| Recent tests have shown that the transmission distance of 10 Gigabit-Ethernet for data centre applications can be almost doubled at half the cost of current copper solutions. The tests carried-out by Mysticom Semiconductor, USA, a leading supplier of high-speed communication integrated circuits, and Siemon, USA, a global leader in the network cabling industry, have shown show that Siemon�s Category 7/class F TERA� cabling system with Mysticom�s MY3124 XAUI retiming transceiver has extended transmission distance from 15m, currently supported by Infiniband� twinax copper solutions, to 25m.
The real time interoperability test included two MY3124, 10G XAUI-XAUI retiming transceivers operating over Category 7/class F TERA� cable assemblies, achieving a post code BER of 10-16 for the entire duration of the 72 hour test,simulating a network environment. This BER level was obtained using the most stringent IEEE approved 10 Gigabit-Ethernet Standard Continuous Jitter Pattern Test (CJPAT).
