IEEE 1394 (FireWire )
|
|
IEEE 1394 or FireWire® is an interface standard adopted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for very fast digital data transfers such as streaming video. IEEE 1394 connectors are used to transmit and receive data among FireWire devices, and are designed to replace external high-speed peripheral connections to personal computers, including hard disks, CD-ROMs, DVDs, graphics cards, high-speed scanners, direct video, monitors, etc. Tiny, robust FireWire connectors will also become important parts of home entertainment, communication, and appliance networks. FireWire is a registered trademark of Apple Computer, Inc.

| |
SC
|
|
SC fiber optic connectors have a 2.5mm ferrule, push-pull latching mechanism, and the ability to be snapped together to form duplex and multifiber connectors. SC connectors are the preferred fiber optic cable for premises cabling, and are recommended by the TIA / EIA-568-A Standard for structured cabling. Used with Ethernet 100Base-FX and 1000Base-LX / SX fiber optic media systems.

|
|
The S/T interface is the connector on the ISDN modem where other ISDN devices connect in order to communicate over ISDN.
|
| |
ISDN BRI U Interface
|
|
ISDN devices must have a terminator (called NT1 terminator) that is placed between the ISDN device and the wall jack. The U interface is the connector that connects NT1 terminated ISDN devices to the telephone company's ISDN wall jack. Many ISDN devices have a U interface, so they can be connected directly to the wall jack.
|
| |
Serial Ports (RS232, RS422, RS485)
|
|
Serial Ports (Asynchronous Serial Interface): A system-to-system communication interface. Data is sent over a single wire (serial). Transmission is asynchronous because no synchronization or clocking signal is present.
|
| |
ST
|
|
Designation for the "straight tip" connector developed by AT&T. This fiber optic connector features a physically contacting non-rotating 2.5mm ferrule design and bayonet connector-to-adapter mating. Used with Ethernet 10Base-FL and FIORL links.
|
| |
USB
|
|
Universal serial bus (USB) is a 4-wire, 12-Mbps serial bus for low-to-medium speed peripheral device connections to personal computers (PC), including keyboards, mice, modems, printers, joysticks, audio functions, monitor controls, etc. The USB design is standardized by the USB Implementers Forum (USBIF), an organization that includes leading companies from the computer and electronics industries. The current USB specification is USB 2.0, which supports data transfer rates of up to 480 Mbps.

Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
|
|
Spread spectrum is a technique that is used to reduce the impact of localized frequency interferences. To achieve this, it uses more bandwidth than the system needs. There are two main spread spectrum modalities: direct sequence and frequency hopping. The principle of direct sequence spreads the signal on a larger band by multiplexing it with a code (signature) to minimize localized interference and noise. The system works over a large band. To spread the signal, each bit is modulated by a code.
|
| |
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum
|
|
Spread spectrum is a technique that is used to reduce the impact of localized frequency interferences. To achieve this, it uses more bandwidth than the system needs. There are two main spread spectrum modalities: direct sequence and frequency hopping. Frequency hopping uses a technique where the signal walks through a set of narrow channels in sequence. The transmission frequency band is divided in certain number of channels, and periodically the system hop to a new channel, following a predetermined cyclic hopping pattern. The system avoids interference by never staying in the same channel a long period of time.
