Multimode vs. single-mode fibre. • Multimode vs. Singlemode Fibre • Multimode fibre cable has a large-diameter core and therefore has multiple modes of propagation—that is, several wavelengths of light are used in the fibre core. It’s primaril...
SCSI-1, -2, -3 and -5 • SCSI 1, 2, 3 and 5 connectors • The original SCSI standard was approved in 1986. It supports transfer rates of up to 5 Megabytes per second (MBps) and 7 SCSI devices on an 8-bit bus. The most common connector for SCSI-1...
Category 5 and 5e • Category 5 and 5e • Category 5 • Category 5 (CAT5) cabling is good, solid cable for 100-Mbps LANs. The Category 5 standard has been around since 1991, so it’s well established. You’ll find existing Category 5 installations ...
