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 ...

If you're an old geezer like me, the idea of using unshielded cable to run audio is still a pretty new idea. Sure, those IT people who installed your computer network have been using unshielded ...

A family of single-chip 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet physical layer transceivers from Microchip are designed for transmitting data over unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. For use with inshielded ...

The IEEE in June approved the publication of the 802.3an-2006 standard, otherwise known as 10GBase-T. This document describes a physical layer (PHY) transmission device for 10Gbps Ethernet over ...

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 ...
