We’ve all done it at some time — made an electrical connection by twisting together the bare ends of some wires. It’s quick, and easy, but because of how little force required to part it, not terribly ...

The IEEE in June approved the publication of the 802.3an-2006 standard, otherwise known as 10GBase-T. This document describes a physical layer (PHY) transmission device for 10Gbps Ethernet over ...

We all take Ethernet and its ubiquitous RJ-45 connector for granted these days. But Ethernet didn’t start with twisted pair cable. [Mark] and [Ben] at The Serial Port YouTube channel are taking a deep ...

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 ...

The size and length of the wire used can be flexibly changed depending on the size of stone or wire you have. * With this technique you can apply to most stone shapes, suitable for flat stones or ...

Oliver Kent of Muirhead Aerospace Ltd recently commented on my formula for twisted-pair line impedance (Figure 1). “I am using coated wire with 1.3-mm outer diameter and 0.95-mm inner diameter,” Kent ...
