Recently the IEEE P802.3bq Task Force was formed to create a standard for 40-gigabit Ethernet over copper twisted-pair cabling (40GBASE-T). This is the next generation following 10-gigabit Ethernet ...
Swiss cabling specialist Reichle & De-Massari has launched the world’s thinnest Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) copper trunk cable. The new ThinCompact Cat.6A cable shaves almost 70 percent off the bulk ...
Moving vast amounts of data between two points quickly, reliably and economically is what many designers are facing regularly when building their systems. When it comes to using copper cables as a ...
Telecom equipment maker Ericsson says the unthinkable is now the possible: 500Mbps transmission speeds over ordinary copper wiring. Looking at the details, though, it’s not clear that the news will ...
One's easier to work with than the other ...
Networks are becoming increasingly important, and not only in IT environments, but also production and post production. But they are only as good as the cables that connect them. Sommer Cable is one ...
DSL isn't dead—in fact, I'm using it right now—but there's plenty of talk about the state of its health, much of it grim. As cable and fiber-to-the-home connections gain subscribers and speed, the ...
The IEEE in June approved the publication of the 802.3an-2006 standard, otherwise known as 10GBase-T. This document describes a physical layer (PHY) transmission device for 10Gbps Ethernet over ...
Britain's copper cables won't be able to support demand for faster and faster broadband in future, a new study warns. In experiments, researchers have found that the UK's existing copper network ...
