TM: ""He said that in the red/white cable (26 guage), the two reds and the two whites are connected to form the send and return legs. In this way, each twisted pair forms each leg.And in the blue/white cable, the two blues and the two whites are connected to form the send and return legs. In this case, one wire from each twisted pair is used to make up the send and return legs.
He said the latter method gives the best performance in terms of radiated fields and susceptibility to external fields.""
Hmmm..and you trust Steve....why?? :-)
Hey, I'm havin fun....last day till vaca..
Steve's statement seems logical..from inspection, it appears that the red set has symmetry, the average current in the whites is physically very close to the average current in the reds...but I suspect the open areas allow more external field..but the blue, by description, is more like two twisted pairs, each neutralizing more external field.
I wonder if that was verified by test...
Cheers, John
