...of connectors. • The cable • The USB 3.0 cable contains nine wires, four more than USB 2.0, which has one pair for data and one pair for power. USB 3.0 adds two more data pairs, for a total of eight plus a ground. These extra pairs enable USB 3.0...

...is always useful for cable management. • Rails. • A main cabinet component is one or two pairs of vertical rails with mounting holes to which you attach your equipment or shelves. The most common spacing between rails is 19 inches with hole-to-ho...

...connecting IEEE-488 cables, some rules apply. The total number of devices should be 15 or less. The total length of all cables should not exceed 2 metres multiplied by the number of connected devices, up to a maximum of 20 metres. And no more th...

...the insertion. • Copper Cable • In copper cable, insertion loss measures electrical power lost from the beginning of the run to the end. • Fibre Cable • In fibre cable, insertion loss (also called optical loss) measures the amount of light lost from...

...pair within a four-pair cable. TSB-67 requires that pair-to-pair NEXT be measured on all pair combinations in a cable. The worst pair-to-pair NEXT measure should not exceed the cable's specified limits. • PS-NEXT is a much more rigorous crosstalk me...

...of terminating SCSI cables. Active terminators control the impedance at the end of the SCSI bus by using a voltage regulator, not just the power supplied by the interface card. • Passive termination. • A passive terminator sits on the bus to min...

...such as Ultra SCSI Fast-20 and the new Low-Voltage Differential Signal (LVDS) technology. • Because of SCSI-5’s special offset cable exit, up to four channels can be accommodated in one card slot. Connections are also easier where space is limited.

...of two modes: serial or parallel. • In serial mode, the data stream is transmitted one bit at a time. • In parallel mode, multiple bits are sent simultaneously. • Generally, serial cables have DB9 connectors; parallel cables have DB25 connectors.

...means the interconnect cable requires less board space. • Thinner cables • Serial ATA also uses thinner cables (no more than 6.3mm wide) that are available in longer lengths (up to 1 metre) as well as an improved connector design to reduce crosstal...
