Nexans, Mysticom Extend 10 GbE
Links To 25 Meters Over Cat.7
Mysticom, an innovative supplier of high-speed communication ICs, announced
superior performance and extended data transmission distances during
interoperability testing with the Nexans Cat.7 connector and cable assembly
solution. The tests confirmed that Mysticom's MY3124, 10G XAUI-XAUI Retiming
Transceiver and Nexans' cable and connector assembly solution, together
provide a cost effective 10 Gigabit Ethernet solution for Data Center and
Horizontal Enterprise Network environments.
In the interoperability test utilizing Cat.7 data cables, the links were
operated at a distance of 25 meters with the Enhanced Mode enabled on the
MY3124 and 20 meters in standard 8b/10b mode. A variety of data patterns were
transmitted, including the stressful IEEE Draft P802.3ae/D4.1 Continuous
Random Pattern. All results were achieved with better than 10-15 Bit Error
Rate.
"We are pleased that Mysticom has successfully demonstrated
interoperability
between the MY3124 Transceiver and our LANmark-7 cabling solution based on the
GG45 Interface," said Mark Rogers, general manager of Nexans Cabling
Solutions. "These results add confidence into the 10 Gigabit Ethernet
technology and allow customers to design 10 Gigabit system based on fully
standardized copper cabling systems."
"Mysticom is committed to satisfying the increasing need for system
interconnections at multi-gigabit speeds," said Wiren Perera, Mysticom's vice
president of worldwide marketing. "Our partnership with Nexans has allowed us
to deliver a high-performance, cost effective solution utilizing TP Cat.7 data
cables, to further accelerate the deployment of 10 Gigabit Ethernet in the
marketplace."
