The demand for higher bandwidths such as 40Gb/s in data centers is rising and is currently implemented over multi-fiber links However, this is expensive over short distances as in a ToR (Top of Rack / Top of Row) topology for the high costs of active electronics involved, i.e. transmission over copper cabling for short distances would save costs It is highly probable that copper cabling in support of these bandwidths will be installed within the next two to three years The Cat 8 / Class I & II discussion leaves still question marks

Certification refers to the verification of the compliance of products/services and their manufacturing processes with relevant standards. In contrast to accreditation, general certification is attested by the issuance of a certificate In network technology, this certification has to be performed compliant with EN50173 (topology/limits), EN50174 (quality plan), EN50436 (tester specs) or ISO/IEC11801 and typically requires the use of devices priced at around 8000 € and higher Testers as for instance … Psiber Data WireXpert Series

Reflection is caused by physical defects in the component or the cable run. Far End Crosstalk (FEXT) Signal coupling from one pair of wires into another pair in the same cable at the far-end. This measurement is not reported, but needed for calculation of ACR-F

Latest developments in chip technology enable new approaches. (What is feasible today, was unthinkable just 5 years ago) By the use of the latest IC technology and by parallel processing of measurement signals. Using fast parallel DSPs for filtering can dramatically reduce the time needed for testing At the same time measurement frequencies can be significantly raised or expanded (e.g. 2.5 GHz) Block Diagram: Modern Tester Enabling Parallel Signal Processing
