In a short span of time, the speed of LAN (locan area network) has increased exponentially. We can see an increase in LAN requirements and a progression of horizontal bandwidth requirements specifically on copper cables.
The 10Gigabit Ethernet Standard* (10GBASE-T) for twisted pair copper cable is now a reality. The new revisions of intenational standards** on cabling systems ISO/IEC11801 and TIA/EIA 568C respectively define Class EA and Category 6A cabling which both offer a bandwidth of 500Mhz.
These developments means that companies are now able to put in place a fiber optic backbone and migrate towards higher speed of copper cabling horizontally. Installing high performance copper cabling system enable these companies to support future applications.
Our company offers Volition Network Solution from 3M which fully comply and are economically beneficial for the company with advances in copper cabling standards.
