All common video signal types--composite, RF, s-video, component, SDI, and the various flavors of RGB--are ordinarily run in coaxial cables, or, as the shorthand term goes, "coax." The features of ...

Normally when a spiral shield is used on a cable it is for one of three reasons, increased flexibility, ease of termination, or reduced manufacturing costs. Let's consider the differences between a ...

For all their energy savings and control benefits, when VFDs fail, they bring motor-driven industrial operations to a dead stop. To avoid such situations, savvy engineers ensure drive-system ...

Braided-shield cables provide a flexible method of electrically shielding a cable. The braid also adds strength to the cable. Because of this, braided-shield cables are the best choice for cables used ...

According to the IEEE Buff Book, "A power cable must be protected from overheating due to excessive short-circuit current flowing in its conductor," which may damage or destroy the insulation. It also ...

Among the things that contribute to satisfaction, good reputation, and a thriving business on the part of an electrical contractor would be a collection of projects that are still operating reliably ...

Testing most products for radiated emissions usually requires all I/O and power cables to be attached to the equipment under test (EUT) and spread out in accordance with the specific product standard.

Improperly terminated VFD cables can generate up to 60 amps of common mode current spikes through facility ground grids, damaging unconnected control and communication equipment. Most electricians ...

Cicoil provides multi-layer shielding options that protect cables from unwanted EMI/RFI issues, even in continuous flexing applications. Cicoil provides multi-layer shielding options that protect ...

In applications where the accidental or terrorist detonation of a nuclear device is a concern, engineers design equipment to withstand electromagnetic pulses (EMPs). Cables for such applications were ...
