`
`cable I. (n.) All types of wires and cords
`used to transmit signals or connect
`equipment. Cables may contain single or

`cial crrcwt board to existing·coaxial cable
`provided by a cable TV network and
`acc~ss digital services inserted into the
`~ertical blanking interval of a television
`signal. Each interval is able to carry the
`amount of data approximately equivalent
`to a 9600 baud modem. Transmission is
`one:way fr~m the cable provider and is
`not mteract1ve unl

`may be manipulated on screen and
`evaluated. CAM applications extrapolate
`manufacturing specifications from the
`CAD designs and may control manufac(cid:173)
