Bits Per Second

The following are common data rates used in serial communications such as RS232/RS485:
60, 75, 110, 150, 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, 921600
Some of the original PCs used a 8250 UART (universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter) IC along with a 1.8432MHz crystal which was divided down:
1.8432MHz divided by 16 equals 115200
1.8432MHz divided by 48 equals 38400
1.8432MHz divided by 192 equals 9600

Wire Gauges

12 AWG, area 3.31 mm2, 14 amps
16 AWG, area 1.31 mm2, 7 amps, 19/0.3
18 AWG, area 0.823 mm2, 5 amps, 24/0.2
22 AWG, area 0.326 mm2, 2 amps, 7/0.25
24 AWG, area 0.205 mm2, 1.5 amps, 7/0.2
30 AWG, area 0.051 mm2, 0.3 amps, 7/0.1
The above current carrying figures are very approximate, and are based on a copper 7 to 24 strand wire. Please always check with the wire manufacturers technical specifications.
7/0.2 wire consists of 7 strands of 0.2 mm diameter wire, total area 0.22 mm2, close to 24 AWG.

dBm / Watts / Voltage

Below is a table comparing dBm to Watts and the voltage into a 50 Ohm load:

50 dBm 100 W 200 Vpp
40 dBm 10 W 63.246 Vpp
30 dBm 1 W 20 Vpp
20 dBm 100 mW 6.3246 Vpp
10 dBm 10 mW 2 Vpp
0 dBm 1 mW 632.46 mVpp
-10 dBm 0.1 mW 200 mVpp
-20 dBm 0.01 mW 63.246 mVpp
-30 dBm 0.001 mW 20 mVpp
-40 dBm 0.0001 mW 6.3246 mVpp
-50 dBm 0.00001 mW 2 mVpp
