Since 10-Gigabit Ethernet
(10-GBE) was ratified in June
2002, the move is on to upgrade
Ethernet networks. 10-GBE is a
logical extension of previous
Ethernet versions and was
designed to make the transition
from LANs to Wide Area
Networks (WANs) and
Metropolitan Area Networks
(MANs). 10-GBE offers a cost-
effective migration for high-
performance and long-haul
transmissions at up to
40 kilometers. Its most common
application now is as a backbone
for high-speed LANs, server
farms, and campuses. It also
enables you to connect
geographically separated LANs to
new MANs and WANs via dark

10-GBE supports existing
Ethernet technologies. It uses the
same layers (MAC, PHY, and
PMD), and the same frame sizes
and formats. But the IEEE 802.3ae
spec defines two sets of physical
interfaces: LAN (LAN PHY) and
WAN (WAN PHY).

The most notable difference
between 10-GBE and previous
Ethernets is that 10-GBE operates
in full-duplex only and specifies
fiber optic media. The chart on
page 2 notes the differences
between Gigabit and 10-Gigabit
Ethernet.

Choose from three styles:
• Zipcord patch cable with a
PVC jacket.
• Bulk distribution-style cable
with a PVC or plenum jacket.

You can use these cables with
LED or laser light sources. Since
the cable is optimized for a laser
light source, bandwidth increases
to 2000 MHz/km with one.
