    Gigabit Ethernet - CH 3 - Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethern

    Switched, Fast, and Gigabit Ethernet - CH 3 - Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethern.. Page 1 of 36 [Figures are not included in this sample chapter] Switched, Fast, and Gigabit Ethernet - 3 - Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet Standards This chapter discusses the theory and standards of the three versions of Ethernet around today: regular 10Mbps Ethernet, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet, and 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet. The goal of this chapter is to educate you as a LAN manager or IT professional about essential differences between shared 10Mbps Ethernet and these newer technologies. This chapter focuses on aspects of Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet that are relevant to you and doesn’t get into too much technical detail. Read this chapter and the following two (Chapter 4, "Layer 2 Ethernet Switching," and Chapter 5, "VLANs and Layer 3 Switching") together. This chapter focuses on the different Ethernet MAC and PHY standards, as well as repeaters, also known as hubs. Chapter 4 examines Ethernet bridging, also known as Layer 2 switching. Chapter 5 discusses VLANs, some basics of routing, and Layer 3 switching. These three chapters serve as a precursor to the second half of this book, namely the hands-on implementation in Chapters 8 through 12. After you understand the key differences between yesterday’s shared Ethernet and today’s Switched, Fast, and Gigabit Ethernet, evaluating products and building a network with these products should be relatively straightforward. The chapter is split into seven sections: l "Ethernet and the OSI Reference Model" discusses the OSI Reference Model and how Ethernet relates to the physical (PHY) and Media Access Control (MAC) layers of the OSI model.

  • KNOW the LINGO – WHAT IS Category CABLE?

    KNOW the LINGO – WHAT IS Category CABLE?

    KNOW THE LINGO – WHAT IS CategoRY CABLE? By: Joseph D. Cornwall, CTS-D Technology Evangelist—Lastar, Inc. Technical lingo is a kind of shorthand that’s used to express concepts common to that specific topic or area of study. Technical lingo is important because it provides a very precise or unique “shorthand” description of a device, effect or concept. Unfortunately, if you aren’t comfortable and familiar with the lingo of a topic it can be a tall hurdle to communicate efficiently with folks who consider the jargon of their field to be “self-explanatory.” In this series of articles we’ll lift the veils of misunderstanding from the lingo of the A/V industry. WHAT IS A CAT CABLE? The concept of Category cables was first set forth by the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) and is now maintained by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA). In 1991 the TIA/EIA-568-A standard was released (now revised to TIA/EIA-568-C) in an effort to define standards for telecommunications installations. In particular, the standard worked to define elements of balanced twisted pair cabling, fiber optic cabling and coaxial cabling, along with the associated connectors. The Cat cables discussed here are of the unshielded twisted pair (UTP) variety. You can’t be in the A/V or IT industry and not have heard of Cat5e and Cat6 cables. The Cat, as you might know, is short for “Category.” The term “Category” refers to the different levels of performance in signal bandwidth, attenuation and crosstalk associated with each cable’s design.
  • Wifi Interface Identifier from RF Industries

    Wifi Interface Identifier from RF Industries

    WiFi Interface Identifier from RF Industries Today’s wireless market has exposed us to many new, and some familiar connectors. The wide range of antennas, access points, routers, WLAN’s, cellular devices, PCMCIA cards, Bluetooth, and wireless broadband equipment now available to meet Wi-Fi IEEE802.11a/b/g requirements can sometimes seem bewildering. What are the input and output connectors used with Wi-Fi ® certified products which include: access points, gateways, residential gateways, PC cards, PCI cards, PCMCIA cards, UB devices, wireless print servers, WLAN enabled computers, PC peripherals, antennas, LANs and Internet access devices? Many of these connectors are not easily recognizable. We will try to give you a little background on the common Wi-Fi connectors and some tips to help you identify them. In addition to specialized interfaces which are relatively new to the coaxial market, such as DMX, MC Card, MHF, there are variations on standard RF connectors styles which satisfy FCC Part 15 and 802.11 requirements. The most popular method used to achieve compliance has been to create reverse polarity, or gender, versions of BNC, MCX, MMCX, N, SMA, SMB, SSMB and TNC connectors. You will also find reverse, or left- handed thread versions of N, SMA and TNC connectors. QMA QMA connectors are quick disconnecting versions of SMA connectors; they snap on and off rather than mate by turning threads. QMA’s couple in two seconds rather than twenty, but more importantly, they can be rotated 360 degrees after they are mated, optimizing the flexibility of installations and durability of jumpers. The QMA coupling mechanism creates a 360-degree butt joint that is maintained even with rotation, resulting in low RF leakage.

    Certified Data Cabling Installer (DCI) Competency Requirements

    Certified Data Cabling Installer (DCI) Competency Requirements Data Cabling Installers (DCI) are expected to obtain knowledge of basic concepts of copper cabling installation and service, which are then applicable to all the functions required to safely and competently install communications cabling and low voltage premises cabling. Network cabling has many options now and is being used for many applications in addition to data. Copper cabling is also combined with other media applications to create these networks. Once a DCI has acquired these skills, abilities and knowledge and with minimal training, the DCI should be able to enter employment in the telecommunications cabling field. Data Cabling Installers must be knowledgeable and have abilities in the following technical areas: 1.0 SAFETY 1.1 Describe the various forms of personal protective equipment (PPE) that data cabling technicians have at their disposal 1.2 Explain the safety best practices associated with the work area 1.3 Provide an overview of emergency response information and techniques for the workplace that can be found in Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS or SDS) described in the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) (29 CFR 1910.1200(g)), revised in 2012, and detailed in Appendix D of 29 CFR 1910.1200 2.0 BASIC ELECTRICITY 2.1 Describe the relationships between voltage, current, resistance and power 2.2 Identify components called resistors and also non-component types of resistance in cabling technology 2.3 Use Ohm’s law to calculate power usage and power losses in cabling

    Optimize Your RF/MW Coaxial Connections Dave Mcreynolds Director of Engineering RF Industries

    Optimize Your RF/MW Coaxial Connections Dave McReynolds Director of Engineering RF Industries /microwave connectors are small and often overlooked, but they serve as gateways for many RF electronic devices and systems, linking components and systems together to enable proper operation. Coaxial connectors are often taken for granted—until they fail. They are instrumental to the operation of many electronic devices and systems, from cellular telephones and wireless data networks to the most advanced radar and electronic-warfare (EW) systems. Whether designing or simply maintaining electronic devices and systems, understanding the role of the RF/microwave connector can help to boost both performance and reliability. Before exploring technical details about connectors, it might help to review some of their history. Connectors come in many shapes and sizes. They are used in a variety of electronic devices, from audio through millimeter-wave frequencies. The interface dimensions, machine tolerances, materials, even the plating and finish on those materials, all contribute to how well and how reliably a connector performs. Coaxial connectors are designed for mounting on the end of coaxial cables, on printed-circuit boards (PCBs), on panels, and on many different electronic component and device packages. Why there are so many different types of coaxial connectors and adapters is largely a matter of RF/microwave history and the evolution of high-frequency technology. With the evolving demands of higher-frequency applications, connector developers are pushed to achieve ever higher frequencies, smaller footprints, unique interfaces, and better performance with their designs. Anyone who has assembled a cable-television (CATV) system, with its F-type connector/cable assemblies, will appreciate the convenience of an electrical connector without necessarily being aware of its electrical and mechanical benefits.
