  2. Telecommunications pedestal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_pedestal

    A telecommunications pedestal is a ground-level housing for a passive connection point for underground cables. Technicians require access to connection points. Placing such a point underground (e.g., in a utility vault) is expensive, so pedestals are preferred when they are an

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Ivy_Bells

    Location of the Ivy Bells cable tap, off the Kamchatka Peninsula Operation Ivy Bells was a joint United States Navy , Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and National Security Agency (NSA) mission whose objective was to place wire taps on Soviet underwater communication lines during the Cold War .

  4. Underground power line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_power_line

    An underground power line provides electrical power with underground cables. Compared to overhead power lines , underground lines have lower risk of starting a wildfire and reduce the risk of the electrical supply being interrupted by outages during high winds, thunderstorms or heavy snow or ice storms.

  5. Pothead - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pothead

    A pothead is a type of insulated electrical terminal used for transitioning between overhead line and underground high-voltage cable or for connecting overhead wiring to equipment like transformers. [1] Its name comes from the process of potting or encapsulation of the conductors inside the terminal's insulating bushing.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring

    The first rubber-insulated cables for US building wiring were introduced in 1922 with US patent 1458803, Burley, Harry & Rooney, Henry, "Insulated electric wire", issued 1923-06-12, assigned to Boston Insulated Wire and Cable . These were two or more solid copper electrical wires with rubber insulation, plus woven cotton cloth over each ...

  7. Fiber tapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_tapping

    In the alarmed cable scenario, the sensing mechanism uses optical interferometry in which modally dispersive coherent light traveling through the multi-mode fiber mixes at the fiber's terminus, resulting in a characteristic pattern of light and dark splotches called a speckle pattern. The laser speckle is stable as long as the fiber remains ...

  8. Pad-mounted transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pad-mounted_transformer

    The core and coils are enclosed in a steel oil-filled tank, with terminals for the transformer accessible in an adjacent lockable wiring cabinet. The wiring cabinet has high and low-voltage wiring compartments. High and low-voltage underground cables from below enter the terminal compartments directly.

  9. ANSI/TIA-568 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI/TIA-568

    A cable terminated according to T568A on one end and T568B on the other is a crossover cable when used with the earlier twisted-pair Ethernet standards that use only two of the pairs because the pairs used happen to be pairs 2 and 3, the same pairs on which T568A and T568B differ. Crossover cables are occasionally needed for 10BASE-T and ...
