grafx1 Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 (edited) i have my analog TV antenna cable running side by side with my computer network cable..is antenna cable has interference on network cable or may result in data loss ?Thank you for your support. Edited May 3, 2006 by grafx1
Maleko Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 in answer to your question, as far as im aware, no it wont cause data lose, the only cables to avoid are mains power cables.
puntoMX Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 (edited) It could interfere with the UTP cable, providers of TV-signals most of the time use a higher voltage to get the signal clear to your TV; I’ve seen voltages of 60, same with telephone lines. But like most people say it’s unlikely that the computer-network will suffer from the TV-signal, it’s a chance of 1 on 50 or so that it could be a problem. Edited May 3, 2006 by puntoMX
phkninja Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 If the tv cable is unshileded or the shielding is minimal (basically cheap cable), then it could have an effect on the UTP cable. TV signals dont have to be high in voltage to mess with the data on the UTP (as tv signals acrry numerours frequencies, some of which are harmonics of the Digital clock signals used in computers for data transmission)
puntoMX Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 Higher voltage is a higher amplified signal, read it like this. Also, the price depends on the cable core, not so much on the shielding of that core.
