Structured Cabling History First the IEEE designs an application. (in collaboration with the TIA and ISO) Then the TIA and ISO can offer a cabling system for it. Not the opposite!

Performance Standards Today 10G over Fiber CAUTION!!! Ports for Multimode fiber are much less costly than for Singlemode Multimode fiber should always be preferred, when possible. Prices taken from internet website in April 2014

Performance Standards Today 10G over Copper IEEE 802.3an recognizes 10Gbase-T on: Category / Class Channel (m) Comments TIA: Cat 6a 100 Most widely accepted solution in both ISO: Class E A UTP and shielded versions. ISO Class F 100 Non-RJ45 connectors. TIA Cat 6 UTP ISO Class E TIA Cat6 ScTP ISO Class E ScTP 33 to 55m Subject to additional testing : in-channel IEEE 802.3an, and TIA TSB 155. 100m Subject to additional testing : in-channel IEEE 802.3an, inspection of bonding. Note: Mitigation techniques for 10G on installed Cat.6. Found in TSB-155-A

Performance Standards Today 10G over Copper CAUTION!!! Cat6 / Class E is not designed for 10G. It can only be tested after installation. TIA Cat6a ISO Cat6 A A Class F (Cat.7) channel to the active equipment does not currently exist.

40G over Copper Does NOT exist yet Future Solutions So the following solutions do NOT accept 40G: Category 6 A Category 7 Category 7 A

Future 40G Base-T Future Solutions IEEE NG Base-T study group formed and is studying 40Gbase-T at 2GHz TIA/EIA TR42.7 has started working on a specification of a future Category 8 solution ISO PDTF 11801-99-1 study group is evaluating options for Class I and Class II.

Future 40G Base-T Future Solutions The TIA/EIA Category 8: First sample F/UTP system proved functional. Most solutions will be F/UTP, but U/UTP is possible if and when the technology allows it. Most likely the usual 8P8C (RJ45) connector. 2-connector channel only! Permanent link 24m only!!! Patch cords 4 to 8m depending on resistance.

Future 40G Base-T Future Solutions The ISO Class I: Based on Category 8.1 components. This is equivalent to TIA Category 8. The ISO Class II The ISO Class II: Based on Category 8.2 components. S/FTP cable similar to Categoy7 A, but improved to 2GHz. Non-RJ45 connectors similar to those from Category 7 A. Providing improved performance

Agenda 1- Current standards and their structures 2- Origin of structured cabling 3- Performance standards today 4- Future solutions 5- Conclusion

Standards Evolve Conclusion As technology advances, the standards change to adapt. This is always a work in progress. Choosing the right cabling system must include an analysis of the current and future needs. But it is the application that determines the cabling, not the opposite.
