120 and 75 ohm DDF

03/01/2007 4:49 AM

Would like to know the advantages and disadvantages of having a 120 ohm over a 75 ohm system DDF.

Siklista,

That would depend on exactly what you are talking about, which is not at all clear to at least me.

Regards, Greg

Hi Siklista, welcome to CR4.

Since you are new to the forum you are probably unaware of how international it is. The reason you got no real response to you query is nobody really understood what the question was.

This is because what I call the CRIMINAL use of acronyms. I am sure somebody can help but we need to know what you mean by DDF so if you would elaborate slightly I am sure somebody would be glad to help.

Hello,

I suppose you mean DDF = Digital Distribution Frame which is a distribution network technology of digital signals.

75 (or 50 or 60) ohm are controlled impedances when you use coaxial (or triaxial) = shielded, asymmetrical cables. And unshielded or shielded symmetrical cables (2 parallel wires) have normally higher impedances of about 2-4 times the above (120, 240, 300 ohm).

In noisy disturbed (or disturbable !!) areas it is recommended to use asymmetrical shielded cables.

You can change between these impedances with so-called "balun-"transformers.


Regards Uwe
