Swiss cabling specialist Reichle & De-Massari has launched the world’s thinnest Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) copper trunk cable. The new ThinCompact Cat.6A cable shaves almost 70 percent off the bulk ...

Richmond, Ind. — Belden developed shielded, twisted-pair (STP) plenum-rated cables, a series of low-capacitance, 2- and 3-pair cables featuring a smaller outside diameter and low-smoke insulation and ...

A thin-diameter wire (22 to 26 gauge) commonly used for telephone and network cabling. The wires are twisted around each other to minimize interference from other twisted pairs in the cable. Alexander ...

Back in 1881 when Alexander Graham Bell invented twisted pair cables he could never have imagined they would still be in use today and that we owe so much of our high speed IT cables to his invention.

Why should twisted-pair cabling, used in large quantities to carry 4-kHz voice signals in the phone system, suddenly work well at 100 MHz and beyond? The simple answer is that it doesn’t. All ...

Coaxial cable: Coax is good for short wire runs in low-noise environments. Its thick copper construction yields low signal losses. As an unbalanced transmission-line, its interference immunity is poor ...
