In discussing the characteristics and performance of various interconnect systems; two points should be kept in mind. Balance is defined in terms of the impedance of the two signal conductors with ...

Electronic interconnection designs for defense electronics, highly mobile robots, surgical monitoring devices and other embedded systems are rapidly changing. Signal speeds are increasing, and are ...

Why flat Ethernet cables are quietly ruining your high-speed home network ...

Usually when a cable television provider scrambles a signal it is rather difficult to descramble, if not impossible. However, I am supposed to receive channels 2-25 & 60-70 flawlessly (this is my ...

Well we want to move the ocmputer out of the living room, and there are no cable outlets in the back room, and so I was wondering about running a line there. First off I take it that coaxel (sp?) ...

Editor’s Note: Part 1 of this series examines the basic problems of high speed signals, PCBs, cables, and backplanes, and Part 2 discusses PCB and via design guidelines, looking at discontinuities, ...

In recent years, the computer and communications industries have witnessed the emergence of several gigabit interface standards. Examples include InfiniBand and 3GIO (now called PCI Express), ...

Interconnect cables play an important role in electronics testing. As high-speed signal communications continue to advance, cabling solutions will need to keep up with high-speed, multiport testing.
