...first appeared, fiber was crucial to running Gigabit Ethernet effectively. Since then, the IEEE802.3ab standard for Gigabit over Category 5 cable has been approved, enabling short stretches of Gigabit speed over existing copper cable. Today,...

...the excess voltage and one of your ports will be damaged. • You can’t test for ground loops. You don’t know you have one until a vital component fails. Only prevention works—use optical isolation or fibre optic cable on all your long data lines.

...etc. S/PDIF is based on the professional AES3 interconnect standard. • S/PDIF signals are carried over two types of cables. The first is a 75-ohm coaxial cable with orange RCA connectors. The second is a fiber cable with TOSLINK connectors.

...the world. Using fiber cables and media converters and switches is not a bad idea, but in many cases not a solution that you can do immediately or for somewhat money. If there is no fiber cable, you need to install one. If you want to connect...

...also work with optical fiber, or send your data via WLAN or FSO (Free Space Optics - e.g. LaserLink), or even use leased lines with modems or routers. Although great distances (100km and more) are possible with optical fiber (single mode), this sol...
