RE: Coaxial cable

2000-11-07 Thread Gary McInturff
Nicely put, but I want to emphasize one point. The foil in most cables doesn't have a metal to metal contact. Where the foil overlaps itself the polyester on the "underside" is what is in contact with the foil "outside". The type cable you are mentioning is called an "e" fold if I remember correc

Richard, The term that I ran across many times while researching my book was "optical coverage"-- as though you put a light bulb inside the shield and measured what percentage of its light leaked out. The basic assumptions are: 1. Electric and magnetic fields inside the shield are totally blocked

No. The foil has lower inductance at high frequencies. The combination of foil and braid gives the best protection in a flexible cable. -- >From: "SERGIO LUIZ DA ROCHA LOURES SERGIO" >To: >Subject: Coaxial cable >Date: Tue, Nov 7, 2000, 8:14 AM > > > Group > > We are using a coaxial

Sergio, A "foil & braid" shield is quite common on high-speed cables. If a cable is properly terminated and you don't have common-mode problems, most of its radiated emissions will be from holes in the shield. Thus "optical coverage", the percentage of the shield's nominal area that is actually

Group We are using a coaxial cable with two shields. One is a metallic mesh and the other is a aluminium foil. This foil is known as "static foil". What is the use of this foil? Is this used for electrostatic reasons? Regards Sérgio Rocha Loures Siemens Ltda. - Brazil ICN FL QEL Tel: +55 41 3

Hi Robert. I do not know about availability in the US but in the UK green/yellow electrical grade sleeving is available in various diameters (100 m reel lengths). A short length of green/yellow sleeving over the earth where the cord is stripped back may be a solution to your problem. Would
