Abstract
The Chandra discovery of bright X-ray emission from kpc-scale jets provides us unprecedented insights into the physical state of the plasma in the flow. In particular it is possible to get good constraints on the power and pressure in bright knots. For a group of selected sources with blazar-type cores it is also possible to constrain the physical quantities of the jet at sub-pc scale. We discuss how these results can help us to connect the properties of the jet at different scales.
