Just when you think we have reached peak Ethernet with the 8 Pair Ethernet cable something arrives that pushes the envelope further.
The Terra System from Siemon provides Ethernet Network Connectivity delivering a whopping 40G per second up to 30M.
Offering a backwards compatible RJ45 Connector system it will easily incorporate into existing RJ45 Network infrastructure.
Here is the technical bit!
The Category 8.2 TERA-to-RJ45 patch cords are ideal for 2-connector switch-to-server connections in middle of row (MoR) and end of row (EoR) data center configurations. The Category 8.2 RJ45-to-RJ45 patch cords are ideal in direct attach switch-to-server connections used in top of rack (ToR) configurations. Constructed of Category 8.2 S/FTP 2000 MHz cable, TERA Category 8.2 patch cords are backwards compatible with Category 7A/Class FA and lower cabling systems.
- High Performance Cable – Features Category 8.2 S/FTP stranded cable for optimal 25 Gig and 40 Gig transmission
- Standards-Compliant Interface – Recognized with ISO/IEC 11801-1 Ed. 1.0
- Easy color coding – Removable color clips available in 9 colors allow field color coding to distinguish applications
- Integrated PCB – PCB equipped plug optimizes signal for exceptional transmission
- CATEGORY 8.2 PATCHING – Ideal in direct attach switch-to-server connections used in top of rack (ToR) configurations
What does all this mean? It’s fast, super fast. With IT Networks under ever increasing demand for bandwidth due to everyday use of applications such as video streaming, this is a great solution. While the debate as to what is best, Copper or Fibre in networking, Fibre is still more expansive however the gap is closing!
While there are competing systems on the market the Tera System is one that looks like it will be around for some time to come!
