TIA sets objectives for 40G over twisted pair

Posted on 11/17/2011

In a post on the Network Infrastructure Blog, Valerie Maguire of Siemon provides some detail on the work being done within the TIA TR-42.7 Copper Cabling Subcommittee to establish specifications for 40-Gbit/sec or higher transmission over twisted-pair copper cabling.

Maguire states that these next-generation cabling parameters are expected to be published in 2014, in addendum 1 to TIA-568-C.2. She further explains that four task groups have been formed to investigate these parameters. The subjects being investigated are Application Space, Capacity, Cables and Connectors.

The blog post also includes a table that lists a series of objectives and whether the TR-42.7 Subcommittee considers each objective "required," "highly desired," "nice to have" or "not required."

Why doesn´t SIEMON speak clear to the readers

- The TERA connector will not be taken into account in the new standard. This connector has no future.

- The cable that will be required is of 1600 MhZ or superior and it will not be STP, it is very sure that it will be FTP. The cable of the TERA solution does not have future either.

Only after 2014 we will know what will be the future of 40 gigas over twisted pair. However SIEMON tells its clients that the TERA solution will support that velocity, when even the cable is still not defined, not even the bandwidth and much less the connector.
