10GbaseT is the most sensitive application developed for copper cabling so far.
Nexans is one of the major suppliers of UTP into the market, but for 10GBaseT the advantages
often associated with UTP become void and the benefits of screened solutions are overwhelming:
Testing and Verification
At best 10G UTP solutions are only marginally compliant for alien crosstalk and therefore need to be tested - but this is impossible to test in the field today.
Nexans screened solutions pass the alien crosstalk requirements with massive headroom so you can be confident that installed systems will be compliant.
Cost
UTP is not necessarily cheaper than a screened system for 10Gig. The technology required to eliminate alien crosstalk in UTP is comparable with the cost of screening.
10G UTP is also physically larger than FTP so will require more containment and the larger patchcords require extra management reducing cabinet densities.
Ease of Installation
Screened 10G systems are easier to install than 10G UTP solutions. Nexans LANmark-6 10G is physically smaller with a smaller bend radius than most of the 10G UTP solutions on the market.
Nexans cords are small, flexible and come in standard lengths whereas 10G
UTP cords often have large solid conductors and minimum or set lengths only.
By providing the most practical and cost effective risk free solutions available why take the risk with anything else?
