Next Generation Cabling
A 1-day overview design to provide a detailed appraisal
of the latest developments in structured IT cabling.
The move towards 10G over copper cabling is gaining
momentum. A completed 10G copper standard should be
available by the summer of 2006. With vendors developing
and installing their own solutions in advance of the
ratified standards, it is vital that network managers,
designers and installers understand the implications
of what the market is offering as 10G solutions.
This one-day briefing provides an independent analysis
of the many options as well as the risks and opportunities
associated with cabling infrastructure for future
data communications and multimedia needs.
