Jumper Cable
Auto Jumper Cable Length?
When purchasing a set of jumper cables for my car do I need to consider the length as well as the gauge rating? In other words if I get cables 10 ft or longer what gauge should I consider?
Cool breeze_me:
Since electrical resistance is affected by the gage of the wire/cable, length of the wire/cable, and material that the conductor is made of, all these factors should be taken into account. 1-Thickest gage cable possible while still allowing some flexibility,2- Copper conductor, 3-Shortest cables that will still reach from car to car. Long cables may be convenient but ultimately just waste energy being heated up if they are asked to flow a large current.

Drive to Drive — Understanding how IDE Cables work
You may call it an Integrated Device or Drive or just an IDE. IDE Cables are used to connect two drives together. These cables are usually connected with the assistance of jumpers which are situated on the rear of a drive. The top drive is called the “master” drive and the bottom drive is called the “slave” drive. The master drive is naturally the primary drive. It is usually placed at the end of a two connection IDE cable. The secondary or slave drive is attached to the IDE cable between the primary drive and the motherboard IDE connection. It is not possible to transfer data from each drive simultaneously in effect creating two master drives.
IDE Cables include either 40 individual wires or 80 individual wires. Unfortunately, people started experiencing various problems and unusual issues crop up by using 40-conductor IDE cables because of its older and weak design. The speed of IDE/ATA interface is also very low. Current devices including the Ultra ATA/66 need 80 pin wire cables to work faster. People may be wondering on the introduction of 40 extra wires in a cable. However, the extra 40 wires do not carry any additional information except they are just there to split the original 40 signal wires, in an effort to reduce intrusion and other signalling problems linked with higher-speed transfers. So the 40 additional conductors are allied to the grounding and intermingle between the initial 40 conductors of the previous cable. Any abandoned signals that would “cross-talk” amidst neighbouring wires on the 40-conductor cable are “absorbed” by these additional ground wires, recuperating signal reliability. The added ground wires can equate to all of the even-numbered wires, or all of the odd-numbered wires within the cable.
Majority of wires within an IDE Cable are used to transmit data connecting the motherboard and the drives. Now-a-days Enhanced Integrated Device or Drive (EIDE) has become a common standard because it four times faster than its counterpart the IDE standard.
It was the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) who adopted IDE as a standard in the year 1990. ANSI calls IDE as Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA). Today almost all the new computers have an inbuilt IDE controller into the motherboard. But with the advancement of technology, slowly and steadily Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA cables) are being used for connecting hard drives or CD drives to motherboards. This new invention, which is smaller in width, helps in relocating data at a fast pace as compared to the older IDE cables and is slowly replacing the older IDE Ribbon cable I.e. PATA. The data transfer rate of SATA cables starts from 1.5Gbits.
Buying tips: IDE Cables
• Check whether the IDE cables allow custom placement of the connectors on the cable and offer elasticity in the placement of IDE drives?
• Check whether the cable has 2A AC power supply to guarantee adequate power to meet the needs of the drives which are relatively power-consuming.
• If you intend to use 80-wire pinned cables, connect the blue end connector to the system board, gray middle connector to the Slave, and the black end connector to the Master for appropriate data transfer efficiency.
