Test Data

Bit-error Testing

Data corruption in network cables can occur when conventional power cabling is run parallel to network cables. This corruption, measured as bit errors, results in slow network connections or loss of data. Tested for three types of interference, SIMTRA® power cables absorb or attenuate the coupled transient surges, electrical fast transients, and high-frequency noise emissions that can cause bit errors in network cables.

Insertion Loss of High-frequency Injection

Insertion Loss is a measure of the amount of high-frequency attenuation that occurs through the power transmission line. Frequency content above the primary carrier frequency (typically 60Hz) is undesirable and can originate from noise generated in a power supply or grid. Lower negative values show a greater amount of high-frequency absorption in the cable and thus more absorption of the unwanted noise in the power line.

Coupled Transient Surges

Transient surges in conventional AC lines can cause hazardous interference and noise into adjacent audio, video, and data lines. SIMTRA® power cables with patented ferrite-barrier technology absorb these transients, virtually eliminating interference and safety hazards.
