In the old days, Hz used to equal baud rate but not true anymore.Wiki specifications talk about 500MHz limit and also capable of 10GBASE-T (10Gigabit Ethernet)
If 10G means ten Gigabit; what is its relation to only 500MHz ?
No. Category 6A is only certified tested to 500Mhz.Can it be used to transmit a 10GHz signal ?
I am missing how this clarifies the subject.The answer you seek is in IEEE 802.3an-2006.
No...I am missing how this clarifies the subject.
"Category 6a is required to reach the full distance of 100 metres (330 ft) and category 6 may reach a distance of 55 metres (180 ft) depending on the quality of installation, determined only after re-testing to 500 MHz."
So Cat 6 goes up to 500 MHz (without creative modulation) and 6A goes up to 833 MHz?
Ah, got it.thank you.No...
Cat6A is certified to 500Mhz and is intended for use with 10Gb Ethernet up to 100 meters.
Cat6 is certified to 250Mhz and is intended for use with 1Gb Ethernet up to 100 meters.
But...as the statement you've quoted suggests...if you can certifiy Cat6 cable at 500Mhz, then you can use it for 10Gb, but only up to a shorter distance of 55 meters. But I wouldn't recommend that, I'd just use Cat6A.
"The 802.3an standard specifies the wire-level modulation for 10GBASE-T to use Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (THP) and pulse-amplitude modulation with 16 discrete levels (PAM-16), encoded in a two-dimensional checkerboard pattern known as DSQ128 sent on the line at 800 Msymbols/sec"I am missing how this clarifies the subject.
