    Standards/Best Practices for Grounding?

    Two other good resources are TIA/EIA 607 available at www.global.ihs.com, and of course the current NEC.

    CATV and Broadband setup

    Also watch out for those damn O-rings. If not torqued almost to the breaking point, they consistently result in intermittent connections. Tis my experience. LOL.

    CATV and Broadband setup

    In reply to hex crimps Amphenol is the only decent hex crimp connector that I have worked with. They have a wide variety of quality hex crimps to suit many apps. In regard to field terminations, most hex crimps that I have worked with do not sufficiently grab the cable. I have performed dozens...

    CATV and Broadband setup

    First things first,if it has anything at all to do with voice data or video, DO NOT buy jack from R.S. I'm dead serious. Try to find a R.S. employee that really has answers, good luck, they are the guys that are still selling satin cable for ethernet etc.(ignorance is ignorance!) Second, when...

    Looping Cat5 instead of home runs

    Bottom line in Wa. is TIA 570,which prohibits daisy chain of voice much less data! Also specs. IDC terminations. Poor guy, for his sake I hope it works, but we all know even it does work, it still wont work!!!

    Running Cat5e, Tele, cable wires problem?

    Derrin, The ground shield is only as good as the grounding, and as a matter of I have observed the ground source to be an extreme noise factor in alot of instances, not only that, but even routing comm. cable near a ground source can more often than not induce alot whole lot of NOISE.

    Running Cat5e, Tele, cable wires problem?

    If you must exceed 150' of coax, I recommend RG11. Also keep in mind that satellite antenna runs typically have 13 to 18 vdc present, so parallel runs of cat5 could suffer EMI. NEC requires 4" seperation between comm cables and electrical service cables.

    Network cabeling interference with cable TV

    It is possible for satellite antenna lead in to interfere considering that there is typically 13 to 18 v.d.c. present.
