3 Copper cables main characteristics The main characteristics of a transmission media are: Vp: Velocity of propagation of the signal expressed as c fraction (speed of the light in the empty space): values included between 0.5 and 0.8 c Z = r+ji impedance of the line conductors' dimension american AWG unit of measurement Diameter, electrical resistance Cables-Engl - 3 P. Nicoletti: see note pag. 2

4 AWG: American Wire Gage Scale to measure the copper wire dimension It is a geometrical regression with 39 values in the interval 000 gage g (0.460 diameter inch) and 36 gage (0.005 diameter inch) Every increase of a gage corresponds to a diameter relationship of: /39 1/39 ( ) 1/39 = 92 = Cables-Engl - 4 P. Nicoletti: see note pag. 2

5 Copper cables AWG 24 or 22 AWG for structured cabling system 26 AWG for patch cord AWG mm (Ø) mm 2 Kg/Km /Km Cables-Engl - 5 P. Nicoletti: see note pag. 2

6 Copper cable attenuation The attenuation is the output signal reduction with respect to the entry signal in the cable: attenuation linearly grows in db with the length of the cable and the feq frequencyenc square root to reduce the cable attenuation expanded insulators are used because improve the capacity Cables-Engl - 6 P. Nicoletti: see note pag. 2

7 Attenuation V 1 V 2 db = 20 log 10 (V 1 / V 2 2) Cables-Engl - 7 P. Nicoletti: see note pag. 2

8 Copper pair Cross-Talk Signal energy part induction on the near conductors, where a disturb becomes The phenomenon increases with increasing it by frequency It can be measured in several manners Cables-Engl - 8 P. Nicoletti: see note pag. 2

9 NEXT: Near End Cross-Talk Cross-Talk measured at the transmitter side V 1 V 3 NEXT db = 20 log 10 (V 1 / V 3 ) Cables-Engl - 9 P. Nicoletti: see note pag. 2

10 NEXT: Near End Cross-Talk The attenuation only makes the NEXT measure significant by the first mt of cable The measurement is necessary to both ends: dual NEXT V 1 V 3 Cables-Engl - 10 P. Nicoletti: see note pag. 2

11 FEXT: Far End Cross-Talk Cross-Talk measured at the receiver side V 1 V 4 FEXT db = 20 log 10 (V 1 / V 4 ) Cables-Engl - 11 P. Nicoletti: see note pag. 2

12 ACR ACR (Attenuation to Cross-Talk Ratio) Combination of attenuation and NEXT signal to noise ratio noise caused by Cross-Talk Required only by ISO and EN normative Cables-Engl - 12 P. Nicoletti: see note pag. 2

13 ELFEXT: Equal Level FEXT ~ ~ Cables-Engl - 13 P. Nicoletti: see note pag. 2

14 PSELFEXT (Power Sum ELFEXT) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Cables-Engl - 14 P. Nicoletti: see note pag. 2

15 Velocity of propagation (Vp) The propagation p velocity of the signals on the transmission means is high, but not infinite, so the propagation time is little but not null It is necessary to ensure thatt delays do not exceed certain maximum values to ensure the protocol working V P 2/3 c (c is speed of the light in the empty space m/s) Cables-Engl - 15 P. Nicoletti: see note pag. 2

16 Delay skew Cables-Engl - 16 P. Nicoletti: see note pag. 2

17 Return loss Il return loss = reflections measurements Impedance Z 1 Z 2 Z 3 variations Cables-Engl - 17 P. Nicoletti: see note pag. 2

18 Shielded cable The shield presence can involve: bigger immunity to the electromagnetic disturb disturb radio emission reduction bigger constancy of the impedance if applied to single pair reduces the crosstalk It is necessary to make a correct screen grounding: Cables-Engl - 18 P. Nicoletti: see note pag. 2

19 Twisted pair cable Constituted by one or more twisted pair of copper conductors Used for voice, local nets, structured cabling system the electrical characteristic required for LAN are definitely higher than those for voice Lower bandwith than the coaxial one Reduced costs and simple installation Cables-Engl - 19 P. Nicoletti: see note pag. 2

20 Twisted Pair cable types UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair): (Z = 100 ) FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair): (Z = 100 ) S-UTP o S-FTP: (Z = 100 ) STP (Shielded Twisted Pair): (Z = 150 ) Cables-Engl - 20 P. Nicoletti: see note pag. 2
