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 ...

At the basic level, cables have pairs of wires twisted together with a plastic covering (UTP, or Unshielded Twisted Pair), but some cables have metallic or foil shielding (STP or FTP, which stand ...

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 ...

Longer Ethernet cables can be less effective than shorter ones, but CableMatters has reduced the potential for bandwidth loss by segmenting the sets of twisted pairs inside this cable to reduce ...

We'll be testing a $199 audiophile-grade CAT 8 ethernet cable to determine if it improves our digital music streaming experience. Latest Stories 66; ... the QED Reference Ethernet uses 99.999% ...

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 ...

I’ve run many single cable to the desktop runs. 2 pair for ethernet, 1 pair for phone. Saved a few miles of cape that way. Not to mention a few conduits that would have been awfully tight otherwise.
