...Fibre optic cable is becoming one of the fastest-growing transmission mediums for both new cabling installations and upgrades, including backbone, horizontal, and even desktop applications. Fibre optic cable is favored for applications t...

...A standard USB cable features two different kinds of connectors. A USB Type A connector plugs into a host device, such as your PC. The USB Type B connector plugs into the peripheral. Having two different types of connectors helps to prevent...

...Gigabit over Category 5 cable has been approved, enabling short stretches of Gigabit speed over existing copper cable. Today, you have many choices when implementing Gigabit Ethernet: • 1000BASE-X • 1000BASE-X refers collectively to the IEEE802.3z s...

...is to have a connection cable that supports DDC transmission ( VGA: pins 12 an 15 need to be connected). • An extender or a switch in between? • But what happens if there is an extender or a switch in between? A lot of them do not support DDC at all...

...level not protected by cable shielding, and it's possible to monitor these signals outside the secure zone using a radio receiver. Even without a Trojan, a sophisticated receiver located nearby picks up and views what's on the VGA monitor. • What T...

...for multifiber ribbon cable that generally contains 6, 8, 12, or 24 fibers. It is defined by IEC-61754-7 and EIA/TIA-604-5-D, also known as FOCIS 5. The MPO connector, combined with lightweight ribbon cable, represents a huge technological advance...

...on 75-ohm BNC coax cable for transmission — the same cabling traditionally used for analog video communications. • SDI interfaces are standardized by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) and include: standard-definitio...

...twisted-pair (STP) cable using either a DB9 connector or a unique square connector called the IBM data connector. Later, Token Ring was adapted to use conventional unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors. The most common kinds...
