Every transmission line requires termination, either in the form of the ultimate load, such as an antenna, or in the form of some kind of resistor. 10BaseT is no different.

However, that termination is usually built in to the device in which the cable is plugged. This is different from older systems, such as ArcNet, where the coax cable requires termination on each of the far ends. This is because the 10BaseT system is a star system rather than a partial ring system, so the termination is not a function of the chosen topology.

The reason termination is required in a transmission line is that every step change in characteristic impedance encountered by the wave front as it propagates through the line results in some kind of reflection back towards the source. These reflections result in distortion, loss of power, even damage to the transmitter or circuit.

To reinforce this understanding, consider the 75 Ohm coax cable typically used in a television distribution system. In the simplest case, you connect a cable from the service entrance to the TV set, and you are properly terminated. If, however, you use a splitter, such as for a TV set and a VCR, you now have three transmission lines, one to the splitter and two from the splitter. Is the RF output of the VCR connected to something? It should be, either to a TV set or to a terminator, otherwise there will be problems due to ringing, interference, ghosting, etc.

Could you Calculate cable size for 100 kw load?

To calculate the cable size for a 100 kW load, you would need to consider factors such as the voltage of the system, the type of cable insulation, the ambient temperature, and the installation method. The cable size is typically determined by the maximum current the cable will carry without overheating. Using the formula: Cable size (mm²) = (2 x L x I x R) / (√3 x V x cosΦ), where L is the cable length, I is the load current, R is the resistance of the cable, V is the voltage, and cosΦ is the power factor, you can calculate the appropriate cable size for the 100 kW load.


How much power can you run on 2.5mm cable?

When you say "Power" you're talking overall wattage. But, what you need to find is the current limit for that gauge cable, which is everywhere on the internet. Try the NEC Section 300

What is 10base2?

10BaseT is an Ethernet cabling standard. 10BaseT devices can transfer data at a rate of up to 10 Mbps, and use twisted pairs of wires in their Ethernet cabling, as opposed to a coaxial cable. If you see wiring with an RJ-45 plug on the end, you probably have a 10BaseT or backwards-compatible product (such as 100BaseT or 1000BaseT).


Do 10baseT networks still exist today?

10baseT networks cords do still exist in 2013. They are considered to be a cheaper alternative to create a LAN network. The flaw in the cord however, is that if there is a small malfunction in part of the cable, then the whole thing will not work.

WHAT IS A bus network?

Bus networks are usually based in a single room and look like such: _ _ _ Computers :-----------------: actual cable line and terminators (cables would goto the PCs) _ _ _ more PCs The medium is a coax cable (looks like tv cable) and requires terminators on both ends of the cable for stopping the resonence of the signal. All pcs are directly hooked into the coax cable and any break in the cable will result in complete network failure. Average speed was 10Mbps The computers required special network cards capable of hooking up to the coax cable, often refered to as a BNC connector.
