Hello Everyone, I have to pitch a customer netgear model that support 10G ethernet Switch.. But i have doubt that it support 10G with CAT6A with 90 mtrs?? I have seen other vendors details al...
Hello Jasmeet,
You are mixing different facts here.
- Standards compliant 10GBASE-T switch ports are able to drive 100 meters on CAT6A (or better) copper links.
- Standards compliant 10GBASE-T switch ports might be workable ~55 meters on CAT6 (your mileage might vary), I'm not suggesting this usage.
- Standards compliant 10GBASE-T switch ports might be workable up to some ~30 meters on CAT5E (not suggested, your mileage might vary highly), I'd sugsest to avoid this if possible.
- SFP+ plugged 10GBASE-T transciever modules can support limited reach only - this is because of the SFP/SFP+ specs does not offer enough power for driving the full reach, this is where again ~30 meters (CAT6A or better suggested) are coming from.
This is about it.
