October 3, 2005—According to recent lab testing, all three of Siemon’s 10G ip copper cabling solutions have passed Anixter’s rigorous 10GBASE-T requirements, says Siemon, which specializes in the manufacture and innovation of high-performance network cabling solutions.
Consisting of Siemon’s 10G 6A UTP, 10G 6A F/UTP and Category 7/Class F TERA products, the 10G ip family complies to all Anixter 10GBASE-T performance parameters, including strict alien crosstalk limits.
With three fully compliant 10Gb/s capable copper cabling option, Siemon 10G is a comprehensive suite of solutions that gives enterprises the freedom to choose the cabling infrastructure that best supports their specific needs. Beyond 10Gb/s throughput alone, it addresses such factors as infrastructure security, pathway space, cable management, initial cost, life cycle cost, noise immunity, and global market preferences, says Siemon.
The IEEE 802.3an standard outlining 10 Gigabit transmission over copper cabling is scheduled to publish in July 2006. It is anticipated that 10GBASE-T equipment will reach greater affordability and is expected to settle at about 1/3 the current cost of a 10G fiber port by 2008, further driving the projected adoption of 10Gb/s copper.
A preview of these 10Gb/s projections is already underway. For more information, visit the Siemon Web site.
