摘要:
A cable (36) which includes eight coaxial cables (20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34). The shields of pairs of 50 Ohm coaxial cables are connected together at the ends with copper tape (33, 35, 37) to form a desired 100 Ohm differential impedance. Since the impedance of the cable is set by the diameter of the inner conductors and the corresponding dielectric, the impedance is independent of proximity of adjacent pairs, or the proximity of hands or other conductive surfaces. As such, the stability of such a cable is improved over a typical four pair cable. Additionally, the conductors can always be oriented the same way within the plug. Test instruments can make stable measurements including "return loss" measurements when using test cable consisting of eight coax conductors properly connected together to connect to cable installations being measured. Attenuation or insertion loss of the test cables on test instruments can be compensated for by means of calibration of the instrument.
摘要:
A device (20) for cutting a welded wire structure (22) is provided. The welded wire structure (22) includes a first wire (24) and a second wire (26) which are joined together and are offset relative to each other. The device (20) includes a first arm (28) pivotally connected to a second arm (30). The first arm (28) includes a handle (34) and a jaw (38) connected thereto. The second arm (30) includes a handle (36) and a jaw (40) connected thereto. The jaws (38, 40) are offset from each other. The jaw (38) of the first arm (28) includes a U-shaped portion (56) into which the first wire (24) is capable of being positioned during cutting. The jaw (40) of the second arm (30) includes a notch (64) provided in a surface (58) thereof which faces the jaw (38) of the first arm (28). The second wire (26) is capable of being positioned within the notch (64) during cutting.
摘要:
A panel punch (200) includes a main punch (232) to punch a trapezoidal opening in a panel (P) to receive an electrical chassis connector, and a secondary punch (234) integral with the main punch (232) and extending from each end (244, 246) thereof to punch a U-shaped slot in the panel extending from each end of the trapezoidal opening to receive mounting screws for physically attaching the electrical connector to the panel, characterised in that the maximum height of the secondary punch upper working surface (274) relative to the base (248) does not exceed the minimum height of the main punch inclined working surfaces (250, 252) and the height relative to the base (248) of the remote secondary punch end is less than the maximum height of the secondary punch inclined working surface (274).
