What type of foil shielding is used on data cables?
Foil shielding is critical in reducing EMI and other crosstalk in any cable design. In twisted data cables, two types of tin foil may be used inside —aluminum foil or copper foil. Three methods are commonly used in a cable’s foil construction — longitudinal, diagonal and wrapped. Longitudinal — The easiest and cheapest foil method […]
Single-cable solutions – new possibilities opened up by high-quality components and an open protocol
Single-cable solutions are increasingly gaining traction in the field of servodrive technology. In addition to the growing number of drive manufacturers offering single-cable solutions, this trend is fueled by the increasing number of manufacturers of rotary encoders that allow the implementation of such solutions in the first place. They differ not only in the protocol used, but also […]
