- thwarted 13y agoBut it that's exactly what you don't want: sharper corners means greater chance of getting snagged on the inside of the cable bends or against other bits. What you really want is data that is all zeros... nice round, rubbery, flexible zeros, that can bounce off each other. That's impractical though. Did you ever wonder why the zero has a line through it? That is to avoid a one going through the center and changing the parity and checksumming when bits get reordered.
- sliverstorm 13y agoWell that is going to make for more ringing on the line, better pick up some USB terminators for the other ports.
- Kliment 13y agoWhile this has absolutely nothing to do with audiophile bullshit, bit corner sharpness is a thing (it's not called that though) in high-speed digital signalling. Basically, each conductor pair has a certain degree of capacitance so making a transition from high to low or vice versa is not a discrete, instantaneous event but takes time. If your signal is changing rapidly enough that this transition time is in the same order of magnitude as the length of each bit, you get blurry bits, and unreadable signal. And in this case, better conductor layout, with less capacitance, does give you sharper bit corners! So yes, fact.
