Hello all,<P>My question concerns 10BaseT network cables. I have seen the cat 5 cables pretty much standard in all networks. These of course have the RJ45 connectors with all 8 pins being filled with ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Although it probably feels like forever to many of us since Category 5 Ethernet cabling became prevalent, now that 2.5 and even 5 Gbit Ethernet has trickled into the mainstream, a pertinent question ...

The proliferation of personal computers and especially video applications has created a requirement for sending high speed analog signals over twisted pair for short distances (up to 200 feet).

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
