Implementing a variable-length Cat5e cable equalizer
April 23, 2010 | Abhijeet Godbole and Xavier Ramus
Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables have long been used to transmit data over long distances, starting with telephone line networks. All UTP cables attenuate the signal over frequency with maximum attenuation at maximum signal frequency. This attenuation will also increase as the cable length increases. This application note focuses on a continuously-adaptable equalization technique of Category-5 enhanced (Cat5e) cable for applications intended to be used with various length of Cat5e cable.
