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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Why flat Ethernet cables are quietly ruining your high-speed home network ...

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 ...

Every day thousands of smart devices use Ethernet cables to join the Internet of Things (IoT). Understandably, most of this connectivity happens in benign indoor locations where temperature and ...
