Tyco Electronics announces the AMP NETCONNECT XG Systems Advantage, a comprehensive portfolio that includes multimode fibre to 300 meters (XG fibre cabling system), PiMF copper cabling to 100 meters (XG copper cabling system) and UTP copper cabling to 100 meters (XG UTP copper cabling system).
‘With 10-Gigabit optical fibre in use for over three years and several vendors now promoting 10 Gigabit twisted-pair copper products, there is much confusion in the industry’, says Eddie Boyce, UK Product Marketing Manager for Tyco Electronics AMP NETCONNECT Solutions Division: ‘The XG Systems Advantage is intended to take the confusion out of 10 Gigabit Ethernet by providing the facts about each solution, enabling customers to make informed, cost-effective decisions.’
The AMP NETCONNECT XG fibre system is a complete end-to-end system utilising 850 nm laser-optimised 50/125 mm multimode fibre to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Fibre Channel up to 300 m using low-cost serial transmission while also supporting legacy LED systems.
The AMP NETCONNECT XG STP copper cabling system is a complete end-to-end system utilising shielded designs that overcome alien crosstalk (ANEXT) to exceed the proposed 10GBASE-T standard and enable 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission over a full 100 m channel.
The AMP NETCONNECT XG UTP copper cabling system is a complete-end-to-end system that provides the fast and easy installation of UTP while delivering the performance needed to support 10GBASE-T and enable 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission over a full 100 m channel. The XG UTP System overcomes ANEXT limitations through a combination of new materials, manufacturing technology, and advanced test and measurement methods.
‘Today’s network designs demand media that can support the full 100-meter distance for either backbone or horizontal channels. Those looking for 10 Gigabit capacity over a copper system have two AMP NETCONNECT XG systems to choose from that do just that’, says Eddie Boyce: ‘Through the AMP NETCONNECT XG copper and fibre systems, Tyco Electronics now offers a complete portfolio of global 10 Gigabit solutions.’
