Premise Wiring Tutorial 

■ What is Premise Wiring? 

Premise Wiring is the cabling, 

connectors and accessories that are 

used to connect LAN (Local Area 

Network) and phone equipment 

inside a commercial building. 

■ How is Premise Wiring used? 

Premise Wiring is made up of vertical 

and horizontal cable runs from a 

central location throughout buildings 

to individual desktops. 

Premise Wiring Terms 

Backbone Wiring: The cabling used between 

telecommunication closets, entrance facilities, 

equipment rooms or buildings. 

Category 5E/6: The standard unshielded 

twisted pair cabling used for LAN drops. 

Conduit: Circular raceway that cable is run 

inside of. Conduit requirements are specified 

under appropriate electrical codes. 

Cross Connect: The connection method 

used between permanent cabling (inside the 

walls) and equipment. A patch cord is often 

used as the connection means. 

Demarcation Point: The point at which 

operational control changes. For example, 

where the phone company’s responsibility 

ends and the building owner’s begins. 

Drop: Slang term used for each cabling span 

pulled from a telecommunications closet. 

Equipment Room: The space dedicated to 

telecommunications equipment. 

Horizontal Wiring: The span of cabling and 

connectors between the wiring closet and 

each drop. It is called horizontal because this 

type of wiring does not go up or down floors 

of a building. 

Insulation Displacement Contact (IDC): A 

means of terminating wires without the need 

of stripping down to the bare wire. 

Jumper: Single twisted pairs used for cross 

connecting between 66, 110, or Krone 

blocks. 

Modular Jack: The female connector used at 

the end of each horizontal cabling drop. 

Usually modular jacks utilize a 6 or 8 contact 

modular plug on the patching side and a 

110, Krone, or other Insulation Displacement 

connection method (on the permanent 

horizontal wiring side). 

Modular Plug: The male connector usually 

found at the end of a patch cord. 

Patch Cord: A cable assembly with modular 

plugs on each end. Used for patching 

equipment to the patch panel in the 

equipment room and also used to connect to 

phones and computers at the drop. 

Patch Panel: The common cross connect 

method used inside an equipment room. 

Typical Patch Panels utilize 110 or Krone 

connectors on the rear to connect to the 

horizontal cabling and modular jacks on the 

front to connect to equipment via patch 

cords. 

Star Topology: The topology where wiring 

stems from one central point. 

Telecommunications Closet: Enclosed space 

for containing telecommunications equipment, 

cable terminations and cross connects. 

Work Area: Building space where occupants 

utilize telecommunications equipment.

Common Wiring Standards 

for Data Communications 

There are two common wiring standards for LAN wiring. When buying 

components such as jacks or patch panels, be sure to specify if you need 

EIA568A or EIA568B.

Wiring Notes: 

1. Category 5E/6 unshielded twisted pair is the norm. Use 4 pair 

solid conductor inside the walls, 4 pair stranded for patch 

cords. Plenum rated cabling may be necessary depending 

upon fire codes in your area. 


2. Maximum distance for a horizontal run is 90m plus an 

additional 10m for patching. 

3. Fiber is the common choice for backbone wiring. It is also 

recommended for horizontal runs over 100m.

Network Cable Performance Testing 

Testing of cable assemblies is often an overlooked issue when it comes to Ethernet patch cables. A cable that uses Category 5E components may not really be 

Category 5E compliant. Economy grade cables are typically only tested for continuity whereas a certified patch cable is checked against the actual standard for 

performance criteria. Your level of requirement many not need a certified cable so if you are not sure give us a call and let us help you to choose the perfect 

cable for your installation.

Data Cabling Tutorial 

■ What is D-Subminiature? 

D-Subminiature products are 

connection products utilizing various 

D-Subminiature style interface types 

to transmit data signals. 

■ How is D-Subminiature used? 

D-Subminiature products are used to 

connect a data generating device such 

as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 

to a data producing device 

such as a printer. 

■ Where is D-Subminiature used? 

D-Subminiature products are used 

in numerous data transmission 

applications found in office, 

industrial, home or testing 

environments. 

Data Cabling Terms 

American Wire Gauge (AWG): A U.S. 

standard set of non-ferrous wire conductor 

sizes. Typical data wiring is AWG number 24, 

26 or 28. The higher the gauge number, the 

smaller the diameter and the thinner the 

wire. 

Backshell (Hood): A mechanical backing 

that is sometimes put on a connector. It 

protects the conductors and can be assembled 

or injection molded. Commonly used with 

D-Sub connectors. 

Cable: Set of insulated wires or conductors 

within an extruded jacket. Many cable types 

use shielding around the wires and under the 

cable jacket. 

Cable Assembly: A cable that has been 

terminated with one or more connectors. 

Conductor: A metal path (usually copper) 

that passes electricity. When discussing 

data cabling, "wire" and "conductor" are 

synonymous. 

Connector: Electromechanical coupling 

device that provides an electrical interface 

that can be mated and unmated. 

Contact: The specific points of contact 

within a connector. May be male (pins) or 

female (sockets). 

Contact Resistance: Resistance is basically 

the opposition to electron flow in an electrical 

circuit and connector. Manufacturers strive 

to attain the lowest amount of resistance 

possible for each contact. Contact resistance 

is the cumulative resistance value for mated 

contacts. 

Crimping: A means of securing an electrical 

contact to a wire using tools that compress 

the metal contact around the wire. 

Crosstalk: When unwanted electromagnetic 

fields from conductors are transferred into 

adjacent conductors. Crosstalk is controlled 

by separating or shielding conductors or 

twisting into a pair. 

D-Subminiature: A common connector type 

that utilizes multiple pins and a D shaped 

housing. 

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI): 

Unwanted electrical or electromagnetic 

energy that causes unwanted responses in 

electronic equipment. 

Extrusion: The mechanical process of coating 

a wire or group of wires with insulating 

material. 

Ground: Any zero-voltage point. Earth is 

considered a zero voltage grounding point. 

Ground Wire (Drain Wire): Extra conductor, 

usually a bare wire, added to a cable for 

connection of the grounding path. 

Injection Molding: The process used to inject 

molten polymer into a mold. Connector 

backshells are often injection molded. 

Insulation: A material with very high 

resistivity used to protect conductors. 

Insulation is usually extruded over the wire 

or conductor after the drawing process. 

Shielding: A conductive foil or braid that 

covers insulated wires in a cable. It provides 

electrical grounding and protection from 

external electromagnetic interference (EMI). 

Shielding is also used to control internal 

electromagnetic radiation. 

Soldering: A means of securing an electrical 

contact to a wire by heating an alloy, usually 

consisting of tin and lead, also known as 

"solder". 

Solid Wire (or Conductor): One strand of 

wire. Usually less flexible, lower in cost and 

lower in resistance than stranded wire of the 

same AWG. Solid wire is typically used in 

permanent installations where flexing does 

not occur. 

Strain Relief: A method of protecting the 

wire to contact point from flexing or 

pulling. 

Stranded Wire (or Conductor): Multiple 

small AWG strands of wire that are put together 

to make a flexible wire with similar electrical 

properties as a similar solid wire. Stranded 

wires are usually used in data cabling. 

Twisted Pair: Two insulated conductors 

twisted at a fixed rate of twists per unit of 

length, typically used in balanced circuits 

where nominal impedance and crosstalk are 

critical characteristics. 

Wire: A conductive material, usually copper, 

that has been drawn down to a specific size (see 

wire basics above) and is then coated with an 

insulating material. A "bare wire" utilizes no 

insulator coating. 

Wire Drawing: The mechanical process of 

making conductors smaller by forcing 

through dies.

Slim-Line Ceramic Capacitive Filter Adapters - For Excellent, Economical Noise Removal 

Filtering is the simplest method of removing unwanted interference from within a circuit. A capacitive filter is built into a male/female D-Sub adapter 

that provides an easy-to-use retrofit adapter. Although reasonably priced, there is a cost associated with capacitors and that is signal degradation, 

particularly in CMOS circuits with extremely low signal levels. Systems that transmit strong signals and can tolerate moderate loss are well suited for 

capacitive filtering. Our compact design allows an extremely low profile of only 0.2". Individual capacitance on each pin is 820pF. Also available in an 

engineer’s kit of 4 adapters.

SCSI Terminators - Compensate for Inherent Impedance Mismatches on SCSI Bus 

Terminators plug into the first and last device on the SCSI bus to match the impedance of the cable to minimize reflected signals. Passive terminators 

are resistor networks that allow signal voltages to vary with the load and to help curb reflection in a SCSI chain. Active terminators add a voltage regulator 

to the circuit which allows a consistent signal to be transmitted everywhere on the bus.

■ What are Fiber Optic Cables? 

Fiber optic cables consist of a glass 

core and cladding, buffer coating, 

Kevlar strength members and a 

protective outer jacket. Fiber optic 

cables use light pulses as opposed to 

electrical signals to send information. 

■ How are Fiber Optic Cables used? 

Fiber optic cables can be plugged 

into communications equipment and 

patch panels to provide a physical 

connection to a network or device. 

■ Where are Fiber Optic Cables used? 

Fiber optic cables are used by 

commercial business, governments, 

the military and many other 

industries for myriad applications 

involving the transmission of voice, 

video and data. 

Fiber Optic Cabling Terms 

Absorption: One cause of attenuation where 

light signal is absorbed into the glass during 

transmission. 

Adapter: A device used to interconnect two 

different connector types. 

Attenuation: Optical loss of power. 

Attenuation is measured in dB loss per length 

of cable. Attenuation is usually caused by 

absorption and scattering. 

Attenuator: A device used to reduce the 

power of an optical signal. 

Back Reflection: A measure of the light 

reflected off the polished end of a fiber 

connector. Measured in negative dB relative 

to incident power. 

Bandwidth: The range of signal frequencies 

that a fiber optic cable will transmit. 

Buffer: The protective coating over the fiber. 

Coupler: A device used to connect two 

similar connector types. 

Fusion Splice: A permanent splice where the 

two fiber ends are welded together. 

Insertion Loss: The attenuation caused by 

the insertion of a device (such as a splice or 

connection point) to a cable. 

Jack: Female receptacle - usually found on 

equipment. 

Link: The entire span between two optical 

devices. Includes all cable, connections and 

splices. 

Fiber Optic Tutorial 

Fiber Optic 21 

Loss Budget: The maximum amount of 

power that is allowed to be lost per optical 

link. 

Mandrel: A fiber wrapping device used to 

cause attenuation within a fiber cable. 

Mechanical Splice: A mechanical means of 

connecting two fibers. 

Multimode: A type of fiber optic cable where 

the core diameter is much larger than the 

wavelength of light transmitted. Two 

common multimode fiber types are 50/125 

and 62.5/125. 

Plug: The male connector - typically found 

on end of a patch cord. 

Return Loss: The ratio of the power launched 

into a cable and the power of the light 

returned down the fiber. This measurement 

is expressed in positive decibel units (dB). A 

higher number is better. Return Loss = 10 log 

( 

incident returned 

power / power ). 

Scattering: A second cause of attenuation. 

Scattering occurs when light collides with 

individual atoms in the glass. 

Single mode: A type of fiber with a small 

core that allows only one mode of light to 

propagate. A common single mode type is 

9/125. 

Termination: The process of mechanically 

installing a connector onto a fiber cable. 

Wavelength: A means of measuring light 

color. Expressed in nanometers (nm). 

How Do Fiber Optics Work? A Quick 

Lesson In Optical Transmission 

Where copper cabling uses electricity to transmit signals 

from one end to another, fiber optics use light pulses to 

accomplish the same purpose. The fiber cable is made of 

a transparent glass core surrounded by a mirror like covering 

called cladding. Light passes through the cable, bouncing off 

the cladding until it reaches the other end of the fiber channel 

- this is called total internal reflection. 

The diameter of the core corresponds directly with the angle 

of reflection. As this diameter increases, the light requires 

more reflections (and in turn a greater amount of time) to 

travel a given distance. Single mode fiber optic cable has a 

smaller diameter core which lends itself to long distance, 

higher bandwidth runs. Multimode fiber has a larger diameter 

core and is more commonly used in shorter cable runs. 

Multimode cabling is more economical and easier to work 

with; it is the choice for most local area networks. 

Fiber specifications list the core and cladding diameters as a 

ratio. The top example shows the ratio of core to cladding as 

62.5/125 microns. Below, the ratio is 9/125 microns. 

Multimode fiber is commonly 62.5/125 or 50/125 micron, 

single mode fiber is commonly 9/125 micron.

MT-RJ 

The MT-RJ is one of the newly emerging Small Form Factor connectors that are becoming 

commonplace in the networking industry. The MT-RJ utilizes two fibers and integrates them into a 

single design that looks similar to a Black RJ45 modular connector. Alignment is completed through the 

use of two pins that mate with the connector. Transceiver jacks found on NICs and equipment typically 

have the pins built into them. Users need to be careful that one connector has alignment pins when 

mating two MT-RJ cables through a coupler.

Fiber Optic Couplers and Adapters 

These devices are used to join together individual connectorized fiber assemblies. They are often used in a patch panel 

and are mounted on sub-panels. If the two fiber assemblies to be connected have the same style fiber connectors (ST to 

ST, SC to SC, etc.) then the connecting device is called a coupler. If the two fiber assemblies to be connected have 

different style connectors then the connecting device is called an adapter.

The alignment sleeve is the most critical component of a fiber optic adapter. 

Bronze sleeves are more durable but the precision is not as good as ceramic. 

Ceramic ferrules offer a more precise alignment, but they are somewhat less 

durable. Bronze alignment sleeves are commonly used in multimode 

applications where precision alignment is not as critical.

What is the difference between a fiber optic coupler and adapter? 

Although the terms are sometimes interchanged, 

a coupler typically connects like connectors (i.e. SC to SC), 

while adapters connect different connectors (i.e. SC to FC).

Fiber Optic APC Simplex and Duplex Couplers 

In order to achieve low back reflection values some fiber assemblies utilize a connector with an Angled Polish Contact (APC). These APC connectors 

require special couplers that have tight tolerance alignment slots to assure proper orientation of the mated APC connectors. The APC couplers are 

specifically designed for this application.

28 Media Converters > Copper to Fiber Media Converters 

We Proved it --these things are TOUGH! 

By driving over one with our 12,000 lb. delivery truck, we proved that these 

media converters are the most rugged and reliable products on the market! 

After all the weight and pressure, we were 

amazed to see that the converter remained 

intact while driving on and over it. 

Then we took it back to our lab and 

performed a standard wiring test. It worked 

perfectly - as if it had come right out of its 

box for the first time!

■ Who is 

HyperLink®? 

■ Wireless 

Infrastructure 

Since 1994, HyperLink Technologies of Boca Raton, Florida, has offered a wide line of wireless products, 

ranging from bi-directional amplifiers to wireless LAN antenna systems. HyperLink serves a diverse 

commercial and government customer base worldwide and offers complete, high performance wireless 

LAN solutions for commercial, government, and military applications. For more detailed information 

please visit www.hyperlinktech.com. 

The term "Wireless" has become the new all encompassing buzzword to describe what was once known 

as "radio". Today this term also includes many of the modern data communications technologies all of 

which utilize a radio for signal transmission. In fact there are many wires in a typical wireless system but 

somewhere along the transmission path the signal is transmitted from one antenna to another wirelessly. 

Wireless Infrastructure Terms 

Antenna Gain: A relative measure of an 

antennas ability to direct or concentrate radio 

frequency energy in a particular direction or 

pattern. Typically measured in dBi. 

AP: An Access Point is a base station in a 

wireless LAN, which is typically a wireless 

Ethernet (Wi-Fi) LAN. Access Points are 

generally stand-alone devices that plug into an 

Ethernet switch or hub. 

Bandwidth: The width of the operating or 

transmission channel of a system. The 

difference expressed in Hertz (between the 

highest and lowest frequencies of a band). 

Cellular: A wireless communications network 

architecture that employs "cells" or 

modular coverage areas, typically serviced by a 

"cell site", and usually provides hand-off 

capability between cells for roaming devices. 

Directional Antenna: An antenna that sends 

or receives signals most effectively in a 

particular direction. 

Omni-Directional Antenna: An antenna, 

which radiates RF energy in a 360-degree 

pattern about an axis. 

PoE: Power over Ethernet is a technology for 

wired Ethernet LANs that allows the electrical 

current, necessary for the operation of each 

device, to be carried by the data cables rather 

than by power cords. 

Propagation: The travel of a signal through a 

medium such as air or free space. 

Splitter/Combiner: Transmission component 

which divides or sums power between 

two or more ports. 

VSWR: Voltage Standing Wave Ratio is a 

measure of impedance mismatch between 

the transmission line and its load. 

WLAN: A Wireless Local Area Network is a 

short-range computer-to-computer wireless 

data communications network. 

WISP: A Wireless Internet Service Provider 

offers fixed or mobile wireless services to its 

customers. WISPs provide last mile access to 

cities, rural areas and small villages as well as 

industrial parks at the edge of town. 

Yagi Antenna: A directional antenna named 

for one of its inventors, which consists of a 

boom supporting a series of elements, which 

are typically metal rods or stampings. Often 

called a beam or directional antenna.

What is USB? 

Universal Serial Bus is a high speed connectivity standard enabling 

simple Plug and Play connections to devices such as modems, digital 

cameras, camcorders, keyboards and mice. The standard is being 

supported by many leading suppliers of computers and peripherals. 

An advantage of USB is that the devices are hot pluggable meaning 

live connection/disconnection without data loss or interruption. 

Devices manufactured to the current USB Revision 2.0 specification 

are backward compatible with version 1.1. 

The USB specification requires a host system to be equipped with 

an A type jack. The B type jack is typically found on peripheral 

devices requiring detachable cables. Therefore, detachable USB 

cables are configured as A to B male combination, preventing 

improper bus configurations and topology miswiring.

Waterproof Connectors - Where are they used and how are they rated? 

Most off-the-shelf connector systems are designed for a fairly clean, dry environment. When they are used in a dusty or wet environment the user has to 

periodically replace or attempt to seal these connectors with epoxy, RTV or other material. These options can be quite expensive and time consuming. 

Fortunately, environmentally sealed connector systems are gaining in popularity and availability. 

Where are they used? 

Applications for these connectors are numerous and 

include automotive, communication, industrial and 

medical instruments. Dust and moisture are the two 

most common contaminants that enter through 

exposed data ports, damaging or destroying 

electronic equipment. Fortunately, specially sealed 

cables and connectors are available from L-com to 

protect these ports from dust and moisture.

What is Firewire? 

Firewire is an emerging high speed communication interconnect standard defined by 

IEEE-1394. It was originally developed to connect PCs to other PCs or to peripherals such as 

digital cameras, camcorders, scanners, etc. Current applications include automotive, telecom, 

data acquisition, aerospace and a host of others. An attractive advantage is devices are hot 

pluggable meaning live connection/disconnection without data loss or interruption. 

Firewire Cable Construction 

Clear mylar 

Braid 

Foil 

Type 1 to Type 1 cables utilize all six cable conductors (4 data and 2 power). 

Type 1 to Type 2 cables utilize only the data conductors. 

Topology 

Firewire is a serial, bi-directional bus that can be daisy 

chained or star shaped with the use of a hub. Firewire does 

not require terminators or manual addressing.

■ What are GPIB cables? 

GPIB cables consist of 24 twisted 

pairs of copper wire and utilize a 

Centronics 24 style male/female 

connector. 

■ How are GPIB cables used? 

They are used in a bus or star 

architecture where the connectors 

“piggy back” each other and then 

connect primarily test and 

measurement equipment to PCs 

and other devices. 

■ Where are GPIB cables used? 

GPIB cables are typically used in test 

and measurement applications and are 

also used in DAQ (data acquisition) 

applications. 

IEEE-488 Cabling Terms 

Adapter: A device used to interconnect two 

different connector types. 

American Wire Gauge (AWG): A U.S. 

standard set of non-ferrous wire conductor 

sizes. Typical data wiring is AWG number 24, 

26 or 28. The higher the gauge number, the 

smaller the diameter and the thinner the 

wire. 

Backshell (Hood): A mechanical backing 

that is sometimes put onto a connector. The 

device protects the conductors and can be 

assembled or injection molded. 

Bus: Also called a "Daisy Chain". A network 

topology where each node is connected to 

one another in line. A major disadvantage is 

that when there is a break in the bus the 

entire network goes down. 

Cable: A set of insulated wires or conductors 

within an extruded jacket. Many types of 

cable utilize shielding around the wires and 

under the cable jacket. 

Cable Assembly: A piece of cable that has 

been terminated with one or more 

connectors. 

Conductor: A metal path, usually copper, 

that passes electricity. When discussing data 

cabling, "wire" and "conductor" are 

synonymous. 

Connector: Electromechanical coupling 

device that provides an electrical interface 

that can be mated and unmated. 

Contact: The specific points of contact 

within a connector. Contacts can be male 

(pins) or female (sockets). 

Coupler: A device used to connect two 

similar connector types. 

Crosstalk: The coupling of electromagnetic 

fields from conductors into adjacent 

conductors. Crosstalk is controlled by 

twisting the conductors into a pair or by 

separating/shielding conductors. 


Unwanted electromagnetic or electrical 

energy that causes unwanted responses in 

electronic equipment 

GPIB: General Purpose Interface Bus. 

Common name for IEEE-488. 

IEEE-488 GPIB 37 

IEEE-488 Tutorial 

HPIB: Hewlett Packard Interface Bus. 

Common name for IEEE-488. 

IEEE-488: Institute of Electrical and 

Electronics Engineers interface standard 

number 488. 

Injection Molding: The process used to 

inject molten polymer into a mold. Connector 

backshells are often injection molded. 

Insulation: A material with very high 

resistivity used to protect conductors. 

Insulation is usually extruded over the wire 

or conductor after the drawing process. 

Insulation Displacement Contact: A means 

of terminating wires without the need of 

stripping down to the bare wire. 

Jack: The female receptacle - usually found 

on equipment. 

Plug: Popular term for a male gender 

connector of varied types. 

Shielding: A conductive foil or braid that 

covers insulated wires in a cable. The shield 

provides electrical grounding and protection 

from external electromagnetic interference 

(EMI). Shielding is also used to control 

internal electromagnetic radiation. 

Strain Relief: A method of protecting the wire 

to contact point from flexing or pulling. 

Twisted Pair: Two insulated conductors 

twisted at a fixed rate of twists per unit of 

length, typically used in balanced circuits 

where nominal impedance and crosstalk are 

critical characteristics. 

Wire: Conductive material, typically copper, 

that has been drawn down to a specific size 

and coated with an insulating material. A 

"bare wire" utilizes no insulator coating.

IEEE-488 GPIB Bulkhead Adapters - The Easiest Way to Feed GPIB Cables Through Panels 

IEEE-488 bulkhead adapters originated because of a need by design and test engineers. These adapters provide the only means of passing an IEEE-488 

cable through common cabinet walls and will also provide access to a console work table when mounted on a panel. 

Two basic models are available. The BA version has the conventional male-female entry, whereas the BF version has two female entries. The latter allows 

more than one cable to be mounted piggy-back on both sides of the panel. 

Because of user concerns for ground loops, we’ve had requests for another version of the popular CIB24BF having an insulated mounting bracket rather 

than metal. Model CIB24BF-I features a fiberglass mounting bracket.

Super Thin SVGA is Ideal 

for Tight Fitting Spaces 

The Super Thin SVGA series offers comparable 

performance of standard size SVGA assemblies in a 

much more compact size. Not only is the cable 

diameter greatly reduced but the depth of the 

HD15 backshell is also much more shallow than the 

backshells found on most SVGA assemblies. This 

results in a SVGA assembly that can be used in tight 

confines where a standard size SVGA assembly 

would be difficult if not impossible to use. 

An additional feature of this series is reversible 

hardware allowing either panel mount using 

standoffs or traditional thumbscrews. The combined 

results of these features is a product series that is 

both compact and versatile. These features can be 

utilized to solve many difficult installation problems 

without sacrificing performance. 

The Super Thin small profile construction is also 

utilized on our SVGA with disconnect series and 

our low profile KVM cable.

What is the difference between DVI Single Link and Dual Link? 

DVI dual link, as the name implies, has more conductors than the DVI single link for transmitting 

signal. Single link DVI supports a maximum bandwidth of 165 MHz (1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz, 1280 x 

1024 at 85 Hz) and utilizes 18 of the 24 available pins. Dual link DVI utilizes all 24 available pins and 

supports 2x 165 MHz maximum bandwidth (2048 x 1536 at 60 Hz, 1920 x 1080 at 85 Hz).

Evolution of the Video Interface 

The interface used for transmission of a video signal has evolved over the years. For a long time the HD15 (High Density 15 contact) was the most commonly 

used interface. With the advent of digital video new video interfaces have entered the market. Below is a brief explanation of these various video interfaces.

HD15 

The HD15 (High Density 15 pin) is an analog 

only type video interface. High quality HD15 

cables utilize coaxial lines for the transmission 

of the analog video signal. 

DVI 

DVI (Digital Video Interface) comes in three 

variations offering capabilities for the 

transmission of both analog and digital video 

signals. It is backward compatible with HD15 

for legacy analog systems. 

HDMI 

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is the 

latest innovation in digital interfaces. This small form 

factor interface features an all digital transmission of 

both video as well as audio signals. It is backward 

compatible with DVI for the digital video signal only.

When do you use Plenum Cable? 

In building construction, the space used for air circulation (heating and air conditioning) is called the plenum. This space is also commonly used to route 

communications cable. This poses a serious hazard in the event of fire due to lack of barriers to contain the smoke and flames. This is why various fire codes 

and the National Electrical Code (NEC) require the use of fire resistant and low smoke producing cable in these areas. This type of cable is called plenum cable 

which is made with a fire retardant compound that exhibits self extinguishing characteristics. 





“I find that the layout of your printed catalog allows me to efficiently and painlessly find 

what I am looking for. Your pictures make it very clear what I am looking at. I know from 

trying to document custom cables it's not always easy." - David Weiser, Spherion.com.

Coaxial Cabling Tutorial 

Coaxial 51 

■ What is Coaxial Cabling? 

A coaxial cable is a two conductor 

electrical cable consisting of a center 

conductor and an outer conductor with 

an insulating spacer between the two. 

■ How is Coaxial Cabling used? 

Primarily, coaxial cables are used for 

the transmission of Radio Frequency 

energy. The system offers tight 

control over electrical impedance. 

This yields excellent performance at 

high frequencies and superior EMI 

control/shielding. 

■ Where is Coaxial Cabling used? 

A broad range of applications exist 

for coaxial cabling. The two primary 

impedance values of 50 and 75 Ohms 

determine specific applications with 

50 Ohms primarily used in data 

signal applications and 75 Ohms 

used in video signal applications. 

Coaxial Cabling Terms 

Attenuation (Insertion Loss): Loss of power. 

Attenuation is usually measured in dB loss 

per length of cable (ex. 31.0 dB/100Ft.). 

Attenuation increases as frequency increases. 

Center Conductor: The solid or stranded 

wire in the middle of the coaxial cable. The 

conductor diameter is measured by the 

American Wire Gauge (AWG). 

Coaxial Adapter: A device used to change 

one connector type to another or one gender 

to another (ex. BNC to SMA Adapter). 

Coaxial Cable: A two conductor cylindrical 

transmission line typically comprised of a 

center conductor, an insulating dielectric 

material and an outer conductor (shielding). 

Coaxial cable can be flexible (typical to the 

assemblies found in this catalog), semi-rigid 

or rigid in nature. 

Coaxial Connector: The interconnection 

device found at each end of a coaxial cable 

assembly. There are many common types of 

coaxial connectors such as: BNC, SMA, SMB, 

Type F, etc. 

Dielectric: The insulating material that 

separates the center conductor and the 

shielding. 


Electrical or electromagnetic energy that 

disrupts electrical signals. 

Frequency: Number of times a periodic action 

occurs in one second. Measured in Hertz. 

Impedance: The opposition to the flow of 

alternating or varying current. Measured in 

Ohms. Two common impedance values are 

50 Ohms used primarily for data and 75 

Ohms used to transmit video signals. 

Jack: The female connector usually containing 

a center socket. 

Plug: The male connector usually containing 

a center pin. 

RF (Radio Frequency): A frequency band 

from 3 MHz to 3 GHz. Primarily used for 

transmission of radio and television signals. 

RG/U: A designation that originated with a 

US Government specification. No longer in 

effect. Currently used as a general reference. 

(R=Radio Frequency, G=Government, 

U=Universal Specification). 

Shielding: Conductive envelope made of 

wires or metal foil that covers the dielectric 

and the center conductor. 

Twinaxial: An offshoot of coaxial cabling. 

Two center conductors with one dielectric and 

braided shielding. 

VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio): The 

ratio of the maximum effective voltage to the 

minimum effective voltage measured along a 

RF transmission line. This value generally 

increases with frequency and higher values 

are not desirable. 

Common Applications for Coaxial Cable Assemblies 

Home Entertainment 

Coaxial cable assemblies are 

used extensively to interconnect 

a wide variety of Home 

Entertainment equipment such 

as TV's, DVR's, VCR's CATV or 

Satellite Receivers. Generally, 

75 Ohm coaxial cable such as 

RG6 or RG59 is used to carry 

Audio and Video signals. 

Connectors commonly used are 

BNC, Type F and RCA. 

GPS 

Global Positioning Systems 

utilize 50 Ohm coaxial cable for 

connections between receiving 

antennas and other related 

equipment. RG174, RG188 or 

RG316 are often used with SMA, 

MCX or MMCX connectors. In 

addition, RG58 with TNC and 

Type N connectors is used for 

remote antenna feeds. 

Security Video 

The transmission of a video 

image from a security camera to 

a display monitor is often the 

job of a 75 Ohm coaxial cable 

such as RG59A/U, RG59B/U or 

RG179, most often with BNC 

connectors. Bundled assemblies 

with multiple 75 Ohm cables are 

often used to connect multicamera 

setups. 


The infrastructure of many 

telecommunications systems 

relies heavily on 50 Ohm 

coaxial cable for a multitude 

of interconnection applications. 

Cell towers and communication 

equipment in base station 

facilities are a few typical 

examples. In these applications 

RG58, RG223 and RG213 cable 

with BNC, TNC and Type N 

connectors are often utilized. 

WAN/LAN 

Wide Area Networks and Local 

Area Networks often utilize 50 

Ohm coaxial cable for equipment 

interconnection. In many of 

the numerous interconnection 

applications of these networks 

you will find RG58 and RG174 are 

two common cable types. BNC 

interface connectors are the 

most common connector types 

used in these situations. In 

addition reverse polarized 

connectors are found on many 

wireless antenna interfaces. 

Coaxial is a term derived from the construction of the cable, as illustrated here: 

In a coaxial cable an electrical impulse signal is transmitted along the cable length between the center conductor and the outer 

conductor. The center conductor and the outer conductor share the same center line or axis hence the term coaxial.

As shown in Figure 1, a 

heat shrink strain relief 

does offer some strain 

relief at the egress point 

where the cable exits the 

strain relief, reducing stress 

at this critical junction. 

Why is a molded strain relief superior to a heat shrink strain relief? 

As seen in Figure 2, however, 

a molded strain relief 

Figure 1 

provides far superior stress 

reduction through a more 

robust design. Improved 

adhesion between the strain 

relief and cable/connector 

Figure 2 

interface is achieved during the molding process. In addition, the molded strain 

relief design provides a more finished appearance than the heat shrink version.

Identifying a reverse polarized connector 

Male Threaded Coupling 

Nut Mechanism 

Female Threaded Coupling 

Nut Mechanism 

CC174RP 

A reverse polarized coaxial connector alters a standard connector interface by 

utilizing a male pin center conductor in a female threaded coupling mechanism 

and a female basket center conductor in a male threaded coupling nut mechanism. 

This prevents mating with a standard non-polarized connector. This type of 

connector is required by FCC part 15.203 rules for spread spectrum wireless 

devices. Common reverse polarized interfaces are RP-SMA and RP-TNC.

When is a 75 Ohm coaxial cable used? 

The primary use of a 75 Ohm cable is to transmit a video signal. One of the typical 

applications is television signals over cable, sometimes called signal feed cables. 

The most common connector used in this application is a Type F. Another 

application is video signals between components such as DVD players, VCRs or 

Receivers commonly known as audio/video (A/V) cables. In this case BNC and RCA 

connectors are most often found. In both of these applications RG59 with both 

solid center conductor (RG59B/U) and stranded center conductor (RG59A/U) as 

well as RG6 are often found. The cable assemblies offered in the following section 

cover the most common connection situations found in both applications.

CCF6 

Typical coaxial cable assemblies commonly found in the marketplace have 

male gender connectors on both ends. In applications where a cable must 

pass through an obstruction such as a bulkhead panel, a configuration as 

shown in Figure 1 is typically used. 

Figure 1 

By utilizing L-com’s male to female bulkhead cable assembly you can 

simplify the configuration, reducing the number of separate parts needed 

and reduce overall signal loss by eliminating an interface connection and 

the signal loss of the feedthru bulkhead. Figure 2 shows this set up.

Building Your Own Coaxial Cable Assembly 

In order to successfully build your own coaxial cable assembly, you must make the following decisions: 

1. Select a cable type. Many parameters come into play in making this decision from electrical performance properties such as impedance, shielding and 

attenuation to mechanical properties such as diameter, center conductor construction (solid vs stranded) and jacket material. 

2. Select a connector type. Numerous connector interfaces exist such as BNC, TNC, SMA, F or RCA to name just a few. Each has a different application and 

come in both male and female versions. 

3. Select an attachment method. In general, there are three basic methods to attach a coaxial connector to a coaxial cable. They are crimp, clamp and twist-on. 

Each of these methods is illustrated below. 

4. Select a tool. If a crimp attachment method was selected then a crimp tool will be needed. The drawing for the specific connector selected will give crimp 

sizes to select the correct tool. 

Crimp Method: This is the most common connector attachment method. In this case the cable shield is crimped to the connector using the crimp ring. 

The connector center conductor is attached to the cable center conductor by crimp or solder. 


STEP 4 

STEP 5 STEP 6 

Cut cable to length and slide 

crimp ring onto free end. 

Strip free end with Coaxial 

Cable Stripper. 

Slide pin onto center conductor Fan braid and slide plug over 

making sure base of pin meets pin. 

dielectric. Crimp in place. 

Pull crimp sleeve over braid 

and ring. 

Crimp in place. 

Clamp Method: 

The clamp method is often used for weather exposure 

applications or when crimp tools are not available. In this 

case the cable shield is clamped between the connector 

body and back nut. The connector center conductor is 

usually soldered to the cable center conductor. 

STEP 1 STEP 2 

STEP 3 

Twist-On Method: This method is most often used in field applications 

because of it’s simplicity and the need for no special 

tools. 

STEP 1 STEP 2 

STEP 3 

Cut cable and slide nut into 

position. Strip and flair braid. 

Position braid clamp and crimp 

or solder pin. 

Attach main body to back nut. 

Prepare cable with strip tool. Position connector body. Twist connector body onto cable. 

Crimp Tool: 

When using a crimp connector, 

the HT330K tool kit can be a 

valuable item. This kit contains 

dies for all the commonly used 

crimp sizes. In addition, this kit 

comes complete with a cable 

cutter and a rotary cable stripper 

- helpful tools for building a cable 

assembly. 

Plug or Jack: 

A PLUG utilizes a 

center pin = 

MALE GENDER 

A JACK utilizes a 

center socket = 

FEMALE GENDER 

Solid or Stranded: 


SOLID center conductor: 

best attenuation but 

somewhat stiff. 

STRANDED center 

conductor: more flexible 

but slightly higher 

attenuation.

What is the difference between 

a plug and a jack? 

People often have difficulty choosing the correct gender termination 

on cable assemblies. Plugs are considered male gendered connectors 

which utilize a center pin. Jacks are considered female gendered 

connectors utilizing a center socket. 

A PLUG utilizes 

a center pin = 

MALE GENDER 

A JACK utilizes a 

center socket =

High Performance 50 Ohm Cable Applications 

In many applications the performance of either standard RG series 50 Ohm cable or corrugated jacket 50 Ohm cable is simply not adequate. High 

performance cables with better loss and shielding characteristics as well as greater flexibility are available for these situations. Below is our offering 

of connectors for use on four of the more popular high performance cables. 

Connectors for Times Microwave LMR® Style Cable 

LMR® is a high performance flexible low loss 50 Ohm cable offering compatible RF performance to corrugated jacketed cable but with greater flexibility 

for ease of use. When compared to RG type braided cables of similar size LMR cables offer far less loss and better RF shielding.
