A system used to specify wire
size. The greater the wire
diameter, the smaller
the AWG value.

Q

Chromatic Dispersion

A

A result of the phenomenon that
the velocity of propagation in a
medium is frequency dependent,
which causes the frequency
components of a pulse to lose
phase coherence as it
propagates (e.g., transmitted
pulse will spread out as it
propagates).

Q

Coaxial Cable

A

A cable consisting of a central
metallic inner conductor
separated from an enclosing
outer conductor by a dielectric
material. This material may be
solid, foam, suitable gas, or dry
air. The outer conductor
comprises a metallic braid, a foil
layer, or a combination
of braid and foil.

Q

Conductance

A

The measure of the ease with
which electrical current flows
through a conductor. Uniformly
distributed along the conductor
length, conductance varies as a
function of a conductor’s geometry
and the dielectric properties of the
materials surrounding the
conductor. One of the primary
parameters for transmission lines.
The inverse of resistance. The unit
of measure is siemens (S).

delay between any two balanced
twisted-pairs within the same
cable sheath. (T IA)
Usually used in reference to the
delay between the balanced
twisted-pair with the highest and
the lowest signal propagation
delay value.

A

A characteristic of transmission
in an optical fiber that results
from different lengths of the
light paths taken by the many
