I have 4 pair (8 wire) telephone cable running all through the house. One pair of wire is for the telephone. Is is possible to use the three remaining pairs (6 wires) as an ethernet cable? It is kind ...

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 ...
