Why do you not have any TP stranded cores in the torsion BUS cables?

Marco Thull | 8. July 2019

In the case of twisted-pair stranded cores, the advantage is that the cores do not change their distance from each other when the entire stranded cable is twisted and untwisted during torsional movement. As a result, the transmission quality of the bus system is retained. Vote Up +0 Vote Down -0You already voted!

What does connection of an Ethernet cable according to TIA568-A or -B mean and what are the differences?

igu-blog-adm | 5. July 2019

EIA/TIA-568-A and EIA/TIA-568-B are standards for the contacting of eight-pin Ethernet RJ-45 connectors. In functional terms, there are no differences and the only visual difference is that core pairs 2 and 3 (orange/white & green/white) are swapped round. The only thing that is important here is that contacting is consistently in line with the standards. […]

Can I harness an FOC cable in the field myself?

igu-blog-adm | 5. July 2019

GOF & PCF fibres can be harnessed in the field only with an enormous amount of work and equipment. As the risk of faults, contamination, splicing errors etc. is very high, the customer is usually advised not to do this. Apart from this, expensive special tools and specialist knowledge are needed for harnessing. In the case […]
