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 ...

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 ...

The dream of one day being able to make use of 40Gbps Ethernet for enterprise networks cmes one step closer to being reality as infrastructure solutions leader CommScope successfully demonstrated the ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...
