10Gbit over Copper
With the ratification of the 10GBaseT Ethernet and Cat6a cabling standards, achieving 10Gbit performance over copper structured cabling is now a reality. Almost all of the cabling manufacturers listed above are now offering Cat6a or Cat7 products designed to meet 10G performance once the network electronics becomes more readily available.
Able Data will be delighted to explain the comparative benefits of the different cabling standards (Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6a/Cat7) and cable types (UTP/FTP).
Intelligent Infrastructure Management (IIM)
IIM is a term to mean the use of active patch panels to monitor patch connections and auto-record links in a database. With the addition of the IIM management software (which optionally uses SNMP protocol to map the physical links onto computer and network devices), IIM systems offer powerful infrastructure management facilities. Benefits include increased security, auto-tracking of moves and changes, more accurate patching, faster fault fixing, asset tracking and many other features.
Most of the cabling manufacturers listed above offer IIM options on both their copper and fibre products. Able Data can install, configure and support a number of different IIM systems including iPatch (SYSTIMAX), SmartPatch (Brand-Rex) and iTRACS (Siemon, Nexans, Tyco, Ortronics & Corning). Able Data is an iTRACS iPSP.
