  • How to Choose the Right Cable Category
    How to Choose the Right Cable Category Why do I need a different category of cable? Not too long ago, when local area networks were being designed, each work area outlet typically consisted of one Category 3 circuit for voice and one Category 5e circuit for data. Category 3 cables consisted of four loosely twisted pairs of copper conductor under an overall jacket and were tested to 16 megahertz. Category 5e cables, on the other hand, had its four pairs more tightly twisted than the Category 3 and were tested up to 100 megahertz. The design allowed for voice on one circuit and data on the other. As network equipment data rates increased and more network devices were finding their way onto the network, this design quickly became obsolete. Companies wisely began installing all Category 5e circuits with often three or more circuits per work area outlet. Often, all circuits, including voice, were fed off of patch panels. This design allowed information technology managers to use any circuit as either a voice or a data circuit. Overbuilding the system upfront, though it added costs to the original project, ultimately saved money since future cable additions or cable upgrades would cost significantly more after construction than during the original construction phase. By installing all Category 5e cables, they knew their infrastructure would accommodate all their network needs for a number of years and that they would be ready for the next generation of network technology coming down the road. Though a Category 5e cable infrastructure will safely accommodate the widely used 10 and 100 megabit-per-second (Mbits/sec) Ethernet protocols, 10Base-T and 100Base-T respectively, it may not satisfy the needs of the higher performing Ethernet protocol, gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbits/sec), also referred to as 1000Base-T.

  • US Reports: Copperweld Corp. V. Independence Tube Corp
    OCTOBER TERM, 1983 Syllabus 467 U. S. COPPERWELD CORP. ET AL. v. INDEPENDENCE TUBE CORP. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT No. 82-1260. Argued December 5, 1983-Decided June 19, 1984 Petitioner Copperweld Corp. purchased petitioner Regal Tube Co., a man- ufacturer of steel tubing, from Lear Siegler, Inc., which had operated Regal as an unincorporated division, and which under the sale agree- ment was bound not to compete with Regal for five years. Copperweld then transferred Regal's assets to a newly formed, wholly owned subsid- iary. Shortly before Copperweld acquired Regal, David Grohne, who previously had been an officer of Regal, became an officer of Lear Siegler, and, while continuing to work for Lear Siegler, formed respond- ent corporation to compete with Regal. Respondent then gave Yoder Co. a purchase order for a tubing mill, but Yoder voided the order when it received a letter from Copperweld warning that Copperweld would be greatly concerned if Grohne contemplated competing with Regal and promising to take the necessary steps to protect Copperweld's rights under the noncompetition agreement with Lear Siegler. Respondent then arranged to have a mill supplied by another company. Thereafter, respondent filed an action in Federal District Court against petitioners and Yoder. The jury found, inter alia, that petitioners had conspired to violate § 1 of the Sherman Act but that Yoder was not part of the con- spiracy, and awarded treble damages against petitioners. The Court of Appeals affirmed.

Email:[email protected] Abstract Coaxial cable virtually keeps all the electromagnetic wave to the area inside it. Due to the mechanical properties, the In this research will discuss the more effective parameter is coaxial cable can be bent or twisted, also it can be strapped to the type of dielectric mediums (Polyimide, Polyethylene, and conductive supports without inducing unwanted currents in Teflon). the cable. The speed(S) of electromagnetic waves propagating This analysis of the performance related to dielectric mediums through a dielectric medium is given by: with respect to: Dielectric losses and its effect upon cable properties, dielectrics versus characteristic impedance, and the attenuation in the coaxial line for different dielectrics. The C: the velocity of light in a vacuum analysis depends on a simple mathematical model for coaxial cables to test the influence of the insulators (Dielectrics) µr: Magnetic relative permeability of dielectric medium performance. The simulation of this work is done using εr: Dielectric relative permittivity. Matlab/Simulink and presents the results according to the construction of the coaxial cable with its physical properties, The most common dielectric material is polyethylene, it has the types of losses in both the cable and the dielectric, and the good electrical properties, and it is cheap and flexible. role of dielectric in the propagation of electromagnetic waves.
