TSB-155

Title:

Guidelines for the Assessment and Mitigation of CAT6 cabling to support 10GBase-T

INSTALLED Scope:

• Characterizes performance testing of installed base of Cat-6 to support 10GBASE-T.

• New Alien crosstalk requirements • Some parameters are less stringent than CAT6a (NEXT, IL) • Recommended practices for installation changes if testing is not in compliance. • Proposed lengths: – Between 37 & 55 meter channel, depending on alien crosstalk environment – Over 55 meters may require mitigation

Publication Date:

• December 1, 2007 TSB-155 was approved for publication • Estimated Release: Q1 2007 14

TSB-155 Recommended Mitigation Techniques

• Separation of patch cords • Unbundling of horizontal cables • Use Shielded or CAT6a patch cords • Reconfigure cross-connect as inter connect • Replace CAT6 connectors with CAT6a connectors • Replace CAT6 horizontal cable with CAT6a cable 15

TIA/EIA-568-B.2-10 (10GBASE-T)

Title:

Transmission Performance Specifications for 4-pair 100 Ω Augmented Category 6 (Cat-6a) Cabling

Scope:

• New cabling classification designed to support high speed applications, such as 10GBase-T, over 100 meter channels • Requirements are for 4-pair 100 Ω CAT6a cabling, cables, cords and connecting hardware up to 500 MHz • Several new alien crosstalk parameters introduced

Publication Date:

• Currently at Draft 6.0, Dec., 2006 • Estimated publication: Q1 2008 16

TIA/EIA-568-B.2-10

• What About Alien Crosstalk?

17

Alien Crosstalk

Wassabi?

Not this kind!

18

Crosstalk Review (NEXT, FEXT, etc…) • In the past, crosstalk was concentrated within single cable jacket. • IEEE and TIA worked together to solve this problem.

– Solved with cable/jack design and electronics.

– Electronics can equalize signal.

• This is PSNEXT… 19

Alien Crosstalk (AXT)

• The Challenges: Alien Crosstalk (AXT) – Need to account for crosstalk from cable to cable.

– No possible way to equalize 7 signals.

• The higher frequencies and HIGH power required for 10G have introduced a new problem.

• Each component design alone must solve this, no electronic solution.

– AXT can occur in the cable, connector, patch panel and patch cord. – Component ratings will be critical!!!

20

Installation Issues

• Cable Installation Guidelines – Bend Radius – Conduits Fills • Installation of the Jacks – Is it the same as Cat-6?

– Follow the installation instructions • Cable and Patch Cord Management – Management is key!
