Channel Length Calculation

28 AWG Usage Guidelines

• De-rating values– 28 AWG stranded = 1.9

– 24 AWG stranded = 1.2

– 23/24 AWG solid = 1

• Example– 6m of 28 AWG patch (96m Channel): (6 * 1.9) + (90 * 1) = 101.4 m

• Shorter from higher attenuation of smaller wire

• Use de-rating formula to calculate lengths:

(Patch Length * De-rating of patch) + (Horizontal Length * De-rating of horizontal) ≤ 102 m

25

28 AWG Usage GuidelinesUsing with Power Over Ethernet

• PoE power levels increasing, but 28 AWG cords can support

– All Panduit 28 AWG cords support PoE/+/++ power

– Bundle size to meet 15°C temp rise

• Goal: help you promote Category 6A

• Summary: Panduit recommends Cat 6A for new permanent installations

– There are new applications where Category 6A is not required but recommend

• Applications recommending Cat 6A

– 10GBASE-T

– Next generation PoE++

– Wireless access points

– Category 8 shows life beyond Cat 6A

Introduction

36

Cat 6A Growth in Enterprise

37

POE Enables More Applications Up to 100 Watts

• 100 million POE capable switch ports have shipped

• 100 watt standard in 2016

• 6A standard of choice

38

What Makes Category 6A Special?

Alien crosstalkNoise from external cables

Not specified for Cat 5E or 6

10GBASE-T requires Cat 6A!

Equipment cannot compensate for alien crosstalk!

Cabling system must meet it by design!

39

Power over Ethernet RoadmapCat 5E and 6 work fine on PoE and PoE+

Limited on bundle size for PoE++

Cat 6A is recommended for PoE++

Cat 6A recommended for new standards with 49W+ of power

Clue!

40

PoE Standards for Cabling

For cable:Key is temperature rise in bundles

TIA TSB-184-A is in draft

Temperature rise in bundle center < 15o

Temperature rise can cause:Signal degradation

Physical damage to cable

41

Less Power Lost with Category 6A

Category 6A cable is more efficient with PoE

Category 6A cable uses (slightly) bigger wiresBigger copper wires = less resistance

Resistance turns power into heat

Less resistance = less heat = less power lost

27% more power is lost with Category 5e. Install Category 6A!Clue!

42

No PoE Bundle Limits with Cat 6A

Only Category 6A works!

43

PoE Cable Bundle Size Guidelines

96 cable bundleAlternative 96 cables with 4 x 24 bundles

* Guideline only goes up to 100 cable bundle** Preliminary TIA Guideline

44

Connectivity Concern with PoE• Arcing (spark) occurs when plug is removed

– Does not occur when plug is inserted

• Carbon buildup may prevent data transmission

• Jack must be designed to handle

Next Generation Copper ApplicationsDrive to 802.11ac (and Cat 6A…)

50

Wireless Access – Increased Bandwidth and Growth

• CAGR 14% until 2020

• NG BaseT

• 6A standard of choice

51

Port Growth by Technology

52

Drive to 802.11ac (and Cat 6A…)• 802.11ac needs 10GBASE-T / Category 6A

– Wave 1 (available now) = up to 1.3Gbps

– Wave 2 = eventually up to 6.9Gbps

– For reference, 802.11n only 450Mbps

• 802.11ac is better than 802.11n– Longer battery life

– More bandwidth = faster downloads

– More density = more users

– 802.11ac backwards compatible with 802.11n

• Expect fast adoption of 802.11ac

53

Recommended layout wireless access cells in commercial buildings

60’

54

TSB 162-A Cabling Recommendations• Pre-cable using square grids

• Max. 18.3x18.3m sq. cells

• Dense environments

– Smaller cell or

– 2 AP in cell

• 2 Category 6A to each WAP

• Max link length = 80 m

Lmax = R = 0.707 X

Lmax = equipment cord lengthR = cell radiusX = length of side of cell

55

NGEABT = 2.5 and 5GBASE-T• Higher BW Ethernet for WAP

• IEEE standard 802.3bz in development– 2.5G over legacy Cat5e/6

– 5G over legacy Cat6

– Recommend Cat6A for new Installations

• Feasibility in progress

– Alien crosstalk

– Bandwidth

• Auto-negotiation concern

NGEABT imposes requirements in RED regions

Encourages customers to upgrade to Cat 6AShows life for copper

Encourages late adaptorsSome customers stay 1 generation behind in technology

Similar timing to SFP28May get twisted-pair copper back into the data center

Why is Cat 8 Important to Cat 6A?

Category 8 gives copper a strong future!
