CX4 Cables for IEEE802.3ak Standard
Approved in February 2004, 10GBASE-CX4 is a low-cost 10GbE solution intended for copper cabling with short distance connectivity that makes it ideal for wiring closet and data center connectivity. The first 10GbE copper cabling standard, 10GBASE-CX4 provides immediate advantages with its affordability and wide availability.
The CX4 standard transmits 10GbE over four channels using twin-axial cables. The cables were derived from Infiniband™ connectors and cable, but the CX4 standards committee defined the cables to be tighter in electrical specifications. Therefore, longer length (>10m) Infiniband cables will not necessarily work for CX4 applications and it is recommended to use only cables that are designed to meet IEEE 802.3ak specifications when using CX4.
Another aspect of the CX4 cable is the rigidity and thickness of the cable. The longer the length used the thicker the cable. CX4 cables start at 30 American Wire Gauge (AWG) for short lengths to 24 AWG thickness for a full 15 meters. CX4 cables must also be factory terminated to meet defined specifications so they should be ordered to length.
Sopto supplies high quality CX4 Cables with reasonable price. For the newest quotes, please contact a Sopto representative by calling 86-755-36946668, or by sending an email to info@sopto.com. For more info, please browse our website.
