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 ...

Back in 1881 when Alexander Graham Bell invented twisted pair cables he could never have imagined they would still be in use today and that we owe so much of our high speed IT cables to his invention.

Cables for the transport of radio frequency signals are almost invariably coaxial, apart from a few specialized applications such as HF aerial feeder which may use balanced lines. Coax's outstanding ...

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 ...

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 ...

DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort systems each include four lanes of differential interconnect for digital-video signaling. Provided the differential paths maintain the transmitted signals in differential ...
