Common Forms of 10GbE Copper Cables
Common forms of 10GbE copper cables are as follows:
10GBASE-CR – Currently, the most common type of copper 10GbE cable is the 10GBase-CR cable that uses an attached SFP+ connector, also known as a Direct Attach Copper (DAC). This fits into the same form factor connector and housing as the fiber-optic cables with SFP+ connectors. Many 10GbE switches accept cables with SFP+ connectors, which support both copper and fiber-optic cables. These cables are available in 1m, 3m, 5m, 7m, 8.5m and longer distances. The most commonly deployed distances are 3m and 5m.
Passive and Active DAC – Passive copper connections are common with many interfaces. The industry is finding that as the transfer rates increase, passive copper does not provide the distance needed and takes up too much physical space. The industry is moving towards an active copper type of interface for higher speed connections.
Active copper connections include components that boost the signal, reduce the noise and work with smaller gauge cables, improving signal distance, cable flexibility and airflow.
10GBASE-T – These cables and connectors are similar to, but not the same as the cables used for 1000BASE-T. 10GBASE-T cables are Cat6a (Category 6 augmented), also known as Class EA cables. These support the higher frequencies required for 10Gb transmission up to 100 meters (330 feet). Cables must be certified to at least 500MHz to ensure 10GBASE-T compliance.
Cat7 (Category 7, Class F) cable is also certified for 10GBASE-T compliance, and is typically deployed in Europe. Cat6 cables may work in 10GBASE-T deployments up to 55m, but should be tested first. Some newer 10GbE switches support 10GBASE-T(RJ45) connectors.
