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… ...

Twisted-pair Ethernet, one of the most commonly used types of network cabling, has played a crucial role in shaping modern communication. From the earliest days of networking to its current status as ...

When it comes to using copper cables as a transmission media in these data transport systems, twisted pair cables present many advantages, one of them being low cost. The low cost incentive these ...

Lest anyone think badly of copper ethernet, I’d point out that completely passive twisted-pair cables are doing pretty well versus, say, thunderbolt or usb-c in general. 40Gbit and 70 watts ...

Said shielding protects the twisted pairs of wires inside the Ethernet cable, which helps prevent crosstalk and noise interference. Cat 6 cables technically support speeds up to 10Gbps for up to ...

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 ...

Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology allows a twisted-pair Ethernet cable to provide power to electric devices, in addition to data. This is most commonly found in Internet of Things (IoT) devices ...

The RJ45 cable, also known as an Ethernet cable, is a standard cable which has four twisted pairs of colors. It is easy to crimp a RJ45 cable and make it into a straight cable or cross the cable as ...
