But one of the key factors we really haven't discussed is the cable itself. In the last blog, we talked about how electromagnetic noise signals, called common mode noise , hits both wires in our twisted pair and cancels out.
But, to be truthful, the noise is cancelled out only if the two signals are identical. The closer to identical they are, the greater the rejection or common mode rejection ratio , CMRR will be. We have a saying in cable manufacturing: physicals equal electricals. Well, aren't the two wires in a twisted pair 'automatically' identical? After all, we twist those wires together. Isn't that enough? Sure, twisting helps a lot, but it doesn't make the two wires identical.
Those two wires should also be the same AWG gauge size. Education or lack of education about the effect of perfect manufacturing process can make all the difference in the ultimate performance of a twisted pair: understanding the importance of calibrating the machines for drawing from bigger wires to smaller wires and for precisely twisting them around each other with the same tension, etc.
If one was a lot tighter with a higher tension on the conductor than the other, then you would be winding one wire around a second straight wire. They wouldn't even be the same length, much less the same resistance.
This alone would affect the noise rejection. If the length or wire size is different then one noise signal will be greater than the other and they won't cancel out. If one wire is longer than the other, the noise signal on one wire will arrive earlier than the other. They will be out of phase and again will not cancel out. But let's say we solved those problems and used two wires of exactly the same size or AWG, the same length and that are twisted with the same tension.
There would still be one thing left to compromise our noise rejection: the two wires of the twisted pair are not in the same place. There are many different types of coaxial cable.
Your application will determine which cable has the best characteristics. There are hundreds of cables to choose from to fit every need you have, but here are a few common types. If you are very calculating specific rates of loss or ohms, please see technical specs for each type. It has an impedance of 75 Ohm and is used in a wide variety of residential and commercial applications including cable television.
RG-8 is similar to RG-6, but unable to carry pure video signals. It has an impedance of 50 Ohm and is used in audio control rooms, radio stations or as connections for external radio antennas. It has an impedance of 75 Ohm and provides 3 GHz frequency. They provide greater flexibility, ease of installation and lower cost. They are used as transmission lines for antennas on missiles, airplanes, ships, satellites and communications.
It has an impedance of 50 Ohm, and is great for short antenna feeder runs. This also has a feature of low PIM. It is used for jumper assemblies in wireless communications Systems and short antenna feeder runs. If you need a cable that requires periodic or repeated flexing, choose this one. It is more flexible that air-dielectric and hardline cables in terms of bending and handling. It also has an impedance of 50 Ohm. Coaxial cable comes in varying lengths.
The shorter and thicker the cable is rated will determine the strength of the signal transmitted. It is important to choose the right cable length and thickness. In radio systems, cable length is comparable to the wavelength of the signals transmitted. You can study the math involved in deciding the best cable length to use. Characteristics of the cable, such and outside diameter of the inner conductor, inside diameter of the shield, dielectric contact of the insulator and magnetic permeability of the insulator all affect the quality of the wavelength going through your cable.
Used in radio, microwave and fiber optic applications, this is the signal strength. The type of coaxial cable used will determine your signal strength and how many dBm your cable can handle. Impedance is the amount of resistance the waves proceeding through the coaxial cable encounters. The lower the impedance, the more easily the waves flow through the cable. Each type cable has an impedance rating. Factors affecting this is the size of the cable and what materials the cable is constructed from.
Standard coax impedances are ohms. This has been tested as a great balance between power handling a low loss. PIM stands for Passive Intermodulation. When you connect two metals, the result is nonlinear elements and a distortion in the signal may occur.
As the signal amplitude goes up, the effects will be more significant. This happens often when connecting antennas, cables and connectors. Connectors are on each end of the cable. They are designed to maintain the integrity of the cable as it passed the signal through to your device. They are usually plated with high-connectivity metals such tarnish-resistant gold or silver. The type of connector you need depends on what you are connecting to and how far from the source of power to the device.
This is a minimal connector interface for coaxial cable with a screw-type coupling mechanism. Applications include microwave systems, handheld radios and mobile telephone antennas. F-Type Connector - this is a mid-size connector designed for common use. It is the most widely used connector for residential wiring and is used with cable television, satellite television and cable modems. Connectors are either male or female. Male connectors have threads on the inside of the shell and female connectors have threads on the outside of the shell.
Check the plug on your device if it is female, you need a male plug and vice versa. The RG6 cable is a 75 ohm cable with F-Type connectors. The F-Type connector is a mid-size connector designed for common use. Contact us. Get quote.
