Federal Commission Completes Report on Consequences of an EMP Attack

 

The Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse has issued a 208-page report detailing a grim scenario of cascading disasters as critical infrastructures fail. If terrorists were to obtain a nuclear weapon and to detonate it over the continental United States, every facet of modern life that depends on electricity would be impacted. The … [Read more...]

Filtered AC Inlet Performs at High Frequencies up to 1 GHz

 

The 5150 Series of AC Filtered Inlets from Schurter utilizes X2Y® filter technology. These devices are characterized by broadband suppression properties to 1 GHz in tandem with a simple and universal input. Unlike previous products that used X2Y® but were limited to DC applications, the 5150 Series provides EMI protection for AC power input. X2Y® combines the X and Y capacitors … [Read more...]

New Arrays Boost Capacitance Density in Mobile Phones and PCs

 

The new 032 size GNMOM2R5M capacitor array from Murata offers 1.0 µF per element. This twin element device helps conserve mounting service area and mounting costs as compared to the use of multiple monolithic capacitors. Relying on dielectric material technology, each element of this device can achieve 1 µF with higher capacitance than current technology allows for a single … [Read more...]

Surge Protectors Safeguard Sensitive Telecom Applications

 

The E289 Series from Citel are surge suppressors. When plugged into a Citel base, these suppressors have been crafted expressly to protect sensitive telephone, datacom, and instrumentation equipment against harmful lightning surges and electrical transients. These suppressors utilize a hybrid that combines a fast response time (website. The NEBS/Telecom Forum on … [Read more...]

Policy Institute and Labor Union Oppose Telecom Merger on Grounds of Peril to Workers

 

Both the EMR Policy Institute and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) have filed formal protests with the Federal Communications Commission opposing the Alltel / Verizon Wireless merger. The basis for the Petition to Deny is that the FCC has failed to address the issue of the long term exposure to RF radiation on human health. The complaints allege an … [Read more...]

NEBS

 

NEBS (Network Equipment Building Standards) is the set of safety, spatial, and environmental design guidelines applied to telecommunications equipment in the United States. The NEBS concept was first introduced by Bell Labs in the 1970s. Telcordia, and its predecessor Bellcore have maintained the NEBS documents since the divestiture of the local Bells in 1984. Additional … [Read more...]
