...long haul. Depending on cable type, FDDI networks can stretch up to 100 km in circumference. And FDDI speed can be improved. If the second ring is used as its own network, both rings can operate individually at speeds as fast as 200 Mbps. • This fea...

...required. Copper-wire cable can be video coax, miniature coax, or, most commonly, shielded twisted pair with a DB9 or HSSDC connector. Fibre choices include 62.5- or 50-µm multimode and 7- or 9-µm single-mode fibre, all with an SC connector. • Oth...

...through the data cable. • Excess voltage • If the voltage potential is large enough, your equipment won’t be able to handle the excess voltage and one of your ports will be damaged. • You can’t test for ground loops. You don’t know you have o...

...high-fibre-count ribbon cable. It’s used in high-density fibre applications. • The MU connector • resembles the larger SC connector. It uses a simple push-pull latching connection and is well suited for high-density applications. • Learn more: • Fla...

...Possible causes: • Bad cable or cable that’s too long, causing either the video signals or EDID/HDCP control signals not to be transmitted properly. Make sure that you use quality, high-speed HDMI® cables—they don’t even have to be expensive ones—o...

IP-Based Distribution • IP-Based A/V Distribution • IP-based distribution technologies use transmitters and receivers to extend signals over a TCP/IP network (a LAN or even a WAN, for instance). Oftentimes, they’re called IP streamers when use...

...etc. S/PDIF is based on the professional AES3 interconnect standard. • S/PDIF signals are carried over two types of cables. The first is a 75-ohm coaxial cable with orange RCA connectors. The second is a fiber cable with TOSLINK connectors.
