SYSTIMAX GigaSPEED X10D Complies with IEEE 10GBASE-T Standard

SYSTIMAX Solutions has claimed that its GigaSPEED X10D 10 Gb/s UTP copper cabling solution exceeds the requirements of the Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers (IEEE) 10GBASE-T standard. The company said launched in 2004 December it was fully compliant with the just ratified IEEE 802.3 an 10GBASE-T standards developed by the IEEE – a full 18 months in advance.

The ratified IEEE 802.3an 10GBASE-T standard specifies 10 Gb/s data transmission over four-pair copper cabling. The maximum supported distance in the standard is a function of the cabling performance. The distance capability is limited by key performance parameters not characterised in the past, including alien crosstalk (PSANEXT and PSAELFEXT) as well as stable performance of traditional parameters to higher frequencies.

The SYSTIMAX GigaSPEED X10D Solution meets the 10GBASE-T specifications over the maximum supported channel length, namely, 100 meters.

Features of the GigaSPEED X10D Solution include a new cable design developed using patent-pending technology that is based on a traditional round shape. Coupled with this is new patent-pending connector technology that follows similar termination as the previous generations.
