4 The data transmission according to Gigabit-Ether- net 1000BaseT is based on a “full-duplex principle“  – i.e. via all cable pairs at the same time and paral- lel in both directions (bi-directional). This results in  numerous closely tolerated transmission character- istics for cabling in future requirements. The most  important characte - ristics for the future are: PS- NEXT, PS-ELFEXT and PS-ACR.  Convincing PowerSum The major reason for interference in local networks is the NEXT (Near End Crosstalk). This effect is caused by mutual influence (coupling) of pairs next to each other.  The higher the transmission performance the strong-er the interference. In modern network applications being based on a bi-directional data transmission,  Cabling for future requirements the inter - ference increases. Power Sum (PS) values can be calculated for all relevant characteristics. In times of high data rates they allow indications of the performance and transmission capabilities of a data cable. For example, a high PS-NEXT is important for users. Due to the core stranding and the patented foil screening, the high-end cables of our UC1500 series reach values being nearly 30 dB better than required by the CAT 7 standard. These resources are also for your benefit. Standards The received signal is decisive for all highspeed networks. Here, the FEXT (Far End Crosstalk) meas-ures the crosstalk at the receiver. Due to the cable attenuation, the FEXT is substantially lower than the NEXT.  The more meaningful characteristics ELFEXT (Equal Level Far End Crosstalk) for the transmission per-formance can be obtained by deducting the insertion loss from the FEXT value. The resultant PowerSum then is PS-ELFEXT.

Undisturbed signals The chart shows the inference caused by NEXT and FEXT under realistic conditions and with full utilisa-tion of Gigabit Ethernet. A transfer of information is only possible when the encoded data can be recog-nised, i.e. the attenuated signal at the receiver must be considerably stronger than the constant interfer-ence signal NEXT. Only the application of data cables with optimum channel separation protects against unintended inference and thus represents the condi-tion for the full utilisation of the advantages of mod-ern network application. Relevant characteristics The central characteristics of a passive network is the ACR (Attenuation Crosstalk Ratio). The ACR shows the attenuation ratio in proportion to the crosstalk ratio. The quality of the transmission is determined by the signal-to-noise ratio (sum of all in-terferences). Thus, the PS-ACR (cable signal-to-noise ratio) is the relevant characteristics for the assess-ment of the transmission capacity. Minimum ACR A minimum ACR of 10 dB is required for highest signal frequencies. The higher the frequency the lower the ACR. Example: For our data cable UC1500, the meas-urement result shows that the near-end-crosstalk attenuation is on such a low level that it can hardly be traced.

Transmission Parameters already laid out by 1000Ba-seT are enough for the increase with only one extra test required, Exogeneous (alien) Xtalk (electrical noise). Error detection Ethernet works because of Error Detection Systems. The receiving end will poll until transmission is cor-rect. If a system is noisy the error detection will re-transmit the same information many times, slowing every transmission: there is a point at which the sys-tem will fail. 10G has the smallest safety (fail) margin. The components have to be good. Margin In standardisation the margin is built in to ensure plug and play works first time. 100m of cabling is guaranteed to work using components that are manufactured to the standard. The margin is steadily becoming smaller, 10G is almost non–existent, as the error detection systems cannot work above a certain noise level. As bandwidth increases so does noise, no matter how good components are. The min. cabling standard is the lowest minimum possible, the TIA be-ing the lowest, and can always be improved which is Draka’s intention.   Exogenous (Alien) Xtalk  Alien Xtalk is the disturbance (noise) coupled onto a transmitting signal pair from all the other transmit-ting pairs (all other systems plus 10G). Space between the pairs does decrease the level of noise, and can be seen in the graph, that a U/UTP with help (distance increased) nearly passes the test. 100Mbit BER fail… Safety Margin 1GBit 10GBit Min. cabling standard 10 GBASE-T Performance 10Giga bit Ethernet is simply the next protocol  above 1000BaseT and is 10 times faster, 10 times  more bandwidth, higher performance. Using the  same full duplex systems copper cabling delivers bi- directional transmission rates at 250MHz per pair.  

7 Screening Methods to increase margin can involve screening. The exogenous Xtalk coupling devices can be fully deterred by earthing the mutual signal path. Patented foil systems already used by Draka deliver exactly the ultimate level of screening required. In this situation, and as written in the standards, the test for exog-enous xtalk is unnecessary for screened cables with good screening attenuation performance. UTP Space was mentioned earlier as a method of lessen-ing effects from coupling signals. Using imagina-tive shaped jacket’s are possible to decrease signal interference, however the interference is still being allowed. Decreasing the expected signal interference might be successful in the lab but what of the real situation of installed cable with limited safety margin? The patent Draka Technology: ZEBRA (Zero Earth-loop By Reflectorfoil Application) We understand how screening functions and lead in this market area. The world market is however U/UTP. With our ZEBRA technology Draka combines for the first time advantages of screened protection in an unscreened cable. •   protected by closely placed foil segments •   short foil segments avoid antenna effect •   avoidence of loop currents by  segmentation isolation 10G axtalk Draka Comteq ZEBRA 2 9 46 60 9 1 11 9 13 6 150 18 1 2 0 9 2 2 6 2 40 2 7 1 2 9 9 3 15 3 3 0 3 6 0 3 8 3 405 4 2 0 4 5 0 4 7 9 4 9 5 5 10 54 0 56 9 5 8 5 2 9 46 60 9 1 11 9 13 6 150 18 1 2 0 9 2 2 6 2 4 0 2 7 1 2 9 9 3 15 3 3 0 3 6 0 3 8 3 405 4 2 0 4 5 0 4 7 9 4 9 5 5 10 54 0 56 9 5 8 5 MHz Performance This combination keeps the cable comparably small and easy to install – just like a U/UTP should be.

8 Patented solutions A compact and solid cable construction guarantees low attenuation and minimum reflections for the whole frequency range. Due to the high requirements on attenuation, crosstalk and consistency of the im-pedance, we only use stranded wires or larger copper conductors for the production of our UC cables. For Cable-Sharing, i.e. several applications on one cable, the pair and overall screening is the best cable construction. With its aluminium-laminated plastic foil and patented foil screening, our cables of series UC400, UC500 and UC1500 guarantee an optimum pair screening. With conductor diameters of 0.56 mm (AWG23) and 0.64 (AWG22), foam-skin core insula-tions enable us to achieve lowest core diameters. We are of course certified according to ISO 9001, ad-ditionally we practise environmental management in line with ISO EN 14001. Return Loss Modern network applications require highquality cables as manufactured here at Draka Comteq. Slight deviations within the insulation material lead to irregularities on the transmission link and cause reflections. This ‘return loss‘ arises when parts of the transmission signal at the deviation are returned to the transmitter due to reflection. Perfection and Quality Only a cable ensuring optimum ratios with all char- acteristics can offer the full performance spectrum.  Our multimedia cables go through a constant manu- facturing process with extremely close tolerances.  With development and production, our emphasis lies  on high-quality materials and the state-of-the-art  manufacturing processes. Thus we are able to guar- antee excellent performance and reliability. 

9 Propagation Delay and Delay Skew Due to the increased requirements on Gigabit Ether-net the propagation delay and the delay skew become more important. The delay skew is the transmission time difference of two or more pairs. With the twisted lengths designed by us, our UC data cables achieve a minimum propagation delay and delay skew of less than 12 ns/100m. Also with great application lengths, this means full capacity for high-speed applications with synchronous transmission over all 4 pairs. Transmission reliability Due to the high data rates, data transmission is in-creasingly subject to interferences. Low quality ca-bles generate additional interferences and the risk of transmission failure increases.  Despite high-speed applications, existing data rates and the network capacity are not fully used. There-fore, you can rely now on our highquality data cables with hardly any risk of interference.

10 Reliability and Noise Immunity For many years, “electromagnetic compatibility“  (EMC) has been a must for electric equipment. So  far the main problem was external interferences in- fluencing system’s causing failure. With high-quality  cabling a new problem arises: the Alien Crosstalk  (crosstalk of one cable’s transmission on all pairs  next to another cable’s receiving signal path on a  single pair). Screening efficiency EMC stands for the capability of a system to work without having a negative influence (emission of interference) on other systems.  With our Universal Cable series we offer a wide range of installation and connection cables with an optimum screening factor. This ensures the compliance with EMC regulations and the protection of your system. Noise Immunity Our screened symmetric cables are known for their high noise immunity and low emission of interfer- ence – as shown by the standards EN 55022 Class B and EN 50082-1.  Moreover, leading manufacturers of LAN components certify that there is no emission of interference and a high network reliability with our Cat.5e to Cat.7 cables when applied at 100 Mbit/s. Screening factors The application of high-quality materials and the screening factor are decisive for an optimum screening.  Complying with the respective EMC requirements, our screened UC cables are available in the following quality options:  •   S (Screen): Overall screen of  aluminium-laminated foil  •   HS (High Screen): Highly screened with  aluminium-laminated foil and tinned copper braid  •   SS (Super Screen): Pair screen with  aluminium-laminated foil and overall screen with tinned copper braid  The application of highly screened cables saves ad-justments in case of further installations. This means for you a very cost effective cabling solution for now and the future.

Uninfluenced More and more important in practice: The interfer-ence of reliable data transmission by mutual influence of unscreened and undefined communication cables. The degree of the mutual influence is called “Alien Crosstalk“. Although this value is not recorded with link tests, it reduces the ACR like a normal NEXT.  At 100 MHz, the Alien Crosstalk of two unscreened Cat.6 cables laid in parallel amounts to 55 dB, where-as it reaches 95 dB with screened cables. This can be of relevance at the patch panel where a tight bundling of the cables is necessary.

12 Protecting LSHF sheath All UC cables are also available with halogenfree and flame retardant LSHF sheath. Excellent materials guarantee best electrical and mechanical properties of the cable.  For many years, flame retardance has been among  the minimum requirements of indoor cables. Some  PVC cables were often used in the past – PVC is less  flammable than other materials, but they do not  prevent a spread of fire. They release toxic and cor- rosive gases when burnt. The alternative: High-qual- ity LSHF (Low-Smoke-Helogen-Free) materials with  considerably improved properties in case of fire.  Prevention with future prospects The ability of our cables to avoid a spread of fire is documented by two standardized test methods: The fire characteristics of a single cable is determined according to IEC 60332-1. Test method C of IEC 60332-3-24 tests the characteristics of cable bundles. These tests are performed under realistic conditions in the field of structured cabling in buildings, e.g. in the distribution room or void. All our UC cables with LSHF-FR sheath fully comply with this significantly stricter standard (test method C).  It is dependent on the respective building or field of application whether to decide for a data transmission cable according to test method B or C. In case of any doubt, however, security ranks first and you should prefer the data cable with the flame retardant prop-erties. Improved fire protection characteristics •   No spread of (fire propagation), e.g. transmission  of the local fire alongside the cables  •   No emission of corrosive gases, possibly creating  acid with extinguishing water  •   Very low smoke development  •   No Dioxin in the fire remains  •   Considerably low toxicology of fire gases

13 Test method C passed A cable bundle is exposed to a 20kW flame for 20 minutes in a 4 meter high cabinet. The cables burn within the range of the propane gas flame (up to 1 me-ter), however, the cable bundle extinguishes itself and the remaining cable length remains without damage: No fire propagation, no excessive smoke development which would, in case of emergency, obstruct chances to escape. For comparison: Under the same condi-tions, some PVC cables burn completely within 5 minutes over the entire length.  Safety Highest precautionary measures as to the cabling apply at crowded places (e.g. hospitals, airports, schools, department stores, hotels), in buildings with a high concentration of commodity values and wher-ever a breakdown would involve high expenses (e.g. industrial plants, power stations, EDP centres, banks) as well as in alarm, signal and control sytems. Fire Protection Material of the future Currently, the application of fluorinated polymers as insulation material is under discussion. It is known for its extremely high thermal stability and flame retardance. However, in case of emergency this ma-terial releases highly toxic and corrosive fire gases despite the considerably improved fire resistance compared to PVC. Also in future, only LSHF materials represent a responsible alternative.
