PROGRAM: Using Category 5,5e,6 for Audio and Video Applications
Can you use Category 5 or enhanced versions (5e, 6) to carry analog and digital audio? Or analog or digital video? How about S-video, RGB or VGA? Or broadband/CATV? How about SDI? Of course you can! For some applications, baluns are required. Exactly how to use, and when not to use, Category cables is discussed. Included is a tutorial on balanced lines and how they reject noise and crosstalk, and concludes with a live demo running SDI down Category 6.
Steve Lampen brings humor and an invigorating style to the subject of cable and infrastructure. If you’ve not heard Steve, trust me, don’t miss this one! N.S.
