“The shortest distance between two points is under construction.” - NoelieAltito The Challenges of distance
The Physics Of Wire • Longer Wire = More Resistance • Cross-Sectional Area Of The Wires Affect Resistance • Material Composition Affects Resistance • Pure Resistance Causes A Frequency Independent Voltage Drop • Capacitance and Inductance Are Proportional To Wire Length/Construction • Impedance Is Defined As The Frequency Domain Ratio Of The Voltage To The Current • Parallel Conductors In Wire Express A Reactance That Is Inversely Proportional To Frequency • Capacitance and Inductance Cause A Frequency Dependent Voltage Drop • Skin Effect Becomes Relevant At High Frequencies Over Longer Runs
UTP Minimizes Induced Noise • UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) Can Be Optimized For Specific Tasks • Differential (Balanced) Signaling Ensures Environmental Noise Rejection • Differing Twist Rates Minimize Crosstalk Between Pairs • Twist Pitch Is Vital In Fixing The 100Ω Characteristic Impedance • Bandwidth Up To 250MHz Per Pair (Cat6) • 100MHz Per Pair Cat5e • 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 1000Base-T
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his job depends on not understanding it.” - Upton Sinclair What Does “Base-T” Mean?
From StarLAN To HDBase-T • Local Area Network Technology Standards Of The 1980’s Included StarLAN and LattisNet • IEEE Worked To Standardize Physical Layer Attributes Of 10 Mb/s Networks • Names Derived From Physical Media • BASE Denotes Baseband Transmission • Signals And Systems Whose Range Of Frequencies Is Measured From Close To 0 Hz To A Cut-off Frequency, A Maximum Bandwidth Or Highest Signal Frequency • T Denotes Twisted-Pair Carriage
“All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.” - Galileo Galilei HDMI Beyond 50-feet
