Cabling guidelines in support of 10 GBASE-T

Publication date:   Apr 30, 2008

Scope

This Technical Report
a) specifies the transmission performance for channels to support 10 GBASE-T as specified in IEEE 802.3an,
b) specifies the methods to assess whether installed Class E and Class F channels meet IEEE 802.3an requirements,
c) provides mitigation techniques to improve the performance of an existing installation to meet the IEEE 802.3an requirements.
NOTE 1 The channel transmission performance specified in this TR is derived from IEEE 802.3an.
NOTE 2 IEEE 802.3an specifies requirements beyond the frequency range specified for EN 50173 1:2007, Class E, and additional parameters to those specified for Class E and Class F cabling in EN 50173-1:2007.
NOTE 3 This Technical Report does not re-specify the requirements for Class E and Class F channels of EN 50173-1:2007.
