We all take Ethernet and its ubiquitous RJ-45 connector for granted these days. But Ethernet didn’t start with twisted pair cable. [Mark] and [Ben] at The Serial Port YouTube channel are taking a deep ...

Shielded twisted pair (STP) is a kind of cable made up of smaller wires where each small pair of wires is twisted together and has an outer coating to electrically shield it. STP is used for telephone ...

I have 4 pair (8 wire) telephone cable running all through the house. One pair of wire is for the telephone. Is is possible to use the three remaining pairs (6 wires) as an ethernet cable? It is kind ...

Ethernet, the wired networking technology that originated at Xerox PARC over 40 years ago, has always been remarkably solid. In much the same way that WiFi has ruled wireless networking since its ...

Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) is a ubiquitous type of copper cabling used in networking technologies, such as telephone wiring and local area networks (LANs). Different uses, such as analog, digital ...

Sometimes it takes a new twist (excuse the pun) on technology to elevate a product to the next level. Twisted-pair Ethernet cable was designed to cancel the electromagnetic interference (EMI noise) ...

The Ethernet Alliance and Avnu Alliance separately are moving Ethernet technology forward with a standard for twisted-pair Ethernet and a push for time-sensitive networking over wireless. As ...

Ethernet has gained speed many times, and now it may be about to lose weight. On Monday, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) announced the formation of a study group on ...

At this point, there are very few situations in which you'll want to use an Ethernet splitter.
