WHAT IS GigE? GigE or Gigabit Ethernet is a member of the family of computer networking and communication standards. The GigabitEthernet standard supports a theoretical maximum data rate of 1 gigabits per second (1 Gbps or 1000Mbps), as definedby the IEEE 802.3-2008 standard. To ensure a high data rate, Gigabit Ethernet workS using unshielded twisted pair (1000BASE-T) copper cable (specifically...

SRS Tech Note: SG384 RF Signal Generator
Some customers require high carrier suppression when using the external I/Q modulation inputs. Tests have shown that the SRS SG384 (with Option 3, External I/Q modulation inputs) can provide more than 70 dB of carrier suppression with careful control of the offset voltage on the external I/Q modulation inputs. The photo above shows the power signal envelope of a SRS... -

LATAB Strobe Controllers Q&A
Q: Tell me more about the LATAB Strobe Controllers. Like the lighting heads they are designed in a black aluminum housing. The controller is enabled for plug and play. Just connect the LATAB lighting head and the controller automatically identifies the lighting type by an electronic sensor and gives the maximum light intensity to the lighting head. The strobe pulse... -
