I have come across several times, though, a cable that only has 2 twisted pair of cables with only 4 of the pins being used and the remaining pins of the RJ45 connector left open.

While cable manufacturers provide relatively economical solutions to the NEXT and skew problems (cables with individually shielded twisted pairs for the first and cables with tightly controlled ...

So I purchased a CD-RW drive the other day (the 40x10x16x LG, which I like very much so far, btw) and in the course of installing it I managed to twist up one of my IDE cables pretty good, cause I ...

(b) Two EIA-232 (RS-232) serial data lines are run in 16m of data cable (not individual twisted pair) which has a core/core capacitance of 108 pF/m. The transmitters and receivers conform to the ...

Category 7A and 8 cables come with a large AWG22 cross-section anyway, so it’s non-critical. However, an old class D network with AWG24 cables that needs to be converted to PoE is a whole different ...

Within this realm, cable construction employs wire gauges smaller than the 24 gauge wire in the typical UTP cable. Twisted-pair wire size in those dedicated cables ranges from about 28 gauge to 32 ...

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 taki… ...
