Ethernet co-inventor David Boggs dies at 71 https://www.engadget.com/ethernet-co-inventor-david-boggs-dies-at-71-110524422.html Pioneering Xerox PARC computer researcher David Boggs has died at 71, The New York Times has reported. Boggs was best known for co-inventing the Ethernet with Bob Metcalfe. Boggs joined the team in 1973, and started working with fellow researcher Bob Metcalfe on a system to send →
Ethernet cables are all often too long or too short. People on Reddit are competing to invent the shortest possible working ethernet cable. Ethernet cables are easy to crimp together yourself, and industrious folks on Reddit are currently engaged in a race to see who can make the shortest working length of ethernet. The results →
I got some TAIYO YUDEN 9012R0 LEADED COMMON MODE CHOKE COILS FOR AC LINES and thought some uses for them. The specifications for those from datasheet were: TLH10UA 901 2R0 RoHS Common mode inductance (mH): 0.9 min. Normal mode inductance (mH): 0.067 DC resistance: 0.089 Rated current (A max): 2.0 Rated voltage AC (V max): →
LANtenna hack spies on your data from across the room! (Sort of) post tells that Mordechai Guri from the Ben Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) in Israel has recently published a new data exfiltration’ paper detailing an unexpectedly effective way of sneaking very small amounts of data out of a cabled network without using →
Ethernet has risen to the top of the communications networking industry as a standard that dominates the data center down to the PC. Compatibility between old and new versions of Ethernet is legendary. The Ethernet Alliance has started an ongoing oral history, The Voices of Ethernet, in the form of video interviews of key players →
Ethernet Killer is well known meme in many versions. Fiftythree.org presents: The Etherkiller and Friends says” “It all started one day with this guy, the origional Etherkiller, developed with a few misc parts to warn new users that the IT department is not to be messed with. You too can make one at home, connect →
I got 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet running through this over voltage protector. They are nor designed for faster data rate. Those protectors are designed to protect two 100 ohms wire pairs. They are designed to work well up to 60 MHz signal and have low capacitance (around 30 pF between wire pair wires). Links to →
I have written about running audio signals over CAT 5/6/7 wires normally designed to carry Ethernet traffic. But is is possible to run Ethernet over audio cabling terminated with XLR connectors? Gearspace discussion at topic “Ethernet over XLR – Can I do this ???” had following question: We recently moved into an old recording studio →
NOYAFA NF-8209 Network Cable Tester is used to measure cable continuity. It enables the measurement of connection errors in UTP / STP twisted pairs. The device is manufactured by SHENZHEN NOYAFA TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD and sold with several different brand names. NF-8209 Main features： 1. Two scan modes selectable: AC filter & Non AC filter. →
Fiber maybe for some fastest backbone runs and longest runs properly protected and handled with proper care. But in many applications the main media is copper cable where the media selection is between unshielded (UTP) and shielded (STP) varieties. I have some copper comments on UTP vs STP. STP is nice in locations where good →
