Differences b/t CAT6, CAT6e and CAT6a
Simple answer is that Cat6, as you said is the standard that will do 10gbe to 37m (or there abouts), and Cat6A is the standard for cable to do 10gbe at 100m. Cat6(e,E,+,anything else) is marketing ploy. There are differing qualities of both 6 and 6A that will be different amounts above the... -
10G vs 1G mulitmode
The need for attenuators will depend on the output strength and receive sensitivity of your transceivers. Gotta read the spec on them and do the math (output - cable loss = receive specs). If you're talking just media converters at either end, SM aren't that much more expensive than multimode... -
50 micron MM to 50 micron SM
Patching from 50m to 62.5m will work. You'll have little to no loss when the transmitting direction is going from 50 to 62.5. But when the transmitting direction is 62.5 to 50, you have up to 9db of loss, depending on many factors of both cable types. The length will be your over all biggest... -
Installing preterminated fiber
Ooops, forgot...I wouldn't put anything less that 12 strands, maybe even 24. Justin T. Clausen Physical Layer Implementation California State University, Monterey Bay -
Installing preterminated fiber
When deciding on what fiber to use, what are your network speeds? If you're even close to going over 1G on your fiber link, you'd have to look at Laser Optimized 50 micron. But low end LO 50 is limited to 300m for 10G (obviously longer for 1G). But LO 50 glass is more expensive than single... -
conduit for fiber and copper
To piggy back on to what mikeydidit said, fill ratio's, while effect future pulls and such, is all about the firestopping. But as to the fiber, we stopped spec'ing inderduct and fiber and have started using armored fiber without inderduct (this is for indoor riser or horizontal runs). In... -
TN570 Expansion Interface Info
nknook, Perfect, thank you! Any suggestions where there might be a spec sheet? Justin Justin T. Clausen Physical Layer Implementation California State University, Monterey Bay- Jtodd

Need advice
Just to add a few thoughts: I would rethink the 10G uplink. I'm on a state university campus and we're not even considering 10G uplinks, even between Cores. At most we're doing double 1G uplinks. So for construction site trailer's, that might be a bit of over kill. If this were a shorter... -
TN570 Expansion Interface Info
Hello All, I'm looking for information about the TN570A/B/C expansion interface units for the DEFINITY system (G3). I'm mostly interested in the specs on the fiber transceivers themselves. I've plowed through the web to no avail. The Avaya support pages was even less help. I'm looking for...- Jtodd

Which CAT do I need my old CAT-5 or 5e or 6
dagwood- From the 10th ED. of the BICSI RCDD: Chapter 1 list of US Standards and codes: "ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.1-4, Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard, Part 1: General Requirements, Addendum 4—Additional Media—Recognition of Category 6 and 850 nm Laser-Optimized 50/125 ?m... -
Which CAT do I need my old CAT-5 or 5e or 6
It should be noted that what Cat5 cable and parts are available, Cat5 is no longer a recognized standard for newly install components. Cat5e is the minimum to be standards compliant. So it wouldn't be a good idea from any stand point to be replacing Cat5 with new Cat5. I like the first... -
T-1 cabling
Thanks for the info! With my limited T1 experience, this has been helpful. But I want to through in another wrinkle, just to make sure I"m on the right page. From my past dealings, I'm familiar with what's referred here to as the CSU. But, what if the dmarc comes right out of a fiber driven... -
T-1 cabling
Adding an additional question to some one else's.... When extending T1's is this manor, what is the max. distance? I've found 650' on 22AWG Cat3. Any other guidelines? We're having our PBX relocated to the new data center/telco facility, and it just dawned on us that the connection to the... -
Cat5e Cable Length 487 feet
Couple different quick ideas.... 1. for extending the cable...I'd consider using a 110 block to do the "splicing". Cost effective, and really not a lot different than a 710 splice, and probably more reliable than any type of "bean" splice. 2. If ethernet doesn't work, try point-to-point VDSL... -
Cabling Forum
Interesting post. This is my first time reading this forum in probably close to a year and a half. Mostly because of time constraints and forgetfulness. But I'll have to say that the general purpose of this post also came into play. I've imparted some wisdom here, and gained more. I'm... -
Move 110 Blocks off wall to rack?
One thing to note (coming in much too late) is that it depends on the 110 blocks. If you have 110 blocks that have removable legs, then the blank panels mentioned would work just fine. But if you can't get the legs off, then you're kinda stuck with the plywood idea. Now, if you can move a... -
singlemode-multinode sc to mt-rj
Sorry, for some reason the full link didn't take. Anyway, here is the full link again. [link]http://www.transition.com/TransitionNetworks/Products2/Family.aspx?Name=F-SM-MM-04(xx)+%26+SFMFF1xxx-22x[/url] Also, this should solve your patch cord issue as well, though now you will also need... -
singlemode-multinode sc to mt-rj
akwong, it looks like you've got a problem... Your switches are multimode switches (based on the SX in the part number) and you've got singlemode cable. First order of business would be to determine which the contractor was specified to put in, and with the 1km distance, it was most likely to... -
Tool for separating fused pairs???
My solution to the bonded pair cable was to use different cable. I used the bonded once and won't go back. Justin T. Clausen Physical Layer Implementation California State University, Monterey Bay -
Long Cat5e run
Mike I feel for you!! I've just one campus worth of bureaucracy (there is some input/influence from the CSU System, but not much control) and I couldn't imagine one that runs the whole state!!!! Justin T. Clausen Physical Layer Implementation California State University, Monterey Bay
