Hubbell and Solarflare (News - Alert) Communications, a leading provider of high-performance Ethernet
silicon, have announced that Hubbell Premise Wiring’s NEXTSPEEDÔ Ascent 10GbE UTP and NEXTSPEEDÔ Shielded 10GbE cabling solutions successfully met stringent 10GBASE-T performance requirements at Solarflare’s Irvine laboratory.
Both unshielded and shielded cabling systems had been configured in a worst-case topology defined by the IEEE 802.3 and TIA standards: a 100-meter, four-connector, six-around-one ANEXT bundle. Solarflare’s 10Xpress 10GBASE-T PHYs were utilized for the six disturber channels and for the one victim channel.
Bruce Tolley, VP marketing, Solarflare Communications said in a statement, “Solarflare is the only company to publicly demonstrate 100-meter, standards-compliant 10GBASE-T products. We were also the first company to deliver these products to customers. Our products undergo a rigorous test and validation process to ensure 10GBASE-T compliance and 100-meter performance. The six-around-one testing with Hubbell shows the maturity and robustness of our 10Xpress solution at 100 meters.”
"The transmission performance of Hubbell’s 10G UTP/FTP systems far exceeds current industry standards,” said Michael O’Connor, director Technical Marketing & Services for Hubbell Premise Wiring. “With multiple 10G projects installed over the past months, this performance testing validates our product as the product of choice for customers who value high performance.”
Hubbell’s 10GbE cabling system components: cable and connecting hardware – jacks, patch panels, patch cords – have been designed with the help of advanced modeling and engineering techniques specifically framed to suppress ANEXT and offer the extended bandwidth to support networks well into the future.
