10G network development: what can adapt to its wiring system

The discussion of the forthcoming 10 Gigabit copper Ethernet 10GBase-T solution will have a significant impact on the development of current and future cabling systems.
Standardization of 10-Gigabit copper Ethernet 10GBase-T is in progress. Many users want the performance of their cabling systems to support future development. For them, it is of great significance to support Ethernet 10GBase-T standard for 10 Gigabit copper cables.

The main driving force behind the development of this technology is the cost, and the actual application needs to reduce the cost. 10 Gigabit copper Ethernet 10GBase-T technology standards aim to achieve 10 times the performance at 3 times the cost, measured by the most advanced Ethernet technology currently in use, measured by the Gigabit Ethernet technology, the cost is three times, and the performance is 10 times ). For a wide range of implementations of 10-ge Ethernet, the use of fiber-optic transmission solutions has proved to be too expensive, so copper solutions have been developed.

Someone may ask: Who needs it? What happened to a Gigabit Ethernet or 1.2 Gigabit ATM system running on a 6-class cabling system?

Indeed, only some organizations that need to use data center IDS will consider 10 Gbps copper Ethernet 10GBase-T over the next 5 to 10 years, however, let's take a look at the situation of Gigabit Ethernet in over five types of cabling systems, and think about people's views on such applications two to three years ago. You will have a new understanding of the development of things.

According to the general market concept, if we install all six types of cabling, the device manufacturer will develop a BASE-TX Gigabit Ethernet device that runs on six types of cabling systems cheaply, because category-6 Cabling systems provide higher bandwidth than category-5 cabling systems, there is no need for an expensive interference filtering device DSP on network devices ). Therefore, the development of Ethernet to 10 Gigabit 10GBase-T will surely become a reality. The reason is that we have found a larger device demand than 1000Base-Tx, which is cheaper.

In fact, more data transmission leads to a greater demand for bandwidth. Previously, this will happen in the future. Therefore, the cabling industry will be relocated to a higher target.

According to the results of various information, the current six types of systems have limited support for new applications. Basically, the standard six types of systems can meet the needs of all applications with over five types of systems, the support for new applications requires 6 or 7 new systems.

In fact, if you have an understanding of the work of the 10GBase-T Standard Workgroup for 10 Gigabit copper Ethernet, you will find that their announced cabling system support goals are as follows:

1, 4 connector twisted pair copper cable system Channel

2. 100 m length, Class F, Class 7) cabling channels

3, 55 m length, Class E, Class 6) cabling channels

4. 100 m length New Class 6 class E channel) not yet determined)

To put it simply, seven types of cabling systems support 10 gbase-t over a 100-meter channel, while six non-shielded cabling systems may support 10G Ethernet over 55-meter channels.
