continuously sending data. A jabbering station is one whose
circuitry or logic has failed, and which has locked up a network
channel with its incessant transmission.

Jacket - The outer protective covering of a cable.
Jitter - The slight movement of a transmission signal
in time or phase that can introduce errors and loss of synchronization.
More jitter will be encountered with longer cables, cables with
higher attenuation, and signals at higher data rates. Also,
called phase jitter, timing distortion, or intersymbol interference.
Jumper - An assembly of twisted pairs without connectors
used to used to join telecommunications circuits at the cross
connect. Similar to a patch cable (which has connectors). |
