Are there legal requirements? • Standards are not necessarily law • Contracts are law • Be careful what you sign up to! • It is impossible to comply with ISO EN & TIA standards at the same time • What would reasonably be expected • Start with National Standards • i. e. BS EN

Which should I use? • • Recommend the UK & EN series Design – EN 50173 series Installation O&M – BS 6701 Admin, Spaces, Pathway systems – EN 50174 series Installation – EN 50174 series Functional Bonding – EN 50174 series & EN 50310 Testing – EN 50173 series

Cable Types

Class EA – To Screen or Not to Screen

Reminder of the Standards • IEEE 802. 3 an – 2006 was ratified in June 2006 • It defined an application standard for 10 Gb/s data transmission over copper twisted pair of up to 100 metres and includes both UTP and STP • With the ratification of ISO/IEC 11801 Class EA the IEEE agreed to use this for all future development involving 10 G Ethernet over copper.

10 GBASE-T Challenges • Alien Cross. Talk (ANEXT) is the noise source that limits the ability to Transmit 10 Gb Ethernet • The 10 GBASE-T receiver cannot compensate for the noise from adjacent channels. • The cabling needs to do the cancelling wherever possible

10 GBASE-T Challenges • The noise is measured as • PSANEXT • PSAACRF • Both ISO/IEC 11801 Ed 2. 1 Class. EA & TIA-EIA-568 B. 2 -10 Cat 6 A require Crosstalk be measured in a 6 -around-1 configuration.

10 GBASE-T Challenges • Category 6 UTP system will not meet the limits for 100 metres of 10 GBASET transmission.

10 GBASE-T Challenges • One answer • Install screened solutions • The foil screen prevents signals from coupling and reduces alien crosstalk well below the required limits • Eliminates the need for time-consuming and complicated field-testing of ANEXT

Independent Testing • An independent test carried out by GHMT funded by some leading manufacturers demonstrated the benefits of a screened solution.

Independent Testing • Practical Radiated HF Pushing the push-to-talk switch or the call set-up button impaired the data transmission of unscreened systems system (01 and 02) or even led to complete loss of signal traffic. There was no influence on the screened systems.

Independent Testing • Fast Transients Powering of fluorescent lamps U/UTP systems failed this test for all electromagnetic environments. STP systems pass this test for all electromagnetic environments.

Conclusions • The evidence is all leaning towards a screened solution being the best performing option • It takes no longer to install a screened option on balance of these findings • The only reason to install U/UTP over a screened option can only be for materials cost • Beware some vendors continue to question these findings and will push what is best for them

Containment ‘The Critical Issue’

The Impact of CAT 6 A • The Fundamentals have Changed • Irrespective of Shielded or Unshielded • The OD has increased over CAT 6 by 25 -30% • From less than 6 mm to over 8 mm in some cases • Example 25 mm Flexible Conduit • 4 x CAT 6 UTP cables • 3 x CAT 6 A (if you are lucky) • Impact on Bend Radii

Containment • If in doubt, use the containment calculator. www. CCS-networking. com/containmentcalculator

The Impact of CAT 6 A • Impact on Bend Radii • Do the maths! • 8 times OD during installation, 4 times OD when installed (under tension and relaxed) • Over to 64 mm when pulling in and 32 mm when installed • Double check the claims of the containment manufacturers • One of whom claimed capacity for up to 14 CAT 6 A cables unfortunately in reality could only accommodate 3 in the bends.

The Impact of CAT 6 A Part 1 of BS/EN 50174 states The Design of the termination points SHALL: • Allow safe access • Ensure link performance (Keep MBR) • Have adequate clearance to install components in accordance with cable manufacturer’s instructions.

How to get it Wrong

Importance of Independent Testing

Third Party Verification • CCS Category 6 and Category 6 A systems carry both Channel and Component certification • To download copies of our 3 rd party verification certificates please visit www. CCS-networking. com
