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 ...

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 ...

Telecom equipment maker Ericsson says the unthinkable is now the possible: 500Mbps transmission speeds over ordinary copper wiring. Looking at the details, though, it’s not clear that the news will ...

Old transmission medium remains relevant in the age of wireless and fibre Cost effective, backwards compatible and can deliver power too Remains a core transmission medium for data centres, domestic ...

When you need to communicate beyond Ethernet's copper distance limits, and putting in new fiber cabling is just not an option, Acromag's Ethernet i2o peer-to-peer I/O modules are your solution. With ...

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 ...

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 ...

Is that sleek, flat cable secretly killing your internet speed? We looked at the "twisted-pair" science to see which cable design is better.

Britain's copper cables won't be able to support demand for faster and faster broadband in future, a new study warns. In experiments, researchers have found that the UK's existing copper network ...

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 ...
