To allow for data-rates of 10 Gb/s, the signal
needs to be transmitted at frequencies up to
a minimum of 500 MHz, as compared with
Category 6 transmissions which run up to 200
MHz. To achieve communication at these high
frequencies over UTP copper requires significant
changes in the way the channel components are
designed.

At these high frequencies, all components of
a 10G channel begin to emit electromagnetic
fields, which negatively impact the channels
that are closest in physical proximity. This
interaction between one channel and its
neighboring channels is called Alien Near End
Cross Talk (ANEXT). Overcoming this is one of
the most difficult requirements of Augmented
Cat 6 standard.

jack connections.

The 10GX Modular Cords are available in ten
pantone colors that match the colors per the
TIA/EIA-606 standard. The 10GX Modular Cords
product line encompasses CMR modular cords,
as well as open-ended cords.

The unmatched performance exceeds all
parameters specified in the proposed
Augmented Category 6 standard.
All performance characteristics have been
set to guarantee transmission performance
up to 625 MHz.

The 10GX Modular Cord is designed to be used
with the Belden IBDN System 10GX.

ith the highest density hubs that utilize RJ45

The second critical challenge to developing
10G modular cords is to control the electrical
performance on all the other par
to a minimum of 500 MHz.

In order to achieve true 10G channel
performance, Belden CDT Networking has
designed the 10GX Modular Cord based on
a patent-pending design: the management
design allows for very good control of
the internal plug NEXT. This allows the modular
cord to deliver channel performance up to
625 MHz. The patch cable design offer
good Alien crosstalk performance, while
maintaining the important mechanical
characteristics such as flexibility.
