PANDUIT TX6 10GIG SHIELDED COPPER CABLING SYSTEM Innovative Connectivity Solution for Maximum Performance and Security10 Gigabit Ethernet over Copper 10GBASE-T Compliant Outlet Forecast With ever increasing bandwidth requirements, advancements Source: BSRIA, June 2006 40 in active equipment, and the ratified IEEE Standard, the 35 market demand for 10 Gigabit Ethernet data transmission is 30 rapidly growing. Initially designed for network backbones, 25 10 Gigabit Ethernet is now moving into the data center and will soon be required for high-end workstations and 20 multimedia users. 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper cabling 15 is quickly becoming a trusted solution to fill the need for 10 cost-effective, high capacity data transmission. 5 0 High-end data connections into a building will likely 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 remain fiber. However, fiber or copper can be the medium Now that the 10GBASE-T standard has been ratified, the market for switch-to-switch, switch-to-server, and links to equipment for compliant cabling is expected to rapidly increase. closets, zone boxes, and high-end workstations up to 100m for 10 Gigabits/sec applications. PANDUIT has solutions to support both fiber and copper 10 Gigabit Ethernet cabling systems. When utilizing copper, the PANDUIT TX6 10GIG 10GBASE-T Requires New Technology Shielded Copper Cabling System provides a cost effective 10 Gigabits/sec to 100m over copper twisted pair is media with exceptional performance margin to support a significant technical accomplishment and requires a expanding network needs. Category 6A cabling system, along with new electronics utilizing advanced signaling technology. Equipment Room Two critical factors enable 10 Gigabits/sec performance but Copper were not incorporated into the design of Category 6 cabling systems. They now are required for Category 6A systems. 1 GbE 1.) Electrical performance specified to 500 MHz BASE (Category 6 is specified to 250 MHz) 2.)
