Light Injector • Light Injector • When you need to re-route or change a patch cable in crowded cabling cabinet, you can't be 100% sure you'll pick the right cable, unless both ends are clearly identified. Disconnecting the wrong cables may bre...
Category 7/Class F • Category 7/Class F • Category 7/Class F (ISO/IEC 11801:2002) specifies a frequency range of 1–600 MHz over 100 meters of fully shielded twisted-pair cabling. It encompasses four individually shielded pairs inside an overal...
Gigabit Ethernet • Gigabit Ethernet • As workstations and servers migrated from ordinary 10-Mbps Ethernet to 100-Mbps speeds, it became clear that even greater speeds were needed. Gigabit Ethernet was developed for an even faster Ethernet stan...
Component vs. channel testing. • Component vs. channel testing • Channel Testing • When using a Category 6 system, the full specification includes the testing of each part individually and in an end-to-end-channel. Because CAT6 is an open stan...
Ethernet Extensions • Ethernet extensions • Not a solution that you can do inmediately or for somewhat money. • Computer cables can only be too short, but never too long. The same applies to networking cables. Sometimes it is just the last met...
PoE phantom power • PoE phantom power • PoE over Gigabit Ethernet • 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet use only two pairs of wire in 4-pair CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6 cable, leaving the other two pairs free to transmit power for Power over Ethernet (PoE) a...
Standard and ThinNet Ethernet • Thick and ThinNet Ethernet: 10-Mbps • As a result of research done at Xerox Corporation in the early 1970s, Ethernet has evolved into the most widely implemented physical and Data link layer protocol today. Most...
