The GiGabiT Threshold Will Fall
Not long ago, 100 Mbps seemed like enough. 
Then Gigabit seemed like enough. Today, when 
it comes to planning a cabling infrastructure, 
10Gbps has emerged as the next step for satiating 
enterprise network bandwidth requirements.
There always has been—and always will be— 
a need for more bandwidth. Data-intensive 
applications such as network storage and sharing 
of imaging and engineering documents alone can 
stretch the limits of a cabling system. 
Yet what promises to incite bandwidth growth 
on a broader scale is the explosion of IP-based 
applications: VoIP, WiFi, industrial Ethernet, IPTV, 
video conferencing, security cameras, HVAC and 
lighting controls, RFID, access controls, badge 
readers, and many others on the shelf and in 
the lab. This cumulative effect of more IP-based 
applications is propelling more data over the 
structured cabling system—and demanding more 
bandwidth to support these applications.
Historically, a LAN cabling system endures multiple 
replacements of switches, routers, PCs, and 
other active electronics. On average, the cabling 
system remains intact through three generations 
of networking gear. With a life cycle of 15 or 
more years, the LAN cabling system installed 
today is expected to support the next networking 
protocol. This was the case with Category 5e and 
Category 6. This will be true with 10Gbps cabling 
systems, too.
With Augmented Category 6 standards to be  
adopted in 2006, Gigabit is no longer the plan-
ning target for building the 15-year structured 
cabling system.
