TIGHT-BUFFERED CABLE


  With tight-buffered cable designs, the buffering material is in direct contact with the fiber. This design is suited for "jumper cables" which connect outside plant cables to terminal equipment, and also for linking various devices in a premises network. Multi-fiber, tight-buffered cables often are used for intra-building, risers, general building and plenum applications.

  The tight-buffered design provides a rugged cable structure to protect individual fibers during handling, routing and connectorization. Yarn strength members keep the tensile load away from the fiber.

  As with loose-tube cables, optical specifications for tight-buffered cables also should include the maximum performance of all fibers over the operating temperature range and life of the cable.

Multiwavelength optical networking

Multiwavelength optical networking (MONET), is a method for communicating digital information using lasers over optical fiber. The method provides the next level of communication networks after SONET optical networks. MONET optical networks provide an even greater bandwidth capacity.

This new method employs Wave division multiplexing (WDM) technology for transporting large amounts of telephone and data traffic and allow for interoperability between equipment from different vendors.

 First developed by the secretive National Security Agency as author James Bamford points out in his book, "Body of Secrets: Anatomy of the Ultra-Secret National Security Agency". It was also discussed at the 1996 Military Communications Conference.

The advantages of using fibre optics


  Because of the Low loss, high bandwidth properties of fiber cable they can be used over greater distances than copper cables, in data networks this can be as much as 2km without the use of repeaters. Their light weight and small size also make them ideal for applications where running copper cables would be impractical, and by using multiplexors one fibre could replace hundreds of copper cables.

  This is pretty impressive for a tiny glass filament, but the real benefits in the data industry are its immunity to Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI), and the fact that glass is not an electrical conductor. Because fibre is non-conductive, it can be used where electrical isolation is needed, for instance between buildings where copper cables would require cross bonding to eliminate differences in earth potentials. Fibres also pose no threat in dangerous environments such as chemical plants where a spark could trigger an explosion. Last but not least is the security aspect, it is very, very difficult to tap into a fibre cable to read the data signals.

First a bit history


  In 1870, John Tyndall demonstrated that light follows the curve of a stream of water pouring from a container, it was this simple principle that led to the study and development of applications for this phenomenon. John Logie Baird patented a method of transmitting light in a glass rod for use in an early colour TV, but the optical losses inherent in the materials at the time made it impractical to use.

  In the 1950's more research and development into the transmission of visible images through optical fibres led to some success in the medical world, as they began using them in remote illumination and viewing instruments. In 1966 Charles Kao and George Hockham proposed the transmission of information over glass fibre, and they also realised that to make it a practical proposition, much lower losses in the cables were essential. This was the driving force behind the developments to improve the optical losses in fibre manufacturing, and today optical losses are significantly lower than the original target set out by Charles Kao and George Hockham.

PTGi wraps Australian operations sale to M2


  Primus Telecommunications Group Inc. (NYSE:PTGI) has completed its $195.7 million sale of its Australian unit to M2 Telecommunications Group.

  With the deal complete, PTGi put about $9.8 million in an indemnification escrow in the event that there are indemnification claims by M2 following the closing.

  The service provider's board of directors is now considering how it will use the proceeds from the sale, including new capital investments, note repurchases or redemptions, special dividends and share repurchases.

  In addition to its Australian operations sale, the service provider's special committee is examining a number of options for the company, including a sale, merger, joint venture agreements, or the sale or spinoff of other PTGi business units. The timing of the deal was interesting because it happened after it established a wholesale agreement to offer services via Australia's National Broadband Network in January. This agreement would have enabled it to compete with incumbent Telstra.

  Meanwhile, Primus Canada has been divided up into two different organizations: a data center business and another serving residential and business customers.

SPD Arrest Man for Stealing $150K of Fiber Optic Cable


  The Sarasota Police Department said Officer Jason Frank was on patrol on May 7 when he observed a red Chevrolet van parked on the sidewalk in the 700 block of S. Tamiami Trail.

  Frank pulled up behind the suspicious vehicle and as he made contact with the driver, Manuel De Jesus Tena, 49, the officer observed that the driver was very nervous, according to a SPD release.

  SPD said Frank observed a large spool of black cable in the back of the van.  He also could see similar cable hanging from a telephone pole that appeared to have been cut. Frank asked Tena if he was ok, and why he was parked on the sidewalk.  According to SPD, Tena turned and pointed at the spool of cable and stated, I stole it, I was going to try to sell it.  I've been out of work for three years.Wire cutters were found in the pocket of Tena's shorts.

  Tena was arrested for Grand Theft.  The fiber optic cable is 24,624 feet long and is valued at $6.00 per-foot.  Total value in cable was in excess of $150,000; however the cable was recovered by the officers. Tena was charged with Grand Theft (in excess of $100,000) and Criminal Mischief (damage to property in excess of $1,000).

KC finds stronger-than-expected fibre broadband take-up


  East Yorkshire internet service provider (ISP) KC saw its revenues increase in the year to March 31st 2012, partially driven by the strong performance of its fibre optic broadband product.

  The company's turnover for the 12-month period stood at £103.6 million, up by 1.1 per cent on the pound 102.5 million it earned during the previous financial year.

  Explaining the result, KC said it benefited from increasing demand for higher bandwidth services from business customers and growth in the consumer market thanks to the continued migration of subscribers to bundled packages.

  In addition, the company was boosted by more customers upgrading to its home phone service KC Talk, while early indications suggest a higher-than-expected level of take-up for its fibre optic broadband service.

  The ISP is currently rolling out 100Mbps broadband throughout east Yorkshire and is looking to deliver the technology to 15,000 properties by the end of 2012.

  Last month, KC deployed its 100Mbps service to the market town of Driffield, allowing local residents to download a typical music album in just five seconds and a high-definition film in around seven minutes.

Security implications of software-defined networks



  With only a handful of very small software-defined networks actually in production around the world, most SDN conversations are purely academic. But that hasn't impeded the interest and announcements that seem to be on an accelerated pace in recent weeks and months (see sidebar below). Why the flurry of announcements? The reason is because of the enticing potential of SDNs.

  By separating the control plane from the data plane, which essentially removes and then centralizes the brains from the muscle of the network, you can quickly make changes to improve the speed, reliability, efficiency and even security of that network. You control the network's layout and flow, so you can define and distribute loads, optimize and prioritize traffic, and scale services or capacity up or down with just a few clicks, that is in theory. That's the key. Commercially available solutions that enable you to realize the potential of SDNs are simply not there yet. Assuming they are on their way, from vendors, such as IBM (NYSE: IBM), NEC, HP (NYSE: HPQ), Big Switch, Nicira, and still unknown/unannounced players, it's important to think through some of the security implications of this new architecture.

Premises Networks


  Premises networks, mostly computer LANs (local area networks) use fiber optics primarily in the backbone but increasingly to the desk and to connect wireless access points. The LAN backbone often needs longer distances than copper cable (Cat 5/5e/6/6A) can provide and of course, the fiber offers higher bandwidth for future expansion. Fiber's ability to handle network upgrades meant that one fiber type outlived nine generations of copper cables in LANs. A new fiber type (OM3) offers future potential for upgrades while copper continues to struggle with network speed increases.

  Until recently large corporate LANs use fiber backbones with copper wire to the desktop. LAN switches and hubs are usually available with fiber optic ports but PCs have interfaces to Ethernet on copper. Inexpensive media converters allow connecting PCs to fiber. Fiber to the desk can be cost effective if properly designed using centralized fiber architecture without local switching in the telecom closet, but many users no longer want to be tethered to a network cable. Desktop computer sales are declining and laptops are the PC of choice for most users, with wireless connections to the network. Generally only high data users like engineers and graphics designers use desktop workstations; everybody else gets a wireless-connected laptop.

Spirit Communications fans out EoC presence with Overture Networks


  Spirit Communications, a CLEC jointly owned by 11 South Carolina independent ILECs, is extending its Ethernet over Copper (EoC) in its North and South Carolina territories.

  Leveraging Overture Networks' EoC gear that it purchased from the former Hatteras Networks, the CLEC's Business Elite Ethernet service delivers SMBs 3-10 Mbps speeds.

  Having seen what it says is "notable growth throughout the Carolinas," the expansion of its EoC footprint complements the ongoing expansion of its fiber-based Metro Ethernet service for medium and large businesses, including the State of South Carolina.

  While it had a strong presence in the medium and large business market with its fiber-based Metro Ethernet solutions, EoC is proving to be a sound solution for the SMB market.

  "We have a very good multi-location customer base, but we hadn't really spend a lot of energy on that smaller business customer, and that's the primary focus of the EoC roll out," said Greg Guerra, Spirit executive vice president of Strategy, Product Management and Business Development, in an interview with FierceTelecom.

  After launching its Business Elite EoC voice and data bundle last year for SMBs, Guerra added it has seen continued demand for its voice and Internet bundles, including traditional PRI and IP-based SIP trunking.

  "We launched our Business Elite EoC service in roughly 10 markets in South Carolina, and that was met with much success so we really started to increase our volume at the low end of the market and so we have since doubled that footprint this year with Overture," he said.

  And while its main focus is on serving South Carolina, the CLEC is also expanding the service into North Carolina and Georgia.

Maturity of Metro Ethernet


  A comparison of MPLS-based Metro Ethernet against a pure Ethernet MAN: Scalability: In a properly designed Ethernet VLAN network, each switched path can have 4094 single tag VLANs. Some aggregation and core switches can classify traffic by two VLANs using IEEE 802.1ad VLAN stacking, so with such aggregation devices properly placed in the center of a network, end segments and rings of single tag devices can receive only the traffic that they need.

  When using MPLS, Ethernet VLANs have local meaning only (like Frame Relay PVC). Same scalability considerations apply to the MAC addresses where in a pure Layer 2 Ethernet MAN all MAC addresses are being shared across the network, although this issue can be managed by smart network design and choosing switches with MAC tables sufficient for the size of network segments.

  Resiliency: pure Ethernet network resiliency relies on Spanning Tree Protocols STP, IEEE 802.1w RSTP or IEEE 802.1s MSTP (30 to sub 50ms sec convergence depending on network design) while MPLS-based MANs use mechanisms such as MPLS Fast Reroute to achieve SDH-like (50 msecs) convergence times. Metro Ethernet can also utilise Link aggregation or Resilient Packet Ring where appropriate to add link redundancy and recovery in distribution networks. Some Ethernet vendors' RSTP convergence is also sub-50ms, but this convergence time may vary from vendor to vendor.

  Ethernet protection switching is also standardised in (ITU G.8031).Multiprotocol convergence: with the maturity on pseudowires standards (ATM Virtual Leased Line VLL, FR VLL, etc.) an MPLS-based Metro Ethernet can backhaul IP/Ethernet traffic together with virtually any type of traffic coming from customer or other access networks (i.e. ATM aggregation for UMTS or TDM aggregation for GSM), while this could be more challenging in a pure Ethernet scenario.

Rural community fibre optic broadband project


  The project involves delivering fibre to the home (FTTH) with cables stretching nearly 300km and connecting 1,452 households.

  Fibre optic broadband is being rolled out in urban areas, but internet service providers consider it uneconomical to lay cables in rural areas.

  "It's not that rural people don't have options, there's satellite and wireless for example, but the best option is optical fibre and rural people shouldn't be excluded from this," says Mrs Conder.

  This is a huge project, which requires a lot of volunteers to make it work. Local farmers dig the trenches using their own machinery and provide up to £2m for materials. Other funding is being raised through the sale of shares.

  Digging has only just begun, but the first houses could be connected in a matter of weeks.

  Although it is not a requirement, most of those who want a connection have purchased B4RN shares at pound;1 each. Shares are non-transferable, but are withdrawable and only redeemable at par so there is no opportunity for a capital gain. However, they can attract annual interest and offer tax relief.

  Installation will cost B4RN around pound;1,000 a household, with about 60% of that accounted for by materials rather than labour.

  The cables usually laid by telecommunications companies are beneath roads and other infrastructure, which are not necessarily the most straightforward routes.

  This is mostly because it is easier to get permission to lay cables under highways than to seek permission from many different landowners. B4RN is able cut some of these costs by directly negotiating with landowners for wayleaves.

  Because many of the landowners are involved in the project and it is not for capital gain, getting their permission is not usually a problem.

Windstream provides new cloud-based disaster recovery service




  Windstream (Nasdaq: WIN) is giving mid-market businesses another cloud entry point with its new Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) solution.

  Building on the cloud infrastructure footprint it gained from its acquisition of Hosted Solutions, DRaaS is a fully hosted and managed disaster recovery solution that offers replication and cloud technologies.

  The drive here is about unburdening a business from having to build their own disaster recovery capabilities themselves. By handing these processes to Windstream, they can replicate and recover critical servers and data center infrastructure in the cloud at a lower cost.

  But the new solution is not just about reducing costs. Rob Carter, Windstream's director of managed hosted solutions, said a "fully managed Disaster Recovery as a Service solution also reduces the burden of infrastructure tasks and expertise during the testing or real world enactment of disaster recovery plans on businesses."DRaaS, which is available now, can address various business environments: host-based replication or storage-based replication for EMC and NetApp customers; remote NetApp systems with support for SnapMirror and SnapVault replication; managed recovery to public, private or hybrid cloud environments with recovery points for key business applications; and integration with customers' existing VPN or private network solutions.

  While businesses still have concerns about using cloud services, a 2011 Forrester Research survey revealed that two-thirds of those surveyed said that they "considered Disaster Recovery to be of high or critical importance in the decision to adopt cloud services."Being a relatively new player in the cloud and data center market, the new DRaaS solution will give Windstream another weapon to differentiate itself from not only its fellow telco competitors, including Verizon/Terremark (NYSE: VZ) and CenturyLink (NYSE: CTL), but also against aggressive colocation providers such as FiberMedia.

2010 market frorecast-Strong quantity growth in fiber connector



  2010 market frorecast-Strong quantity growth in fiber connector, mechanical splice consumption. The worldwide consumption value of fiber optic connectors and mechanical splices will reach $2.5 billion according to a recent report from Electroni Cast Consultants. The report, which covers the years 2008-2013, pegs consumption at $1.658 billion in 2008 with the expectation of a relatively flat” 2009, ElectroniCast says, due to the multi-industry worldwide economic crisis.

  Of the $2.5 billion to be consumed in 2013, the AmericasSouth, Central, and Northwill account for nearly $1.4 billion. Over the five-year span covered in the report, strongly rising quantity growth will be partially offset by declining average prices.

  Stephen Montgomery, president of international business with ElectroniCast, explained the market dynamics that will shape the industry over the next few years. Technological advances in fiber optics are assuring the migration of fiber closer and closer to the end user, which then translates into demand for shorter and shorter links including board-to-board interconnects where connectors represent a substantial share of the total cable assembly and packaging cost, he said.

  The cost concerns are being addressed with smaller, lower-cost and easier-to-install discrete single-fiber as well as array-fiber connectors for board-to-board interconnect inside a box. Multi-fiber connector use, defined as more than two fibers, is rapidly growing and is becoming one of the choices for high-fiber and high-density interconnect applications.

  The 283-page report, which includes an additional 320 database-spreadsheet pages, is available from ElectroniCast for $7,200. In it, 2008-2013 forecasts are presented for each significant fiber-optic connector and mechanical splice used in selected communications applications. The market data are segmented into geographic regions and summarized globally.

1550-nm Loss-Minimized Fiber


  he ITU-T G.654 fiber is optimized for operation in the 1500-nm to 1600-nm region.

  This fiber has a low loss in the 1550-nm band. Low loss is achieved by using a pure silica core. ITU-T G.654 fibers can handle higher power levels and have a larger core area. These fibers have a high chromatic dispersion at 1550 nm. The ITU G.654 fiber has been designed for extended long-haul undersea applications.

330Mbps Fibre-Optic Broadband of BT Ready to Roll


  BT Openreach will reportedly be opening up its super-fast 330Mbps fibre-optic broadband network for general use after its UK trial ends on June 11. The service uses a direct fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) connection.

  FTTP is faster but also more complex to fit than the conventional fibre-to-the-cabinet system  as used by Virgin Media – where fibre-optic lines run to a service box down the road, with the final connection made with standard copper wiring.

  As the network provider, BT Openreach will be offering three speed categories: one with a top download speed of 80Mbps (and upload of 20Mbps) and two versions of the 330Mbps service, one with a 20Mbps upload speed and another with 30Mbps.

  A 220Mbps option is said to follow in early 2013. The final cost to the consumer will depend on which internet service providers sign up to use the network and how they set their pricing. Obviously BT's retail division will be among them.

  According to Recombu, the wholesale trade price table shows an £80 connection fee and pound 60 per month fee for the top-tier 330/30Mbps service, so an end-user's tariff would be higher than that and have VAT as well. Heavy business users will be better placed to take advantage of the increased speeds at first.

  However, reduced prices will initially be offered to ISPs for some options, including the 80/20Mbps and 330/20Mbps services, so we can expect those cost savings to be passed on to customers make the final pricing at least a bit more attractive.

  BT recently announced that its general fibre broadband service is now available to 10 million premises across the UK and that this roll-out is several months ahead of schedule.

Contention resolution


  Whenever two or more data packets arrive at a network node at the same time and contend for the same output, external blocking occurs. All packets but one are perceived as superfluous, and have to be dealt with. Next to the obvious choice of dropping all excess packets, academic literature typically presents three solutions: buffering, deflection routing or wavelength conversion. Optical buffering uses fiber delay lines (FDLs) to delay the light, and is regarded as the most effective, but comes with the additional cost of the FDLs.

  Implementation of optical buffers.As light cannot be frozen, an optical buffer is made of optical fibers, and is generally much larger than a RAM chip of comparable capacity. A single fiber can serve as a buffer. However, a set of more than one is usually used. A possibility, for example, is to choose a certain length D for the smallest fiber, and then let the second, third... have lengths . Another typical example is to use a single loop, in which the data circulates a variable number of times.

Consumer and industry perspectives


  There are two points of view into the ISDN world. The most common viewpoint is that of the end user, who wants to get a digital connection into the telephone network from home, whose performance would be better than a 20th century analog 56K modem connection. Discussion on the merits of various ISDN modems, carriers' offerings and tariffs (features, pricing) are from this perspective.

  Since the principal consumer application is for Internet access, ISDN was mostly superseded by DSL in the early 21st century. Inexpensive ADSL service offers speeds up to 384 kbit/s, while more expensive versions are improving in speed all the time. As of fall 2005, standard ADSL speeds are in millions of bits per second.

  There is a second viewpoint: that of the telephone industry, where ISDN is a core technology. A telephone network can be thought of as a collection of wires strung between switching systems. The common electrical specification for the signals on these wires is T1 or E1. Between telephone company switches, the signaling is performed via SS7. Normally, a PBX is connected via a T1 with robbed bit signaling to indicate on-hook or off-hook conditions and MF and DTMF tones to encode the destination number. ISDN is much better because messages can be sent much more quickly than by trying to encode numbers as long (100 ms per digit) tone sequences. This results in faster call setup times. Also, a greater number of features are available and fraud is reduced.

  ISDN is also used as a smart-network technology intended to add new services to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) by giving users direct access to end-to-end circuit-switched digital services and as a backup or failsafe circuit solution for critical use data circuits.

Construction of photonic-crystal fiber


  Generally, such fibers are constructed by the same methods as other optical fibers: first, one constructs a preform on the scale of centimeters in size, and then heats the preform and draws it down to a much smaller diameter (often nearly as small as a human hair), shrinking the preform cross section but (usually) maintaining the same features. In this way, kilometers of fiber can be produced from a single preform. The most common method involves stacking although drilling/milling was used to produce the first aperiodic designs. This formed the subsequent basis for producing the first soft glass and polymer structured fibers.

  Most photonic crystal fibers have been fabricated in silica glass, but other glasses have also been used to obtain particular optical properties (such has high optical non-linearity). There is also a growing interest in making them from polymer, where a wide variety of structures have been explored, including graded index structures, ring structured fibers and hollow core fibers. These polymer fibers have been termed MPOF, short for microstructured polymer optical fibers (van Eijkelenborg, 2001). A combination of a polymer and a chalcogenide glass was used by Temelkuran et al. (2002) for 10.6 µm wavelengths (where silica is not transparent)

ATT trusts IP DSLAMs could solve its rural broadband problem


  ATT (NYSE: T) is considering breathing new life into its rural wireline networks to deliver broadband services, a move that goes against its recent drive to divest what it believes are underperforming assets.

  As reported by Bloomberg, CEO Randall Stephenson said during a JPMorgan Chase  Co. call with investors that ATT would leverage IP DSLAMS to offer a higher speed DSL service. A sale of its rural lines would not be all that far-fetched, as fellow RBOC Verizon (NYSE: VZ) sold its rural lines in 14 states to Frontier Communications (Nasdaq: FTR) in 2010.

  In addition to its Yellow Pages business, ATT previously said it viewed its rural networks as underperforming assets that could hold back future company growth. The service provider sold a large stake in its Yellow Pages business to Cerberus Capital Management for $950 million in April.

  When it could not complete its acquisition of T-Mobile USA in January, one that the service provider thought could be used to offer wireless-based broadband to rural customers, Stephenson said it did not have any solution for its rural broadband issues.

  While ATT has yet to make an official announcement on its actual strategy, Stephenson said that the advent of IP DSLAMs could be an option to solve the rural wireline broadband problem.

  We are giving this a hard look, he said. IP DSLAMs bring broadband capability in a more cost-effective manner, with a better revenue profile than perhaps we would have thought two years ago.

  But even with the advent of IP DSLAMs, the challenge in rural areas is that most homes are too far from existing RTs and COs in addition to the varying conditions of copper lines.

ATT investors nix proposal to split CEO and chairman roles



  ATT (NYSE: T) investors decided against a plan to split chairman and CEO into separate positions, during its recent annual meeting in Salt Lake City.

  Investors' decision not to separate the chairman and CEO jobs was reached by a vote of 56 percent to 44 percent.

  Those who voted for an independent chairman argued they wanted additional oversight over ATT's chief executive officer, Randall Stephenson. They argued, specifically, that Stephenson's $28 million in total compensation in 2011 was excessive.

  However, ATT's board maintained that the service provider had a lead independent director, and the combined CEO-chairman role was a way to bridge the gap between the board and management.

  A separate proposal to issue a semiannual report on the company's political contributions was defeated by a vote of 38 percent to 61 percent.

  In announcing its board meeting results, ATT noted that executive pay was approved 93 percent to 7 percent.

  Meanwhile, the ATT board rejected a proposal to incorporate net-neutrality rules on its wireless network.

ATT certifies Kirksville Industrial Park


  A multinational corporation is helping out the city of Kirksville in a big way.

  John Sondag, the President of ATT Missouri, was in Kirksville Wednesday afternoon to speak with local leaders about the company's investment in the city and to certify Kirksville Industrial Park as an ATT certified fiber park.

  ATT recently placed fiber optic cable in the area, ensuring the best landline and mobile technology for businesses.

  The certification will help in marketing the area to companies looking to relocate or expand in Kirksville.

  We're very excited about the opportunity that it's going to bring to the city of Kirksville to expand this industrial park. I think city leaders can market this to people throughout the country and the world, Sondag said.

  It's a wonderful opportunity to market our area because when a business wants to locate, they want to be in a building that has everything they need. So now with ATT has invested in our park, what that means is that a business can come here and build without spending money on the fiber optics they need, said Carolyn Chrisman, Director of Job Creation for K-REDI.

  Everyone hopes that this will help create new jobs and improve the city's economy.

  It's going to attract businesses. It's going to allow local businesses in the area to grow. I think it will create new jobs. I think it's good for the Kirksville economy, Sondag said.

  ATT has done us a great service. Now we can market companies to come and locate in Kirksville, Chrisman said.

  The announcement took place at the Kirksville Rotary Club meeting. Afterwards, a ribbon cutting ceremony took place at the industrial park.

  Sondag said he's excited and positive about Kirksville's future.

  We're very proud to make the investment here. Kirksville is a very important city, and a community for us to serve, Sondag said.We're very happy that we were able to bring this here to help this community continue to grow.

Crossover cable pinouts


In practice, it does not matter if non-crossover Ethernet cables are wired as T568A or T568B, just so long as both ends follow the same wiring format. Typical commercially available "pre-wired" cables can follow either format depending the manufacturer.

What this means is that one manufacturer's cables are wired one way and another's the other way, yet both are correct and will work. In either case, T568A or T568B, a normal (un-crossed) cable will have both ends wired according to the layout in the Connection 1 column.

Although the Gigabit crossover is defined in the Gigabit Ethernet standard, in practice all Gigabit PHYs feature an auto-MDIX capability and are designed for compatibility with the existing 100BASE-TX crossovers. The IEEE-specified Gigabit crossover is generally seen as unnecessary.Certain equipment or installations, including those in which phone and/or power are mixed with data in the same cable, may require that the "non-data" pairs 1 and 4 (pins 4, 5, 7 and 8) remain un-crossed.

Cross Section of Inside-Plant Cables


The individual fibers have a strippable buffer coating. All six subunit buffer tubes are enclosed within a binder that contains an interstitial filling or water-blocking compound. An outer strength member, typically constructed of aramid Kevlar strength members encloses the binder. The outer strength member is surrounded by an inner medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) jacket.

The corrugated steel armor layer between the outer high-density polyethylene (HDPE) jacket, and the inner MDPE jacket acts as an external strength member and provides physical protection. Conventional deep-water submarine cables use dual armor and a special hermetically sealed copper tube to protect the fibers from the effects of deep-water environments. However, shallow-water applications use cables similar to those shown in Figure 3-7 with an asphalt compound interstitial filling.

How to choose 10G Base-T patch cord


No matter Cat6 or Cat5e are both unable to support 10G Base-T of 100 meters. Therefore, relative to the prerequisites of the IEEE 802. 3 organization TR42. 7 Commission in 2003 began a survey of a new generation of cable, eventually enacted TIA/EIA-568-B. 2-10 of standard in 08. They redefined the prerequisites of the category 6A cable relative to the standards of the 10GBase-T
First of all, the requirement of class 6A system bandwidth up to 500Mhz, introduced a brand of crosstalk between the indicator and test. Category 6A system totally fulfills the applications of 10G Base-T of 100 meters. At present, based on horizontally sprained pair Gigabit transmission equipment is not very popular, but taking into account the quality assurance of integrated electrical wiring system 25 years and at least 15 years of usage time.
It will bring huge cost to switch the electrical wiring system and relocation. The cost of 10 G Base-T networks  has been reduced from 8 to 9 times in 2004 to two to three times compare with 1000Base-T and it will be further reduce with the wide range of applications.
Compared with the cost of 10 GB/s fiber optic network, 10G base-T is only about 20%. As for the higher flow requirement data center, a good 6A cabling system is a foundation for future expansion and development.
Cat7 can also support 10G base-t, however considering its cost and versatility, the Cat6e is still the best solution for 10 Gigabit.
