Copper Cable Theft

Category 6 cable—Gigabit Ethernet over copper

What do you think of when someone mentions local area data networks? The chances are you picture communications ICs, protocols, network-interface connectors—the high-profile elements that engineers immediately equate with linking PCs into systems. But you'd be entirely wrong to ignore or dismiss the interconnection hardware that glues the infrastructure together. There's a revolution going on h...

Copper wire theft and high voltage electrical burns.

High voltage electrical burns are uncommon. However in the midst of our economic recession we are noticing an increasing number of these injuries. Copper wire is a valuable commodity with physical properties as an excellent conductor of electricity making it both ubiquitous in society and prized on the black market. We present two consecutive cases referred to the National Burns Unit who sustai...
