Coaxial cable, or coax (pronounced / ˈkoʊ.æks / ), is a type of electrical cable consisting of an inner conductor surrounded by a concentric conducting shield, with the two separated by a dielectric ( insulating material); many coaxial cables also have a protective outer sheath or jacket. The term coaxial refers to the inner conductor and ...
Hybrid fiber-coaxial. Hybrid fiber-coaxial ( HFC) is a broadband telecommunications network that combines optical fiber and coaxial cable. It has been commonly employed globally by cable television operators since the early 1990s. [1]
S/PDIF ( Sony/Philips Digital Interface) [1] [2] is a type of digital audio interface used in consumer audio equipment to output audio over relatively short distances. The signal is transmitted over either a coaxial cable using RCA or BNC connectors, or a fibre-optic cable using TOSLINK connectors. S/PDIF interconnects components in home ...
History. The first Ethernet standard, known as 10BASE5 (ThickNet) in the family of IEEE 802.3, specified baseband operation over 50 ohm coaxial cable, which remained the principal medium into the 1980s, when 10BASE2 (ThinNet) coax replaced it in deployments in the 1980s; both being replaced in the 1990s when thinner, cheaper twisted pair cabling came to dominate the market.
A high-voltage cable ( HV cable) is a cable used for electric power transmission at high voltage. A cable includes a conductor and insulation. Cables are considered to be fully insulated. This means that they have a fully rated insulation system that will consist of insulation, semi-con layers, and a metallic shield.
3C-2V is commonly marked on low cost coaxial cable used for domestic TV signals. It is one of the options of the Japanese cable standard JIS C 3501. The 3 indicates approx diameter of the conductive core plus the dielectric (diameter of conductive core =0.5 mm, dielectric thickness =1.3 mm) The C indicates a characteristic impedance of 75 ohms ...
Direct-buried cable. Cross-section of direct buried cable. Direct-buried cable ( DBC) is a kind of communications or transmissions electrical cable which is especially designed to be buried under the ground without any other cover, sheath, or duct to protect it. [1]
Ethernet. Ethernet ( / ˈiːθərnɛt / EE-thər-net) is a family of wired computer networking technologies commonly used in local area networks (LAN), metropolitan area networks (MAN) and wide area networks (WAN). [1] It was commercially introduced in 1980 and first standardized in 1983 as IEEE 802.3.
