That one I'm familiar with.. (SpaceWire cables, for instance, have 4 shielded twisted pairs, 2 in each direction, with the shields grounded at the sending end for each pair of pairs)... These were just plain old two (gold/palladium plated) pins for each "cable" (granted, the cable is some complex braided combination of silver ribbons, which is a fairly exotic form of Litz wire, I assume... but no shield) > > The situation for "directional" speaker cables is a bit stranger, but, > again, typically involves a shield connected at only one end of the cable. > > --Greg > > > _______________________________________________ > time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com > To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts > and follow the instructions there. > _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
