Cabling Practices Affecting Performance• Connector Termination Practices

− Use proper category of cable and matching components− Category 5 = < 13mm (0.5”) amount of untwist− Strip only enough cable jacket as necessary

• Patch Cable and Connector Consistency− Use of pre-terminated patch cables

• Cable Management Practices− Eliminate cable stress caused by tension & cinching− Keep cable bend radii no less than 4 times the cable

diameter− No more than 30 m or (2) 90º bends in a single conduit pull

• Maximum Channel Length− 100 meters

Nominal Velocity of Propagation (NVP)

The speed at which a signal travels in a cable, expressed as a percentage of the speed of light in vacuum.

NVP =speed at which pulse travels in cable

speed of light in vacuum X 100%

Speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s or 0.3 m/nsec

• Skew is the difference in propagation delay between the fastest and slowest pairs in a cable.

Signal-to-noise ratios (3)

• There are three quantities which affect signal-to-noise ratio (SNR):

• Attenuation to Crosstalk Ratio (ACR).• Equal Level Far End Crosstalk

(ELFEXT).• Return Loss.

144

Signal-to-noise ratio #1: ACR

• Attenuation to Crosstalk Ratio (ACR)• Applicable to 2-wire pair LAN

applications (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX).

• Each wire pair carries signal in one direction only.

Power Sum Performance

Pair-to-pair:Single disturberSingle receiver

Power sum:Multiple disturbersSingle receiver

• Power sum performance is the sum of the pair-to-pair performance of the component or system.

• Power sum NEXT performance should meet or exceed the existing TIA pair-to-pair NEXT requirements.

154

What is “power sum” NEXT and “power sum” ELFEXT?

• Both are computed values from measured pair to pair NEXT or ELFEXT results:− Power Sum NEXT computed from three

pair-to-pair NEXT results− Power Sum ELFEXT is computed from

three pair-to-pair ELFEXT results

• Often required when more than 2 wire pairs are transmitting signals in the same direction (1 Gbps Ethernet).

155

When are “power sum” NEXT and “power sum” ELFEXT needed?

• Often required when more than 2 wire pairs are transmitting signals in the same direction (1 Gbps Ethernet).

• Significant if 25-pair cables are used (split up in six 4-pair links).

• May also be used to reflect crosstalk between separate 4-pair cables in a cable bundle.

Data Measurement

• Test equipment manufacturer access cords and adapters should be used in link testing

• User cords should be tested in place for channel testing, and be used in that channel only

• Any reconfiguration of components must be re-tested to verify conformance

• Inspect the connecting hardware for wear and tear resulting from multiple mating cycles

160

Data Administration & Reporting• Pass or Fail result for each parameter should be

determined by comparison with the allowable limits

• Overall Pass is determined by passing all of the individual tests

• Overall Fail is determined by failing at least one of the individual tests

• Whether Pass or Fail, pair, frequency and test limit at the worst-case should be reported

• Pass condition - either the worst-case margin or worse-case data point should be reported

• Fail condition - the worse-case margin should be reported− Multiple Fail - the worse-case at the highest frequency point
