Ep. 71 | Breaking the 100m Barrier: Extended Distance Cabling & Testing Explained

The industry is buzzing about extended distance cabling—going beyond the 100m standard for Ethernet connections. But what does it take to push those limits?
In our recent Tech Talk, host Steve Cowles RCDD/NTS and special guest Arvind Patel, Director of Hardware Engineering at AEM, explored the technology behind extended-distance cables, why they’re needed, and how factors like Insertion Loss, DC Resistance, and Return Loss impact performance. Plus, they discussed how to properly test beyond 100m—including Single Pair Ethernet & Hybrid Powered Fiber!
