Foreword This Technical Report was prepared by the Techni
8、cal Committee CENELEC TC 215, Electrotechnical aspects of telecommunication equipment. The text of the draft was submitted to vote and was approved by CENELEC as CLC/TR 50173-99-1 on 2007-11-02. This Technical Report provides guidance whether an installed generic cabling channel meeting the requirem
9、ents of EN 50173-1:2007, Class E, will support 10 GBASE-T as specified by IEEE 802.3an. The Technical Report also provides mitigation procedures to improve the performance of Class E channels to the point where the application is supported. Generic cabling channels meeting the requirements of EN 501
10、73-1:2007, Class F, will support IEEE 802.3an up to 100 m without mitigation. The support of IEEE 802.3an includes additional parameters and an extended frequency range beyond Class E. Conformance of installed cabling beyond the original cabling specifications must be determined on a case-by-case ba
11、sis, and is primarily needed due to new external noise requirements. Whether these requirements are met by a specific channel is influenced by the components and installation practices used. As IEEE 802.3an uses frequencies above those specified for Class E of EN 50173-1:2007, input from supplier an
12、d installer may be helpful to evaluate the performance of installed Class E channels. This Technical Report takes into account the design goals for IEEE 802.3an (10 GBASE-T) equipment such as: a) frequency signal range up to 500 MHz; b) meet EMC limits specified for EN 55022:2006, Class A; NOTE Whil
13、e IEEE 802.3an specifies an application to meet Class A on unshielded cabling, meeting Class B may require application specific equipment and/or cabling that exceeds the requirements of this TR respectively. c) support a bit error rate of 1012; d) support operation over four-connector, four-pair bal
14、anced cabling. It is expected that IEEE 802.3an will be supported by the following cabling channels specified in EN 50173-1:2007: Class F channels will support IEEE 802.3an to distances of at least 100 m; Class E channels using screened Category 6 components and assessed and mitigated according to t
15、he guidelines in this Technical Report will support IEEE 802.3an over distances up to 100 m; Class E channels assessed and mitigated according to the guidelines in this Technical Report are expected to support IEEE 802.3an over distances from 55 m up to 100 m using unscreened Category 6 components.
16、In order to provide normative cabling specifications in explicit support of IEEE 802.3an, an amendment to EN 50173-1:2007 is under consideration. This amendment will provide new channel specifications that will include all characteristics needed to meet and/or exceed the IEEE 802.3an requirements (C
17、lass EAand Class FA).

27、 50173, several new parameters are required to specify the electrical transmission properties of the channel. EN 50173-1 defines ACR and ELFEXT as: The S/N ratio of the noise in the disturbed pair to the signal in the disturbing pair. The definition in EN 50173-1 is correct for cabling. IEEE 802.3an
28、 defines these parameters slightly different: The S/N ratio of the noise in the disturbed pair to the signal in the disturbed pair. This is of course the definition of importance for electrical systems. For equally long channels the values of both definitions are nearly the same, but if the channels
29、 have different length the values based on IEEE 802.3an and EN 50173-1:2007 are different. To align with IEEE 802.3an it was decided in February 2006 to change the naming and definition in their cabling standard of some noise related items. The limits stay the same so backward compatibility is assur
30、ed (see Table 1 for summary). Crosstalk and power sum crosstalk are well defined in EN 50173-1:2007. As cables are laid in trays, ducts and/or are bundled together, the noise from one cable can couple into other cables. This can happen between telecommunications cables of the same category, but also
31、 between cables with different categories or even between signal or power line cables and telecommunications cables. This type of noise is well known in telephony and existing versions of Ethernet over balanced cabling. It has not been a major issue for the systems in use up to now. However, the inc
32、reased frequency range and sensitivity of the IEEE 802.3an transmission cannot neglect this external noise any more. Only the power sum of the noise is of importance and is specified because it is irrelevant from which external pairs or cables the noise is coming from and the noise from external sou
33、rces cannot be compensated for within the specific application addressed here. The power sum computation assumes that the noise is generated by other channels using the same protocol. Disturbances that are created by other protocols (like TV distribution) using the other channels are handled as back
34、ground noise. To determine alien crosstalk noise, the transmitter must therefore be known. In a channel as specified in EN 50173-1, and measured in accordance with EN 50346, the near-end (where the measurement transmitter is) and the far-end (were the measurement receiver is) are known and the terms
35、 NEXT and FEXT are easy to define. For alien crosstalk the term ANEXT or AFEXT can be ambiguous. Therefore new definitions for power sum alien crosstalk noise (near-end and far-end) are introduced (see definitions). It appears that the worst case situation is when a short channel runs in parallel at
36、 either end of a long channel. The short channel with high signals will disturb the long channel receiver where receiving signals have been attenuated due to the insertion loss of the long channel. For this case IEEE 802.3an introduced power backoff strategies. The idea is that a system detects the
37、length of the channel by receiving signal amplitude and reduces the transmitter voltage to decrease alien noise. IEEE 802.3an defines two limits for each of ANEXT and AFEXT that have to be met concurrently (for values see 4.7.1): a) The first limit applies to every pair individually within the distu
38、rbed channel; b) The second limit applies to the average of all four pairs within the disturbed channel. PSANEXT average limit is 2,25 dB more stringent than the PSANEXT limit for each pair within the disturbed channel; PSACR-F average is 4 dB more stringent than the PSACR-F limit for each pair with
39、in the disturbed channel. 5 CLC/TR 50173-99-1:2007If these two limits are not met concurrently tradeoffs can be calculated as explained in Annex B.
