10G copper solution passes 10GBase-T performance tests
24 January 2007
Interconnection
Systimax Solutions has confirmed that its Systimax GigaSpeed X10D Solution performed to its specifications in full-day certification test demonstrations of 10GBase-T technology on 100 metre links held at Solarflare's labs in Irvine, California. The ability to use high-performance Ethernet connections for copper cabling is expected to lower the cost of 10 Gbps networking, making it more accessible to data centres and enterprises.
The recently-published IEEE 802.3an-2006 Standard for 10GBase-T requires all 10GBase-T physical layer chips to reach 100 metres on Category 6A cabling. The California-based tests were conducted using Solarflare's 10GBase-T physical layer (PHY) evaluation boards and a 100-metre Systimax GigaSpeed X10D UTP channel in a worst-case, full-reach, 4-connector channel configuration (as specified by TIA).
Systimax Solutions believes it was the first vendor to provide a full 100-metre UTP solution that guarantees compliance with the ratified IEEE 802.3an standards for 10GBase-T and the new Category 6A/Class EA cabling standards.
