The prospect and application of 10G UTP wiring

Since the first twisted pair technology has been developed in Bell Labs, the UTP Copper cable has been widely used as a cost-effective transmission medium. With the development of bandwidth application, the transmission technology based on UTP is changing rapidly. Back to the 10, we will find that 1996 years 5 types of wiring is the mainstream of the market; After about 5 years, over five kinds of wiring will network performance to a higher peak, but also directly led to the end of the 5-class wiring era. In recent years, six types of wiring to make the network to achieve a robust and reliable gigabit than transmission performance, and thus become the dominant market. People marvel at the advent of high bandwidth applications, but also look forward to faster, more easily upgraded with excellent cost-effective cabling solutions. The call of the market continues to promote the development of technology, now, Ieee802.3an 10GBASE-T Standard will be million Gigabit copper cabling era formally pushed to people.

The issued 10GBASE-T standard contains transmission requirements and other indicators, which have a certain amount of trouble with the selection of cables. Because the transmission requirements in the 10GBASE-T standard exceed the Cat6/classe requirements, 10GBASE-T can only support extremely limited distances on Cat6/classe cables. The Cabling Standards Organization is developing more detailed rules for copper cables that support 10G Ethernet, including reducing crosstalk in adjacent channels and improving high-frequency performance. On the six-class line, the maximum distance to support 10G Ethernet is 37 meters, and of course, the means of eliminating interference are needed. To break away from the limits of distance, wiring standards organizations hope to be able to establish a new wiring standard cat6a/classea to ensure that the transmission distance can reach 100 meters.

Industry analysts predict that the 5-10-year GB/s network will be the focus of network equipment providers. Previously, the development of 10G markets had been suppressed by the lack of standard support. Now, with the promulgation of IEEE 802.3an 10GBASE-T Standard, enterprises will also have great confidence from the original Super Five class, six class era transition to the new Cat6a/classea wiring era.

The Systimax gigaspeed x10d solution has been used by many upfront users since it was launched in 2004. The promulgation of IEEE standards should testify to their insights ―gigaspeed x10d solutions fully meet and exceed the channel targets set by the standards, and they will benefit from them.

Systimaxreg, senior vice president of the Solutions Technology Research Center LUC Adriaenssens said: "I have never doubted the wide implementation of 10G to desktop applications, as bandwidth requirements continue to grow, and the price of network equipment is falling." This day may not be tomorrow, but it must be within the lifetime of your network infrastructure. End users need to focus on a variety of wiring standards, and according to different levels of application to differentiate. The supplier will claim to "Meet the standards", but the user must get to the bottom-which is the standard. Our proposal is very simple, reference to ISO/IEC Class EA Standard, it is more stringent than other standards, meet this standard means to fully meet all standards. ”

The Gigaspeed x10d Cabling System is designed for 10GBASE-T applications, but is also forward compatible. For Gigaspeed x10d Solutions, performance metrics that support 10G transmission are critical alien Crosstalk refers to the guaranteed value of full channel (not just cable) full band (1-500mhz), and through "6 Pack 1" tests that represent the "most stringent" installation configuration conditions. Systimax Lab utilizes unique design tools, Gigaspeed x10d solutions can minimize the external crosstalk of adjacent channels without affecting the internal transmission performance of the channel. Outstanding Alien Crosstalk Performance, insertion loss performance, and up to 500MHz channel assurance values are key factors that differentiate Gigaspeed x10d solutions from other copper solutions.

10G connectivity has been applied in industries with special bandwidth requirements, but the current price of 10G network cards has become a major impediment to 10G popularity. The market needs lower prices, a wider range of cat6a/classea copper systems, and more 10gbase-t-based networking devices to support the growth of 10G connections and gain more bandwidth capacity.

As we all know, UTP copper cabling can often provide a more economical cost than optical fiber for 10gbase-t channels. Electronic devices used for 10GBASE-T are more complex than electronic devices used by 1000BASE-T, but they should be much cheaper than electronic devices 10gb/s fibre-optic connections.

This cost savings are particularly attractive to data centers where many servers and converters are connected, and the SANS (storage area network) with copper cables is also a cost advantage. The total cost of the backbone application system can also be significantly reduced when using new UTP cabling to replace the fiber for applications with a 10gb/s connection of up to 100 meters or less.

The industry generally acknowledges that performance for servers today will soon be on desktop applications. Thus, although 10gbase-t's initial goal was data centers and backbone networks, a leading-minded customer realized that the advantage of using 10GB/S UTP Cabling would extend to the desktop.

We believe that upgrades to 10GB/S connections will ensure user productivity and are not affected by waiting for file transfers with complex files, high-resolution images, and video presentation files. In addition, faster connectivity will dramatically improve the quality of instant sound and video in IP telephony, Web conferencing, and distance learning.

High-speed connections to the desktop help develop new technologies, such as grid computing. This is the latest key technology to connect a large number of standard PCs to use their idle processing power to achieve advanced computer computing functions. However, the potential for full implementation of the PC grid in simulation, complex modeling and analysis requires a high speed interconnection between PCs.

With the promulgation of Ieee802.3an 10GBASE-T Standard, 10G UTP cabling technology has gone down the pulpit, and is being considered and enabled by more and more enterprises. Europe, which does not say that technology is more mature, is where many customers have already started building or are considering building 10G UTP networks. Recently, the XX Municipal Labor Bureau formally signed an agreement, ready to be its new office building more than 2000 information points all use x10d wiring system. We believe that 10G UTP wiring becomes the preferred day of the enterprise should not be far off.
