LED strip amplifier / LED amplifier / RGB amplifier. Features, problems, choice.

Image
What is the difference between LED strip amplifiers, LED amplifiers, and RGB amplifiers? Only in words and channels. LED strip amplifier is a general definition. An LED amplifier usually refers to a single-channel device that operates with a white light strip. Another name is the DC amplifier. WW LED Amplifier is a dual channel device for warm and cool white light temperature strips. An RGB amplifier is a three-channel device that produces red, green, and blue color strips. The RGBW amplifier is a four-channel device for red, green, and blue color strips, with additional white LEDs. The RGBWW amplifier is a five-channel device for red, green, and blue color strips, with additional warm and cool white LEDs. Why do you need LED amplifiers? Conductors always have resistance. Imagine we want to install an LED strip around a 500-square-foot room (16*32 feet). We need 96 feet of LED strip, and it is impossible (!) to connect it to the power supply at one point (!). Why? For example, a strip

Finding branches using a reflectometer

Image
  As you know, a data cabling system consists of different segments. To connect them all and bring the data connection to the end user, it is necessary to make a certain number of crossings. Often, staff forgets to disconnect "old" lines. As a result, over time, parallel branches appear, and their presence can have a detrimental effect on the quality of services. BRANCHES AS A SOURCE OF PROBLEMS Parallel branches can make it difficult to serve clients and ensure system functionality. With the introduction of digital systems, the search for parallel branches becomes an increasingly important task since they negatively affect the operation of digital transmission systems and, even if in most cases they are relatively short in length, nevertheless lead to significant problems. The bramch creates a second path for digital signals transmitted on the main line, which travel along the branch and are reflected from its open end. Reflected signals (echoes) enter the main line, where t

What is a COB LED strip? What’s inside a COB strip?  1. Introduction. LEDs for the LED strip An LED (light-emitting diode) is a semiconductor that emits light by transmitting an electric current. LEDs are made from a silicon crystal (i.e., a chip). LEDs have both advantages and drawbacks. The most important ones are fragility (silicon is a very brittle material) and the inability to sustain temperatures over 200 to 250 °F. The LED chips are protected from mechanical damage by a housing usually made from plastic. This housing also dissipates the heat from the chip to the surrounding objects (e.g., an additional heat sink). The LED chip is placed inside such housing. There are miniature copper conductors inside the housing for the electrical connection of the chip. On the outside of the housing, there are copper conductors that a used to connect the housing to the surface (circuit board, tape, wires, etc.). Enclosures can be different. SMD (Surface Mounted Device) housing technology is t
