TIA-942 Data Center Networking Applications: 10 Gigabit Ethernet Over Twisted-Pair Copper

Tags:
ethernet

Overview In parallel and subsequent to the development of TIA-942, the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet working group published two twisted-pair copper standards, 1000 Mb/s Ethernet designated 1000BASE-T and 10 Gb/s Ethernet (10 GbE) designated 10GBASE-T, both standards are targeted at meeting the increasing bandwidth requirements for data center applications. This white paper will discuss the TIA-942 Data Center standard with emphasis on data center cabling and 10GBASE-T twisted-pair Ethernet data center applications.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
