Description

Despite the heavy emphasis on video over the past 15 years, the evolutions of home audio and video have actually taken nearly identical paths. Looking back on the home A/V market in the mid 1990s the industry began a transition away from the VCR and its low-resolution video and Dolby Pro Logic audio technologies into the DVD optical disc format. As everyone knows the DVD format offered consumers an improved picture with 480 lines of resolution and progressive deinterlacing options. It also offered a choice of audio formats that included standard PCM stereo, Pro Logic and discrete multichannel DTS and Dolby Digital. As the decade of the 1990s drew to a close the video category moved onto high-definition (HD) video, while the audio market experimented with the higher resolution Super Audio CD (SACD) and DVD-Audio formats (DVD-A). More recently the A/V market has fully adopted HD in the form of the Blu-ray disc format. Along with the HD 1080 picture quality of Blu-ray, the format also offers the lossless audio formats DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD.

Are the connectors for category 5e and category 6 different? Why are they more expensive? Although category 6 and category 5e connectors may look alike, category 6 connectors have much better transmission performance. For example, at 100 MHz, NEXT of a category 5e connector is 43 decibels (dB), while NEXT of a category 6 connector is 54 dB. This means that a cat6 connector couples about 1/12 of the power that a cat5e connector couples from one pair to another pair. Conversely, one can say that a category 6 connector is 12 times less “noisy” compared to a category 5e connector. This vast improvement in performance was achieved with new technology, new processes, better materials and significant R&D resources, leading to higher costs for manufacturers.
