Primarily available in three different types, each Cat 6 cable type having specific pros and cons suited to specific applications. <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/c_cat6_bulk_cable.aspx">Solid cat6 ethernet network cable</a>, the most commonly used, is comprised of a PVC, Riser, or Plenum jacket and solid core conductors. Solid core conductors allow Cat6 cable to be run long distances while maintaining performance, but reduces flex durability. This makes solid Cat 6 cable perfect for permanent installations. <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/c_cat6_bulk_cable.aspx">Stranded Cat 6 cable</a> is comprised of a PVC jacket and stranded core conductors making it very flexible. This flexibility allows it to be flexed many times with little or no negative effects on performance, making it perfect for building patch cables. Riser cable is used when running vertically such as between floors of a building. The riser ratings fire retardancy helps prevent fires from spreading by way of the cable. Plenum cable is built with a low smoke, fire retardant jacket that makes it safe for use in plenum air spaces (check your local building codes for plenum requirements).</div>ComputerCableStore.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04670769556761877448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8718997478805265395.post-69459842587007363852010-06-28T11:27:00.000-07:002010-06-28T11:45:22.781-07:00ATen Products at ComputerCableStore.com<a href="http://www.aten-usa.com/images/ATEN-logo.gif"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 132px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 59px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.aten-usa.com/images/ATEN-logo.gif" /></a><br /><div>The Computer Cable Store is excited to announce we now carry a full line of <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/c_aten.aspx">ATEN's quality KVM Switches</a>.

After you have prepared the end of the cable you may begin to mix the epoxy resin and hardener together and load it into a syringe, unless of course you are using pre-loaded epoxy syringes, which are premixed and kept frozen until use. Now, from the syringe you must inject the epoxy directly into the connector ferrule.Once you have your connector properly prepared with epoxy, you are ready to insert the fiber cable so that the cable is seated inside of the connector wall and the bare fiber core sticks out about a half an inch from the front of the ferrule. At this point, if your cable is jacketed, you will want to use a crimping tool such as the <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/Premier_Master_Crimp_Tool_PID1363.aspx">Premier Master Crimp Tool</a> to secure the connector to the jacket and strength members of the cable. Two crimps may be required to accomplish this properly.The next step in the process is allowing the epoxy to cure. Place the connected end into a curing holder to ensure that the end of the fiber is not damaged while curing. Now place the cable and curing holder into a curing oven. To avoid “wicking” while curing with a conventional oven, situate the connector so that the end is facing down. This positioning will ensure that the epoxy does not come out of the back side of the connector and compromise the strength member of the cable. Refer to the documentation of your specific epoxy for accurate curing times and temperatures.Having sufficiently cured the epoxy you are now ready to move on to the next step, cleaving the excess protruding fiber core. You will want to cleave the fiber with a fiber cleaver tool such as the <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/FiberOpticx_Economy_Fiber_PID22534.aspx">FiberOpticx Economy Fiber Cleaver</a>, as close to the ferrule tip as possible while avoiding any sort of twisting motion. Once cleaved, it is important that you properly dispose of the fiber clipping. A regular piece of tape will do just fine at retaining your fiber debris. If you do not properly dispose of all fiber pieces they could easily end up in your skin or even in somebody’s eye or respiratory system. A short strand of fiber can cause more damage than you would at first imagine.With the excess fiber cleaved and properly disposed of, you may begin the task of polishing the fiber end to a smooth finish. Using either <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/Ivory_Polishing_Film_PID1843.aspx">fiber polishing film</a> or a <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/Plastic_Fiber_Optic_Polis_PID1841.aspx">fiber polishing tool</a> you will effectively remove any excess epoxy from the ferrule tip and buff out any imperfections on the face of the fiber. Without a smooth fiber surface any light passing through is subject to loss. The idea is to start with a coarse grit and work your way to a very fine grit film.If you are satisfied with your polished finish then you may move on to the cleaning of the ferrule and fiber tip. With a lint-free wipe dipped in 99% reagent-grade alcohol, gently wipe the surface area of the ferrule and fiber tip and immediately wipe them dry with another dry lint-free wipe. You may optionally use a can of compressed air to finish the process.Your connectorized cable is now complete. To ensure good standards, however, it is wise to inspect the tip with a 100x to 200x microscope such as the <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/Fiber_Inspection_Microsco_PID1362.aspx">Fiber Inspection Microscrope</a>. Finally, test your cable with an <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/VFF5_Visual_Fault_Finder_PID1376.aspx">optical fiber testing tool</a> for insertion loss and return loss where needed.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/fiber_termination.aspx">How to Terminate Fiber Optic Cable</a>ComputerCableStore.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04670769556761877448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8718997478805265395.post-82590931611543312102008-08-08T11:27:00.000-07:002008-08-08T11:50:00.484-07:00Blank Patch Panels - Whats So GREAT about them?<a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/images/products/No%20Manufacturer/11-WRP-IBM-M-12-sm.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.computercablestore.com/images/products/No%20Manufacturer/11-WRP-IBM-M-12-sm.jpg" border="0" /></a> Here at the ComputerCableStore.com we stock and sell a full line of patch panels, including your common standard CAT5e and CAT6 Patch Panels in addition to a large variety of not so common or even hard to find patch panels.

More often than not we <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/images/products/No%20Manufacturer/0-H48969.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.computercablestore.com/images/products/No%20Manufacturer/0-H48969.jpg" border="0" /></a>see users order VGA cables rather SVGA cables most likely due to cost. While the cables are terminated the same and the SVGA connectors look that same, VGA monitor Cables and SVGA Monitor cables are not equal by any <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/images/products/No%20Manufacturer/0-SVGA3XC9C-SM.jpg"></a>means. <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/c_monitor_cables.aspx">SVGA monitor cables </a>are made a quality bulk cable comprised of 3 Mini Coax and 4 twisted pairs, while on the other hand VGA monitor cables are comprised of conductors only. Conductors work perfectly fine for legacy monitors/displays that won't exceed 640 x 480 pixels. Anything beyond a 640 x 480 resolution should using a SVGA monitor cable. The conductors of VGA monitor cables are just not capable of carrying the bandwidth required for higher resolution <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/images/products/No%20Manufacturer/0-SVGA3XC9C.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.computercablestore.com/images/products/No%20Manufacturer/0-SVGA3XC9C.jpg" border="0" /></a>displays (800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 1024, ect). The 3 mini coax contained in SVGA monitor cables allows for longer distances at higher resolutions in addition to a more shielding protecting from EMI/RFI interference again allowing for longer distances, higher resolutions and in the end a much clearer, shaper picture at a higher resolution. While the SVGA Monitor cable may cost a few dollars more, you are getting much more performance for your money and a much more clear picture on your display.<br />Here at the ComputerCableStore.com we stock a variety of VGA, SVGA Monitor Cables.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/images/products/No%20Manufacturer/8-1717M-SM.JPG"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.computercablestore.com/images/products/No%20Manufacturer/8-1717M-SM.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/c_monitor_cables.aspx">VGA Monitor Replacement Cables </a>- Perfect for use with older legacy equipment.

Please visit the ComputerCableStore.com to find the full artical.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/images/How-To/blue-stranded-cat5e.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.computercablestore.com/images/How-To/blue-stranded-cat5e.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><div>We will discuss <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/CAT5e-Patch-Cables1.aspx#Materials">Materials</a> needed, cable <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/CAT5e-Patch-Cables2.aspx">Preparation</a>, as well as connector <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/CAT5e-Patch-Cables3.aspx">Termination</a>. <a name="Materials"></a>The first step to start building patch cables is ordering the correct materials. The first and most important material will be the cable we'll be using. CAT5e is available in a variety of different types: <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/CAT5e_Cable_Stranded_PVC_catID1799.aspx">Stranded</a>Stranded is primarily used for building patch cables. The core of the conductors is comprised of many strands of copper so that it can be flexed repeatedly without the copper cores of the conductors breaking. <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/CAT5e_Cable_Solid_PVC_catID1798.aspx">Solid</a>Solid CAT 5e is primarily used for in wall/permanent applications. The copper cores of the conductors are comprised of one single solid strand of copper. This allows the cable to carry signals over longer distances but due to the fact that <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/images/How-To/red-stranded-cat5e.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.computercablestore.com/images/How-To/red-stranded-cat5e.jpg" border="0" /></a>it has solid copper conductors it can not be flexed too many times without the copper cores breaking. <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/CAT5e_Cable_Solid_Plenum_catID1797.aspx">Plenum</a>Plenum is primarily used for in wall/permanent applications where the local building codes require that plenum cable be used. Plenum cable is essentially the same as solid except the jacket is comprised of a PVC Teflon mix. This plenum jacket on is a low smoke/flame retardant jacket that reduces the amount of toxic fumes that are released into air when the jacket is burned. Stranded is best when building patch cords. The flexible stranded cores will hold up best against the daily abuse that these cables tend to endure. We carry Stranded Category5e in a variety of colors to suite your particular needs. </div><div><br />Step 1: Before we start building a patch cable you will need to cut a length of stranded CAT5e.<a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/Images/How-To/cat6-STEP1B.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.computercablestore.com/Images/How-To/cat6-STEP1B.jpg" border="0" /></a> When cutting the length you should make sure to measure. Nothing is worse than the patch cable you just built being an inch too short for your application. After cutting the desired length we will start building our cable by stripping back approximately 1 inch of the jacket. We use Ideal's <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/Coaxial_Stripper_316_Inch_PID1354.aspx">45-165 Coaxial Stripper</a> for this purpose. When striping back the jacket make sure that the depth of your stripper is set deep enough to cut the jacket but not so deep that it nicks the conductors. If you do nick the conductors while stripping the cable, the cable may work fine at first, but after time the conductors will break, or even worse, begin to short out.<br /><br /><br /><br />Step 2: Now that we have the jacket stripped back we'll want to separate and straighten the <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/Images/How-To/STEP2A.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.computercablestore.com/Images/How-To/STEP2A.jpg" border="0" /></a>pairs. We'll start by pulling the first pair and the last pair to their respective sides (Orange to the left and Brown to the right). Untwist these pairs making sure not to untwist the cable any further than you've stripped back the jacket. Now we'll split the green pair. Pull the white/green conductor to the left and the green conductor to the right. This leaves you with the blue pair in the middle. Untwist the blue taking care to ensure that the white/blue conductor is on the left and the blue conductor on the right.Note: Normally, it would be unmentionable to untwist the CAT5e pairs, except when building patch cables. It would be almost impossible to insert the conductors into the proper connector locations without untwisting. (Keep in mind you want to keep as much of the twist of each pair intact in order to meet performance standards.)<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/Images/How-To/STEP2C.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.computercablestore.com/Images/How-To/STEP2C.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Step 3: Now that we've separated and straightened the pairs we need to arrange the conductors in the proper order according to which <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/CAT5e_CAT6_Wiring_Diagram.htm" target="_blank">wiring standard</a> you are using. For this example we will be wiring via the 568-B standard (most common in patch cables). Please consult the pin-out for the proper color codes. After you have the wires arranged, place them tightly together as show in the picture to the right. Once this is done, verify that the wires are still in the proper order and continue to step 4.<br /><br /><br />Step 4: Now we need to trim the conductors down to fit into the RJ45 connector. While <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/Images/How-To/STEP2D.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.computercablestore.com/Images/How-To/STEP2D.jpg" border="0" /></a>trimming, make sure you make a nice clean cut at a 90 degree angle about 1/2 of an inch from the end of the jacket. If you fail to make a straight cut, some of the conductors may not reach the connector contacts. If you cut the conductors too short, again they will not make contact. If you leave the conductors too long, when crimping the connector, the jacketing will not be gripped leaving the strain on the conductors. This is not a good situation! For proper trimming, hold the wires securely just at the end of the jacket as shown in the picture to the left. Be sure to keep the conductors in the proper order.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/CAT5e-Patch-Cables1.aspx">Page 1 - Materials Needed to Make CAT5e Patch Cables</a><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/CAT5e-Patch-Cables2.aspx">Page 2 - How to Make CAT5e Patch Cables</a><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/CAT5e-Patch-Cables3.aspx">Page 3 - How to Terminate Cat5e Patch Cables</a><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/CAT5e-Patch-Cables3.aspx">Page 4 - 568A and 568B CAT5e Patch Cable Wiring Diagrams</a></div><div> </div><div> </div><div>View <a href="http://computercablestore.wetpaint.com/">ComputerCableStore Wiki</a></div></div></div>ComputerCableStore.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04670769556761877448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8718997478805265395.post-44440243953141118202008-05-27T15:43:00.000-07:002008-05-27T15:58:19.452-07:00ICC - ICC Copper and Fiber Optic Structured Cabling Products<a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/c_ICC_Fiber_Optic_Copper_Cabling_Products.aspx"><strong>The ComputerCableStore.com is excited to announce that we now carry a full line of ICC Fiber Optic and Copper Cabling Products.</strong><strong> </strong><br /></a><br /><div><div>For over 20 years, ICC has been helping thousands of contractors grow and profi<a href="http://www.icc.com/templates/Original/images/english/logo1.jpg"><strong><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 117px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 58px" height="97" alt="" src="http://www.icc.com/templates/Original/images/english/logo1.jpg" border="0" /></strong></a>t. ICC is committed to offer premium quality at affordable prices so our contractors can provide high quality installations and still make money. Once you experience ICC products, it just doesn't make sense to go back and pay for the big name brand ever again.</div><div><a href="http://www.icc.com/images/NetMedia.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.icc.com/images/NetMedia.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />ICC aggressively helps contractors win jobs with incentives, project pricing, and even assisting contractors to convince spec engineers or enterprises to open the spec that calls out for a big name brand. When you are bidding for a job, ICC know's that price means getting the work or not. You can not win a project if you have to pay 20%-40% on brand names. </div><div><br />ICC's products are priced aggressively because they manage and control unnecessary expenditures, which translates to less overhead, so they don't have to make those outrageous margins like those big named brands. ICC haa one goal in mind - offer quality products at the lowest price possible. </div><div><br />ICC products not only exceed all the TIA performance standards, but they went one step further and took their products to independent test labs, Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and National Technical Systems (NTS), and had them certified. Don't take their word for it, go to (icc.com/ul) and find out for yourself. </div><div><br />For decades thousands of small to mid-size contractors have switched from big name brands to ICC. ICC's products bring big <a href="http://www.icc.com/images/Fiber_optic_Encloser.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.icc.com/images/Fiber_optic_Encloser.jpg" border="0" /></a>name quality to affordable levels. Once you experience ICC products, it just doesn't make sense to go back and pay for the big name brand ever again.<br />ICC has streamlined and fine-tuned its entire operations, maximizing its efficiency to the greatest extent possible. As a result of these measures, our customers and vendors will reap the benefits of ICC's ISO 9001 registration and ICC's minority business certification. More specifically, our recent ISO 9001:2000 registration translates to a high level of excellence in ICC products, services, and customer satisfaction.<br /></div><div><br />ICC has maintained it's ISO 9001 registration since July 5, 1999. ISO 9001 is an internationally-recognized quality management and assurance standard. The new 9001:2000 registration signifies that ICC has a quality system in place that meets or exceeds ISO 9001:2000 requirements and customer expectations. American International, a respected and ANAB accredited international registrar, approved ICC for certification and will continue to audit and monitor ICC operations periodically as part of ISO 9001:2000 requirements.<br /></div><div>Complementing the ISO 9001 registration, is ICC's 30-Year Certified System Limited Warranty Program. The Warranty Program provides long-term assurance of system performance and reliability to installation owners by protecting their investments through a managed network cabling maintenance system.</div><div><br />In combination, the ISO 9001:2000 registration and the 30-Year Warranty Program provide compelling reasons to offer ICC to our customers as a total solution for network

A DVI-I cable is a DVI cable with both the analog and digital pins. (so if you plug it into an analog device it will function as a DVI-A cable, vis versa if you plug it into a digital device it will function as a <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/c_DVI_and_HDMI_Cables.aspx">DVI-D cable</a>). <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/c_DVI_and_HDMI_Cables.aspx">DVI-A and SVGA </a>are one and the same, just a diffrent connector type. Most video cards (if not all at this point) have DVI-I connectors on them giving you the choice to use either analog or digital (you choose by pluging in either an analog or digital cable). This leaves most people <a href="http://www.dvihdmicables.com/images/DVI-HDMI-Connectors/DVI-D-Cables-Adapters-Technology.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.dvihdmicables.com/images/DVI-HDMI-Connectors/DVI-D-Cables-Adapters-Technology.jpg" border="0" /></a>thining a DVI-I cable will be the right cable since it does everything, but in reality it doesn't always work this way. Lots of Digital devices will not leave the pin holes for the DVI-A connection (I assume this is to make sure the user uses the proper cable). So while in theory a DVI-I should work, in real life it will not. This is why we reccomend customers buy the proper cable for the application rather than a "one <a href="http://www.dvihdmicables.com/images/DVI-HDMI-Connectors/DVI-i-Cables-Adapters-Technology.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.dvihdmicables.com/images/DVI-HDMI-Connectors/DVI-i-Cables-Adapters-Technology.jpg" border="0" /></a>size" fits all. Hope this clears up some confusion. You can always take a look at <a href="http://www.dvihdmicables.com/" target="_blank">http://www.dvihdmicables.com/</a> - Lots of good info there. DVI-D to DVI-D is the cable to use.</div></div></div>ComputerCableStore.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04670769556761877448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8718997478805265395.post-1790883931495722752008-03-28T13:25:00.001-07:002008-05-02T10:02:42.666-07:00Single Link or Dual Link DVI Cable<div><div><div>Most people know that <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/c_DVI_and_HDMI_Cables.aspx">DVI-D cables </a>two in two flavors. Single Link and Dual Link, but most <a href="http://www.dvihdmicables.com/images/DVI-HDMI-Connectors/DVI-I-Dual--Link.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.dvihdmicables.com/images/DVI-HDMI-Connectors/DVI-I-Dual--Link.jpg" border="0" /></a>don't have any idea what the difference is so I'll start there. Single and Dual link cables are exactly the same with the exception that the Dual link cable has twice the pins to transmit data on. Single link can support bandwidths of 25-165 MHz while dual link can support bandwidths up to 330 MHz So at this point we can see Dual Link cables can transmit twice as much data, but what good does this do you? Most people have the <a href="http://www.dvihdmicables.com/images/DVI-HDMI-Connectors/DVI-D-Cables-Adapters-Technology.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.dvihdmicables.com/images/DVI-HDMI-Connectors/DVI-D-Cables-Adapters-Technology.jpg" border="0" /></a>common misconception that more bandwidth means a better cable, but that is not true by any means (especially with DVI, you want to get the RIGHT cable for the application, not the one with the higher price tag, which most people associate as better). This is actually a way to figure out which cable you need. You will start with the target resolution, in this case the customer expects to use 2016 X 1680 and we will assume at 60Hz (pretty much standard). Now that we know the desired resolution we need to figure <a href="http://www.dvihdmicables.com/images/Connectors/DVI-D-DualLink.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.dvihdmicables.com/images/Connectors/DVI-D-DualLink.jpg" border="0" /></a>out how much bandwidth is required. This is actually simpler than most people think. Horizontal Resolution times Vertical resolution times Frequency will result in the required bandwidth. So in this case; 2016 x 1680 x 60Hz = 203,212,800.00 Hz or (203MHz) Bandwidth Required As you can see this is very high resolution, and it requires a lot of bandwidth. So this customer needs a dual link cable since we know if the resolution require more than 165MHz you need a dual link. On <a href="http://www.dvihdmicables.com/images/DVI-HDMI-Connectors/DVI-A-Cables-Adapters-Technology.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.dvihdmicables.com/images/DVI-HDMI-Connectors/DVI-A-Cables-Adapters-Technology.jpg" border="0" /></a>the hand let’s take a look at a more common resolution that people think they NEED a dual link cable for. 1600 x 1200 x 60Hz = 115,200,000 Hz (115MHz) Bandwidth Required Single Link will work here. 1920 x 1080 x 60 Hz (1080p HDTV Resolution) = 124,416,000 (124 MHz) Bandwidth Required. Single Link will work here too! Here you can see even the most fancy HDTV you can buy only require Single Link! Despite what some people think. What I find more interesting is that the refresh rate really requires some bandwidth. Lets revisit one of the above resolutions again but change the refresh rate to one that is more common with PC's 1600 x 1200 x 75 Hz = 144,000,000 (144MHz). Believe it or not this requires a Dual Link cable as well. So next time you go to order a <a href="http://www.computercablestore.com/c_DVI_and_HDMI_Cables.aspx">DVI-D cable </a>and are not sure which you need (single or dual link) just remember. Horizontal Resolution times Vertical Resolution times Refresh Rate = required Bandwidth.</div></div></div>ComputerCableStore.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04670769556761877448noreply@blogger.com0
