(Oliver Heaviside 1850-1925) ELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE

Impedance is total sum of all factors preventing the conduction of an AC voltage through a conductor

The factors are :- RESISTANCE,INDUCTANCE and CAPACITANCE

RESISTANCE – The insulator or conductor properties of the conductor

INDUCTANCE – The generation of magnetic fields consuming AC voltage from the signal

CAPACITANCE -The build up of an electrical charge consuming AC voltage from the signal

RESISTANCE + INDUCTANCE + CAPACITANCE

AC Signal out
AC Signal in
Category 5e,6 = 100 OHM Impedance (Ethernet Networks)
Confusion Note:
Electrical resistance = OHMS RG58 = 50 OHM Impedance (Ethernet networks (obsolete)
Impedance = OHMS
RG59 = 75 OHM Impedance (Video, CCTV, TV )
Not the same thing!
Thank you Oliver RG 62 = 93 OHM Impedance (Radio Transmitter feed lines)
