Abstract

A method and apparatus for transmitting a signal to a remote location. The method splits the signal into a multitude of signals that are transmitted down cables. The split signals are collected into a single signal at the receiving end at the remote location. An apparatus for splitting the signals and collecting the split signals is illustrated.

Claims (27)

1. A system for linking a wide bandwidth digital signal producing device to a peripheral device comprising:

a first connection means for connecting the output of said wide bandwidth digital signal producing device to a first wide bandwidth digital signal cable;

a first converter for separating the wide bandwidth digital signal input into a plurality of outputs without altering the signal content;

a plurality of cables each having one end connected to each of said outputs of said first converter;

a second converter for recombining the signal received from the other end of each of said cables into a wide bandwidth digital signal output connected with a second connecting means; and

a second wide bandwidth digital signal cable for connecting the output of said second converter to a peripheral device.

2. A system for linking a wide bandwidth digital signal producing device to a peripheral device as in claim 1 , further comprising on the second converter at least one more connection means for connecting said cable to said peripheral device.

3. A system for linking a wide bandwidth digital signal producing device to a peripheral device as in claim 1 , further comprising an operational amplifier connecting said first converter to said cables.

4. A system for linking a wide bandwidth digital signal producing device to a peripheral device as in claim 1 , wherein said plurality of cables are each comprised of a plurality of twisted pairs.

5. A system for linking a wide bandwidth digital signal producing device to a peripheral device as in claim 4 , wherein there are four pairs in each of said plurality of cables.

6. A system for linking a wide bandwidth digital signal producing device to a peripheral device as in claim 4 , wherein there are three of such twisted pair cables.

7. A system for linking a wide bandwidth digital signal producing device to a peripheral device as in claim 4 , wherein there are three of such twisted pair cables and they are category 5 cables.

8. A system for linking a wide bandwidth digital signal producing device to a peripheral device comprising:

a first connection means for connecting the output of said wide bandwidth digital signal producing device to a first wide bandwidth digital signal cable;

a first converter for separating the wide bandwidth digital signal received from the first digital signal cable into a plurality of outputs without altering the signal content;

a plurality of cables each having one end connected to each of said outputs of said first converter;

a second converter for recombining the signal received from the other end of each of said plurality of cables into a wide bandwidth digital signal output connected with two or more connecting means; and

a plurality of wide bandwidth digital signal cables for connecting the output of said second converter two or more connecting means to one or more peripheral device.

9. A system for linking a wide bandwidth digital signal producing device to a peripheral device as in claim 8 , further comprising an operational amplifier connecting said first converter to said plurality of cables.

10. A system for linking a wide bandwidth digital signal producing device to a peripheral device as in claim 8 , wherein said plurality of cables are each comprised of a plurality of twisted pairs.

11. A system for linking a wide bandwidth digital signal producing device to a peripheral device comprising:

a first connection means for connecting the output of said wide bandwidth digital signal producing device to a first wide bandwidth digital signal cable;

a first converter for separating the wide bandwidth digital signal received from the first digital signal cable into a plurality of outputs without altering the signal content;

a plurality of twisted pair cables each having one end connected to each of said outputs of said first converter;

a second converter for recombining the signal received from the other end of each of said twisted pair cables into a wide bandwidth digital signal output connected with two or more connecting means; and

a plurality of wide bandwidth digital signal cables for connecting the output of said second converter two or more connecting means to one or more peripheral device.

12. A system for linking a wide bandwidth digital signal producing device to a peripheral device as in claim 11 , further comprising an operational amplifier connecting said first converter to said plurality of twisted pair cables.
