We do what we call cross-connects, and we use wire. So Ohm's Law comes
into play as distance of a certain length [increases resistance and]
decreases the transmission capability. So here in our environment we use
what we call repeaters or amplifiers, because we can only go a certain
distance before we start losing the quality of transmission.
Okay, I'll go back like to some of our fundamentals of basic electronics, Ohm's Law and things like that. They really come into play even though you're using it and not knowing it. The reason for that I'm saying is because we do what we call cross-connects, and we use wire. So Ohm's Law comes into play.
Okay, resistance--in our environment--we do physical wiring cross-connects. We have to take resistance into consideration with what we call the gauge of a wire, the thickness. It's a certain gauge, so we can only go a certain distance with that wire to comply, to provide clearer communication. If we go any further than that, it's going to lose. The resistance is going to get higher and the transmission or the quality is going to get less--unless some form of amplification is used. In our case we use amplifying repeaters, when doing cross connects, considering the length and gauge of wire used to do a cross-connect.
