A movable or removable tab, label, or other device, the presence or absence of which on the casing of a recording medium prevents writing on the medium. Note: An example of a yywrite-protect tab is the sliding tab on a 3½-inch (8. 85-cm) magnetic diskette of the type used in conjunction with desktop computers.

Industry:Telecommunications
A movable, visible mark used to indicate a position of interest on a display surface. Note: A cursor may have a controllable shape, such as an underline, a rectangle, or a pointer and usually indicates where the next character or graphic will be entered or revised.
Industry:Telecommunications
A multichannel telecommunications system in which a number of individual circuits (data, voice, or combination thereof) are multiplexed for transmission between nodes of a network. Note 1: In carrier systems, many different forms of multiplexing may be used, such as time-division multiplexing and frequency-division multiplexing. Note 2: Multiple layers of multiplexing may ultimately be performed upon a given input signal; i.e., the output resulting from one stage of modulation may in turn be modulated. Note 3: At a given node, specified channels, groups, supergroups, etc. , may be demultiplexed without demultiplexing the others. Synonym carrier.
Industry:Telecommunications
A multifiber fiber-optic cable design in which individual fibers, usually tight-buffered, are surrounded by separate strength members and jackets, which are in turn enveloped by a common jacket. Note 1: The breakout cable facilitates easy installation of fiber-optic connectors. All that need be done to prepare the ends of the cable to receive connectors is to remove the outer jacket, exposing what are essentially individual single-fiber cables. Note 2: Because it tends to induce bends in the fibers, the breakout cable design usually results in slightly higher transmission losses, for a given fiber, than loose-buffer designs. Synonym fanout cable.
Industry:Telecommunications
A multifrequency (MF) and dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) signal timing interval that is equal to the sum of the fall time, signal-off time, and rise time. The interdigit interval starts when the MF or DTMF signal duration ends. The interdigit interval ends when the next MF or DTMF signal duration begins.
Industry:Telecommunications
A multifrequency (MF) or dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) signal timing interval during which the signal is being transmitted. For MF signals the signal duration interval begins when the last tone of the MF tone pair exceeds 90% of its steady-state value and ends when either tone of the MF tone pair falls below 90% of its respective steady-state value. For DTMF signals the signal duration interval begins when either tone of the DTMF signal is within 1 dB of its eventual steady-state value and ends when either tone falls 1 dB below its steady-state value.
Industry:Telecommunications
A multilevel, cyclic, error-correcting, variable-length digital code used to correct errors up to approximately 25% of the total number of digits. Note: BCH codes are not limited to binary codes, but may be used with multilevel phase-shift keying whenever the number of levels is a prime number or a power of a prime number, such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, and 13. A BCH code in 11 levels has been used to represent the 10 decimal digits plus a sign digit.
Industry:Telecommunications
A multiplex carrier set specifically designed for the purpose of carrying orderwire traffic, as opposed to one designed for carrying mission traffic.
