Category 6 Cable

Bulk Cat 6 Cable, is the standard for today's high speed gigabit Ethernet networks and is expected to support 10 gigabit ethernet networks in the future while remaining completely backwards compatible with previous network standards. Primarily available in three different types, each Cat 6 cable type having specific pros and cons suited to specific applications. Solid cat6 ethernet network cable, 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. Stranded Cat 6 cable 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).

HDMI 1.4 brings internet sharing.

Okay, so there's good news and bad news. Given that we just love to tease, we'll start you off with the positives. HDMI 1.4 was just revealed, bringing with it an HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC) that enables data transfers of up to 100 Mbps between supported connected devices. Put simply, this could allow a "broadband-connected television using its HEC-enabled HDMI port to provide internet connection sharing with another HEC-enabled device such as a game console or DVR." Furthermore, the spec's Audio Return Channel (ARC) enables broadcast audio to be easily streamed back to an external amplifier, and the Automatic Content Enhancement (ACE) provides support for "future 3D video standards, increased resolution support (up to 4,096 x 2,160 pixels at up to 30Hz), and content recognition that promises to automatically optimize the TV's picture settings based on content type..

100 Gigabit Ethernet: Bridge to Terabit Ethernet

IT managers who are getting started with -- or even pushing the limits of -- 10 Gigabit Ethernet in their LANs and data centers won't have to wait long for higher speed connectivity.
Podcast: Pushing Beyond 100 Gigabit EthernetSlideshow: The evolution of Ethernet
Pre-standard 40 Gigabit and 100 Gigabit Ethernet products -- server network interface cards, switch uplinks and switches -- are expected to hit the market later this year. And standards-compliant products are expected to ship in the second half of next year, not long after the expected June 2010 ratification of the 802.3ba standard.
The IEEE, which began work on the standard in late 2006, is expected to define two different speeds of Ethernet for two different applications: 40G for server connectivity and 100G for core switching.

Cabling Installation and Maintenance Reports on Cable Fraud

"CCCA cautions: Don't always believe the jacket
The Communications Cable and Connectivity Association (CCCA; www.cccassoc.org) recently released details of an investigation it conducted into the fire-safety performance of cables from a number of offshore manufacturers. The association did not name the manufacturers in its release or in an interview with Cabling Installation & Maintenance, but did say they are not well-known brands in the U.S.

In its investigation, the CCCA commissioned an independent laboratory to analyze whether nine randomly selected samples from these manufacturers met U.S. minimum requirements for performance and safety. Eight of the nine samples failed to meet minimum code requirements for fire-safety performance. “Many of the samples failed the flame-spread and smoke tests catastrophically,” the organization said in a statement. . . . . ."

How to Terminate Fiber Optic Cable

Steps for terminating fiber optic cable using epoxyTo begin, strip the cable down to the bare fiber using an appropriate fiber stripper such as the FiberOpticx Fiber Stripper. 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 Premier Master Crimp Tool 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 FiberOpticx Economy Fiber Cleaver, 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 fiber polishing film or a fiber polishing tool 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 Fiber Inspection Microscrope. Finally, test your cable with an optical fiber testing tool for insertion loss and return loss where needed.

VGA or SVGA Monitor Cables - Which is Right for the Job?

Here at the ComputerCableStore.com we see many user ordering VGA (Video Graphics Array) and SVGA (Super Video Graphics Array or Super VGA) monitor cables. More often than not we 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 means. SVGA monitor cables 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 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.
Here at the ComputerCableStore.com we stock a variety of VGA, SVGA Monitor Cables.

VGA Monitor Replacement Cables - Perfect for use with older legacy equipment. Desired display resolution of 640 x 480 or less. Replacement cables are configured with a HD15 Male to HD15 Male connectors intended to replace an existing cable.

VGA Monitor Extension Cables - Perfect for use with older legacy equipment. Desired display resolution of 640 x 480 or less. Extension cables are configured with a HD15 Male to HD15 Female connectors intended to extend an existing cable.

SVGA Monitor Replacement Cables - Perfect for use with today’s high end monitors, TV’s and projectors. Desired Displays resolutions of 800 x 600 and up. Replacement cables are configured with a HD15 Male to HD15 Male connectors intended to replace an existing cable.

SVGA Monitor Extension Cables - Perfect for use with today’s high end monitors, TV’s and projectors. Desired Displays resolutions of 800 x 600 and up. Extension cables are configured with a HD15 Male to HD15 Female connectors intended to extended an existing cable.

Plenum SVGA Monitor Cables - Plenum rated monitor cables support today’s high end, high resolution displays just like PVC monitor cables, supporting resolutions of 800 x 600 and up. The jacket on plenum cables is made a low smoke, fire retardant material that maybe require by some building codes. Depending on your local building codes, the Plenum rated jacket maybe the only cable acceptable for in wall, or plenum air space runs. Plenum Super VGA cables are available in both a replacement version and a extension version.

EZ Install SVGA Monitor Cables - These are identical to your standard SVGA cable with the exception that these cables have one end that is detachable, sometimes referred to as a "break away cable". The removable end allows you to easily run these SVGA cables through conduit without the tedious task of having to wire the cable on site. This can save a ton of time and save a lot of headaches.
