RGB Component Cable

Filed under: Cables, Fiber Optic Technology — admin @ 4:11 pm

Component cables are cables that are split into two or more components.  In the case of the RGB Component Cable, it is split into 5 smaller cables or conductors.

This all-encompassed component cable is best for using with new construction or in cases of pulling conduit through at the end.

The cable has 25 AWG cores with FPE insulation.  The component also includes a tinned copper braiding shield.  These features allocate a nominal amount of EM interference and cross-talk.

The cores of the component cable are each a different color; red, green, blue (hence the name RGB), yellow and white.

Innerducts Are Used for Protection

Filed under: Fiber Optic Cables — admin @ 4:46 pm

The material that houses cables is just as important as the cables are themselves.  The housing of cables is there so that nothing is able to harm or interfere with them.  The housings that are usually used to protect these cables are called innerducts.

Innerducts can come in a variety of colors but are known for being made in a bright orange shade.  The tube is typically light weight and flexible, aiding in the installation of them because they are installed in restrained areas.  Innerducts surround fiber optic cables, and sometimes other types of cables or wiring, that are being run underground.

Mechanical Transfer Pull-off

MTP, Mechanical Transfer Pull-off, is technology within fiber optic networks.  This technology holds a large number of fibers, up to 72.  MTP cassettes have a port in the back that holds a coupler that is used to connect to of an MTP cable.  The connector that is used contains 12 fibers.

After the cable is plugged in it will light up different connections, up to 12 of them.  The patch cables will then need to be plugged in.

Mechanical Transfer Pull-off technology is predicted to ultimately substitute the measures that are used for fiber optics as of now.

Monitor Cables

Filed under: Cables — admin @ 3:06 pm

The cables that are used with your home or work computers are extremely important in how the device runs as well as in how your network responds.  Monitor cables, VCA and SVGA, can help to expand your array of configuration potentials by enlarging the expanse amid your computer and monitor.

Both of these types of monitor cables can aid in your computers performance, but the SVGA cables specifically is able to offer a step up in terms of signal strength.  The cables have a coax shielding that helps to ensure that the signal strength is at a high degree and that it can operate over extensive distances.

Innerducts

Filed under: Innerducts — admin @ 3:45 pm

An innerduct is flexible cover that houses cables to protect them from anything that could harm them or tamper with them. The innerduct usually surrounds fiber optic cables that are to be run underground. They can also be run in air-handling spaces either horizontally or vertically.

These innerduct are usually orange in color but can sometimes come in multiple shades. They are typically very lightweight and extremely flexible, which is a plus during the installation process. The small amount of weight and the flexibility of the innerduct permits for them to be installed in small or confined areas.
