Why does my Dell Inspiron 4000 have a coaxial cable in it?
The Dell Inspiron 4000 does not include a coaxial jack. Unless you are using a third-party add-on, you are most likely confusing the S-Video jack / cable with coaxial. S-Video is used for outputting high-quality video to newer televisions. It does not, unlike coaxial cable, carry an RF signal.
What has the author J K Lynch written?
J. K. Lynch has written: 'Coaxial cable as a high-capacity transmission medium' -- subject(s): Coaxial cables
What are the disadvantages of using coaxial cable?
scattering, costs high than wireless communication, difficult to maintain,splicing should be perfectly taken care ,otherwise the loses increases in the optic fibres
What does 'coaxial cable' mean?
The term coaxial comes from the inner conductor and the outer shield sharing ("co-") the same axis. It is often used as a high-frequency transmission line to carry a high-frequency or broadband signal but may also be used for frequencies as low as audio frequency.
Can you hook up dolby digital surround sound to high def receiver?
A Dolby Digital stream from a DVD player can be sent to a high def receiver by digital optical or coaxial cable.
What is a good type of network cable for a computer?
Category 5e is a good type of network cable for a computer. They have a high signal-to-noise ratio.
What is the major factor that makes coaxial cable less susceptible to noise than twisted-pair cable?
A coaxial cable is shielded from electrical interference signals whereas UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable is not. The random twisting with which UTP is manufactured works very well, however, in locations where the interference levels are relatively low, because its method of construction ensures that any interference affects both wires in the pair equally. It should also be mentioned that STP (Shielded Twisted pair) cable is also available and is sometimes specified for LANs (Local Area Networks) instead of coaxial cable. But the much greater volume of coaxial cable sold means that coaxial cable prices have been kept very competitive with STP. As STP tends to be more tricky to install - its shield has to be very carefully and correctly terminated at each end - coaxial tends to be used more than STP where noisier-than-normal interference conditions are present at a particular site. Since the 1990s NIC (Network Interface Card or Component) equipment has had extra logic cicuits within it to reject ambient interference much more effectively than equipment which was designed in the previous 20 years, so nowadays UTP can be used more extensively in locations where only STP or coaxial cable would have had to be used before. So, in relation to LANs in normal non-industrial office and domestic buildings, this exam question is now almost obsolete! However coaxial cable is still necessary to carry LANs in difficult environments such industrial plants; hospitals; undergound railway and road tunnels and mines; on board ships and aircraft, etc. and must also be used to carry signals for radio, televison, video and other applications which run at much high frequencies and bandwidths than LANs.
Can a cracked battery cable cause electrical issues to your car?
Yes, if the cable is cracked and swollen it has a high resistance thus causing a loss of current. Replace any cracked or swollen cable.
Define the thermal resistance of a cable?
No. Conductor resistance is. Cable insulation resistance to ground is inversely proportional to its length. The longer the cable, the more leakage path to ground; therefore, the lower the insulation resistance to ground.
What are the faults in the cable?
Cable faults are normally categorised as (a) conductor-to-earth (ground) faults, (b) conductor-to-conductor faults, and (c) conductor-to-conductor-to earth (ground) faults. In addition to that, we can categorise them by whether they are 'high-resistance' or 'low-resistance' faults.
Is coaxial cable able to keep out interferance and carry long distances?
Coaxial cable is designed to shield the communications medium from EMI and maintain the integrity of wire transmissions. There are specific distances that various types of coaxial cable can travel without repeaters or bridge filters. The most typical distance for ethernet is about 100meters. High-Speed (DSL) cables can go up to a mile before performance suffers. There are several types of cable in use to support various transmissions. The older STP, Thinnet/RG-58 cable used for ethernet has been replaced by Category-5 cable. Radio feed-lines use RJ-58, LMR-400 or even hard-line "wave guide" between transmitter and radiator (antenna). Cable Television is really the only mass-broadcast medium that still uses cable. It's important to remember that the coaxial connections are as critical as the coax quality it self. An exposed ground-shield on one end of a cable can both radiate unauthorized emissions, as well as be subject to interference from external EMF sources.
What is the difference between fire proof and fire resistance cable?
one wont burn or melt the other has a high resitance
