Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a twisted pair crossover cable to connect two 100vg hubs together?

ProCurve Networking by HP - Support - FAQs
No. Since 100vg technology uses all 8 wires "straight-through" for high speed transmission, crossover cables cannot be used. Uplink and downlink ports exist on 100vg hubs to allow the hubs to be connected using "straight-through" cables.

Is EURIDIS used only with twisted pair cable?

Nowadays, EURIDIS is the only international standard working with twisted pair cables for the remote reading of residential meters. The basic solution uses a field bus for communication. Nevertheless, because it may be difficult in some cases to install the two-wire EURIDIS cable, new AMR technologies have been designed over the last few years.

Will the Fiber Optic Cable directly connect to my computer?

FAQ
No, there will be a CAT5 or twin copper wire connecting your computer to the Fiber Optic backbone passing through the main thoroughfare of the city via Distribution switches and other equipments in your locality.

Which cable Is better, Unscreened Twisted Pair (UTP) or Screened Twisted Pair (STP)?

Manufacturers of Video Switches, Routers and Extenders.
UTP cable will give the best quality video over long distances because it has less capacitance per unit length. However, STP may be a better choice in electrically noisy environments.

Do you have an optic to couple the light from a high-power LED into a fiber optic cable?

FraenSRL-Optical Solutions
Yes, we a have a standard coupler designed to put the light into a 7mm to 8mm diameter fiber bundle or lightpipe. If you have a requirement for a smaller or larger diameter, please contact us. However, consider that the efficiency will reduce dramatically as the optic diameter is reduced.

What is the difference between coaxial cable and fiber optic cable?

Welcome to Home Town Cable
Coaxial cable is pure copper or copper-coated wire surrounded by insulation with an aluminum covering used to transmit television, telephone and data signals. Fiber optic cable is also used to deliver the same types of signals but can carry much wider bands of frequencies. It's made of very thin, pliable tubes of glass or plastic.

How do I connect two 100vg Hubs together with twisted pair cable?

ProCurve Networking by HP - Support - FAQs
To connect 100vg hubs with twisted pair cable, you must use the uplink and downlink ports on the 100vg hubs. The hub that is connected to the server is called the "root level" hub. Hubs connected to the root level hub are called the "second tier" hubs, and hubs connected to the second tier hubs are called the "third tier" hubs, etc. To connect a root level hub to a second tier hub, you connect a cable from a downlink port on the root level hub to an uplink port on the second tier hub.

Q12: What is the twisted-pair cable for Gigabit Ethernet?

faq_gigabit
Category 5 cable is preferred to be using with twisted-pair Ethernet in structured wiring environments. This will ensure correct operation of all ports at 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps. Note that for Gigabit Ethernet, all 4 pairs of the twisted-pair cable are used for transmission and receiving signals.

What is Fiber Optic?

I n f o C h a n n e l ] Customer Centre | Frequently Asked Q...
A technology that uses glass (or plastic) threads (fibers) to transmit data. A fiber optic cable consists of a bundle of glass threads, each of which is capable of transmitting messages modulated (to blend data into a carrier signal) onto light waves. quot;Cookies" are the little bits of information that Web sites leave on your system to identify you (and your interests) when you return to the same web site.

Are there any requirements or limitations in OC Series Fiber Optic DVI cable?

Get the eye, get Purelink...
Certain DVI sources such as the Evertz video processor and certain scalers do not have 5V coming out of pin#14 of DVI output. This is not in line with DDWG's DVI specification. Our OC obtains power from the video source's DVI pin#14 and if this power is not available, OC will not operate properly. For these type of video sources, we recommend using our DVI-G5P adapter(DVI female to DVI female adapter with 5V input) to be used between the video source and OC cable to feed the 5V power.

Why does the FutureFLEX fiber optic cable look different form conventional cable?

While the fiber in FutureFLEX ABF is the same type of glass as conventional fiber, ABF bundles are vastly different in appearance. They contain 2 to 18 strands of singlemode or multimode fiber, and are typically 1/40 the size of comparable conventional cable. This is because no strength members or fillers are required to protect fibers from the performance-damaging stresses of installation.

Why do I need a special Twisted Pair Cable for Computer Video Signal (VGA-XGA) transmission?

ALTINEX, Inc | Support
A standard CAT5 / CAT5e or CAT6 cable is made for computer network signal transmission where each twisted pair could be of different lengths. Using standard twisted pair cable could cause a color shift known as "skew." We recommend the Altinex No-skew Twisted Pair Cables, CB3150PV or CB5600PL, to minimize color shift (skew) on long cable runs.

Q13: Why a twisted-pair cable works for 10Mbps hub but not work for 100Mbps hub?

faq_lan card
M bps runs at Cat. 5 twisted-pair cable will cause some cross-talk signal. If the 3rd and 6th wire of RJ-45 connector are not belong at the same twisted pair. That will cause problem with longer distance as above 40 meters. User should check the wiring before install the 100Mbps network.

What type of twisted pair cable is normally used for MultiTasker applications? CAT-5, CAT-5e, CAT-6?

What is a MultiTasker? A FAQ from Altinex
All Twisted Pair products from Altinex can either use any common CAT-5, CAT-5E or CAT6 cable. This makes the connection of AV products over an existing network easy and cost effective. Altinex twist pair products, MultiTasker based or Stand alone, have build in equalization that allows correction of a video signal for long cable runs. To ensure the best results and the longest distance possible Altinex offers no-skew twisted pair cable which does not require any equalization.

What kind of wire to use with FORESIGHT Twisted Pair Transmission products?

Unshielded Twisted Paired Transmission - FAQ
Use UTP (unshielded twisted pair) CAT 5 24 AWG (or over) to have the best transmission quality performance. To use STP (shielded twisted pair) cable, the shielded would cause internal signal interference, so the transmission range would be shorter ( 1.5KM--- >0.8KM) than UTP cable. Un-twisted wire not to be recommended, which easy have interference and range would be shorter.

What is the advantage to use FORESIGHT Twisted Pair Transmission products?

Unshielded Twisted Paired Transmission - FAQ
Coaxial cabling transmission over 200 meters (RG59), the video signal would loss and have bad video image. Using FORESIGHT passive video transceiver range could up to 300 meters (Color), 600 meters (B/W), even 1KM, 2.4KM to work with active transceiver. To use FORESIGHT TDP414V/TTP414V 4 channel transceiver/cable hub, only need one single CAT 5 cable to transmit 4 video signals for cable saving and fast installation.

What preventive maintenance steps should I consider for my fiber optic cable ends and switch optics?

ProCurve Networking by HP - Support - FAQs
transmission speeds increase over fiber optic cabling, dirt and debris on the connectors become more of an issue. A dirty fiber optic cable that works properly for 10 Megabit transmission might cause bit errors when the same cable is used for 100 Megabit or Gigabit transmission. The document titled Preventive Maintenance of Fiber Optic Cables and Optics provides a set of recommendations for cleaning both the fiber optic cable ends and the switch optics to which the cables connect.

Why should we use a fiber-optic laser beam delivery system?

Frequently asked questions about the Point Source range of l...
If you are happy with free space laser beam delivery there is no need to use a fiber-optic solution. However, implementing a fiber solution could provide a very superior technical solution in terms of performance as follows. A fiber can provide a truly co-linear beam for multiple laser lines combined at the fiber input. This removes the need for complex optomechanical design and beam adjustments. A fiber can act as spatial filter and eliminate laser beam astigmatism and poor mode quality.
