1 High Speed Cabling for 10 Gigabit Ethernet

2 State of the Art Three Decades with Ethernet The Ethernet Protocol continues its successful dominance of the communication industry. Back in the mid 70s, everything started with a concept created by Robert M. Metcalfe which was presented to the National Computer Conference in June Since its first edition (originally planned for 1 MBps) Ethernet has been continuously developed further for faster and faster speeds. In 1983 the IEEE released its first standard, which defined 10 MBps data communications over a coaxial cable. In less than a decade, this standard was extended to Twisted Pair and Fiber Optic systems. From then on, the data rates have risen with quantum leaps: for every 3 years the speed has increased tenfold, eventually providing us with 10 Gigabit/s over Fiber at the beginning of this millennium. Having always standardized on both media in the past, the IEEE did not hesitate to realize the same for Copper and after 4 years of work, the impossible has become reality. By 2006, in time for its 30th anniversary, Ethernet was transmitting data signals times faster than when it started. In and even 100 Gigabit Ethernet are knocking at the door. What else can we expect to come...? The way of IEEE There is No Substitute for Bandwidth

3 Lifetime Planning for the future With a multitude of network infrastructure design choices available today, IT managers are constantly faced with the challenge of how to optimize their data communication requirements. As well as traditional data transfer functions, new IP reliant applications such as VoIP, video streaming, live feeds and surveillance systems for the office and data center are continuously emerging. Consequently, faster and more reliable infrastructures are required to ensure that business critical applications are future proofed and return on investment optimized. Applications such as Gigabit Ethernet have only recently been considered as high speed services, but there is rapid growth in their deployment. With such speeds serving the work area, even higher bandwidths are required in the backbone and between central servers, and a reduction in latency is fast becoming a key strategy. Lifetime of Network Equipment With the constant growth of processor power inside workstations, the demand for faster communication throughout the premises increases year by year. Considering that the physical layer of your network the cabling itself has an average lifetime of 12 to 15 years, it must be capable of serving about 3 generations of switching equipment, 4 generations of PC hardware and probably even 5 generations of software! Thus, planning for a fast and future proof communication network starts with the investment of a strong cabling system... Even though cabling infrastructure might not seem like rocket science to enjoy rocket speed on your data highway, some smart engineering is necessary Become Future Proof 1

4 Application Planning Bandwidth demand With the constant growth of applications being conducted over the cabling infrastructure of IP networks, the need for bandwidth is escalating quickly. The drivers for higher speeds are increasing by 50% every year, growing rapidly with the introduction of new technologies. Today the cabling infrastructure carries not only PC data but also applications like IP telephony, video conferencing, HDTV, entertainment, building automation or industrial ethernet. The AMP NETCONNECT XG System provides you with the reassurance that your data network is ready to meet the future. All industry experts recommend the installation of new cabling infrastructures that last for at least 10 years. This means that you must plan for at least 3 new technologies which are currently not conducted over your network. 2 We Enable You to Meet the Future

5 Scaling your network Ethernet Evolution Don t forget the backbone. As the need for bandwidth increases in the user area, the backbone which connects the users to servers and outside services must be scaled accordingly, so we recommend that you scale this backbone infrastructure according to the need ROI This is our premium cabling infrastructure, but it s far from the most expensive. When taking into consideration the lifetime of the cabling system and the applications that it must support, it is much cheaper to install a cabling infrastructure that will last for many years to come. When dividing the complete cost over the lifetime of the cabling, you will find that this is actually the cheapest solution for your future needs. Protect Your Investment 3

6 XG Cat. 6 A and Cat. 7 A Solutions XG Shielded Twisted Pair (Cat. 6 A, Cat. 7 A ) Utilizing Tyco Electronics well-proven XG shielded system technology for application support up to 10GBase-T (IEEE 802.3an), noise sources such as Alien Crosstalk and Background Noise are minimized while all necessary EMC requirements are fulfilled. Potentially, these systems can provide support for future applications of up to 24 Gigabit/s without requiring additional noise barriers. AMP CO Plus System AMP-TWIST-6S SL Jack 22 STP Cat. 6A Cables 22 UTP Cat. 6A Cables A UTP Cat. 6A 10 Gb/s system requires 60% more space in cabling systems than a comparable STP system. AMP-TWIST-6S Patch Panels Revolutionary Termination With 60 years of experience in the development of connectors and tooling, Tyco Electronics has perfected the technique of terminating cabling connectivity. This industry leading termination process shortens termination time, enabling you to deploy your new infrastructure quicker than with any other comparable solution. The Automatic Wire Cutting (AWC) technology, coupled with our professional tooling, creates reliable, consistently high performance terminations and keeps the cost of installation to its absolute minimum. In addition to repeatable fast termination, the XG Shielded Copper system for 10GBase-T also has the benefit of requiring less space in cabling pathways and cabinets, while providing better background noise mitigation, making it an excellent choice for high speed application support. 4 Shielded Solutions = No Limits

7 The EMC Challenges Background Noise Cabling standards throughout the world have adopted the MICE (Mechanical, Ingress, Climatic, and Electromagnetic) classifications for office and industrial environments. According to EN :2007 an electromagnetic classification of "E3, which normally describes a heavy industrial environment, is applicable: If your premises are within a radius of 1 km from a TV, radio or mobile base station When you are using DECT phones within your premises When you are using wireless data (WiFi) equipment Generally Background Noise is the sum of all the electromagnetic fields of adjacent devices. Immunity against Background Noise can be achieved by either shielded cabling or a fully enclosed pathway. Either requires proper earthing and bonding practices. 10 Gigabit Ethernet over Twisted Pair: The Challenges AlienNEXT Background Noise UTP solution: 37 m channel 0 db margin STP solution: 100 m channel 20 db margin To ensure flawless 10Gb/s data transfer, the IEEE standard limits the Background Noise level at the device to a max of 150 dbm/hz, which in most buildings is compromised by wireless devices such as cellular phones, WiFi and aerial video transmissions. The ability to mitigate these noise signals enables you to ensure flawless transmission of your High Definition Video Conferencing equipment, and removes any signal influenced disturbance on your IP telephone system. As we become more reliant on the timely delivery of signals, it is recommended that you fully protect your systems. Background Noise Mitigation Shielded EMC Performance 5

8 10 Gigabit Fiber Solutions XG Fiber Optic (OM3 and OM4) XG OM3 is a standardized system for running applications including 10GBase-SR/SW; combining the Tyco Electronics controlled end-face connector technology with the maximum connectivity options, thus ensuring that an extremely high level of design flexibility is achieved. This allows users to create a highly flexible patching scheme throughout the premises infrastructure, while the controlled end-face technology ensures enhanced data transmission parameters such as attenuation, return loss and link stability. By using OM4 systems these enhancements almost double the maximum length compared to standard OM3 fiber systems. AMP NETCONNECT offers 3 different termination technologies for OM4: System Characteristics Singlemode and multimode Controlled end-faces 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 550 m on MM fibers 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to m on SM fibers SM solutions capable for 100 Gigabit or more Pre-polished Connectors LightCrimp Plus Conventional Fusion Splice Pre-terminated Systems MPO System SC Splice tray module 12 x LC Duplex breakout cassette LC SC Pigtail Trunk cable 6 Extended Length and Bandwidth

9 Optimized Physical Contacts Why is a controlled end-face important? Enhanced services such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet require a high quality cabling system. Fiber optic connectors specified in cabling standards such as ISO/IEC are required to meet minimum optical and environmental specifications, but these do not necessarily ensure optimum performance. With an AMP NETCONNECT controlled end-face you will always achieve the physical connectivity requirements that are necessary for excellent performance. These physical dimensional requirements are directly related to the end-face characteristics of a polished ferrule, namely its Radius, Dome Offset and Fiber Position. If these ferrule characteristics are optimal an Optimized Physical Contact (OPC) between the two connectors is assured. This will enhance data transmission parameters like Optical Performance, Attenuation, Return Loss and Data Link Stability. As a result of OPC a stable physical contact between the end-faces is achieved every time. This provides a very low Insertion Loss as well as a high Return Loss in order to run high speed applications like 10 Gigabit Ethernet. AMP NETCONNECT ensures a controlled end-face for all OM3 assemblies and field installable products.
