Types of Cables
After installation, the most critical factors in the cable are minimum bend radius and reel tension. *The natural set occurs during the manufacturing of the cable. The cable is cured in one direction on the reel with a definite difference in its ability to be flexed on way as opposed to another.
Coaxial cables can be connected from the wall outlet directly to the customer’s television or cable box. A second use for coaxial cables is connecting VCRs to a television. A final use of the coaxial cable is attaching a personal antenna to a television set or digital converter box.
These cables send and receive computer data, telephone conversations and photographic images, among other things, and they prevent interception and interference more effectively than wireless communication methods.
Timothy Thiele. Direct burial cable is a special type cable that is designed to be run in a trench underground without the use of conduit to surround it. The electrical wires are encased in a thermoplastic sheath that seals out moisture and protects the wires within.
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a specification created by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) to accommodate analog and digital monitors with a single connector.
A fiber optic cable is a long distance network telecommunications cable made from strands of glass fibers that uses pulses of light to transfer data. A fiber optic cable is a long distance network telecommunications cable made from strands of glass fibers that uses pulses of light to transfer data.
Flexible cables, or 'continuous-flex' cables, are electrical cables specially designed to cope with the tight bending radii and physical stress associated with moving applications, such as inside cable carriers.
Short for High Definition Multimedia Interface, HDMI is a connector and cable capable of transmitting high-quality and high-bandwidth streams of audio and video between devices. The HDMI technology is used with devices such as an HDTV, Projector, DVD player, or Blu-ray player.
ANDREW HELIAX CABLE LDF5, LDF6, and LDF7 Series cables are no longer available and no longer manufactured. They are replaced by AVA5 or AVA7 cables. We do have limited quantity of LDF5-50 available.
Short for Integrated Drive Electronics or IBM Disc Electronics, IDE is more commonly known as ATA or Parallel ATA (PATA). It is a standard interface for IBM compatible hard drives and CD or DVD drives.
Serial ATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment or SATA) is a standard for connecting and transferring data from hard disk drives to computer systems. As its name implies, SATA is based on serial signaling technology, unlike Integrated Drive Electronics hard drives that use parallel signaling.
Shielded twisted pair is a special kind of copper telephone wiring used in some business installations. An outer covering or shield is added to the ordinary twisted pair telephone wires; the shield functions as a ground.
Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) is a ubiquitous type of copper cabling used in telephone wiring and local area networks . There are five types of UTP cables -- identified with the prefix CAT, as in category-- each supporting a different amount of bandwidth.
The Universal Serial Bus standard has been extremely successful. USB ports and cables are used to connect hardware such as printers, scanners, keyboards, mice, flash drives, external hard drives, joysticks, cameras, and more to computers of all kinds, including desktops, tablets, laptops, netbooks, etc.
Short for Video Graphics Array, VGA is a popular display standard developed by IBM and introduced in 1987. VGA provides 640 x 480 resolution color display screens with a refresh rate of 60 Hz and 16 colors displayed at a time. If the resolution is lowered to 320 x 200, 256 colors are shown.
