Category 8 cabling is designed to operate at 2 GHz, and for anyone unfamiliar with shielded cable installation and testing, now is a good time to start learning. The good news for installers is that Category 8 systems will use the familiar RJ45 connector.
Although the application is intended to be a 24-meter permanent link with two 3-meter equipment cables at each end, the standard will also include some derating factors for equipment cables with different gauges.
Another trend is the use of fiber optics within business facilities. Many organizations are installing fiber as the demand for bandwidth continues to increase. According to a report on the fiber optic components market by Global Industry Analysts Inc.
The global market for fiber components is estimated to reach $ 42 trillion by the year 2017. Growth will be driven by ever-increasing demand for bandwidth and consequently the need for fiber-based bandwidth, as well as strong growth in mobile Internet and other factors, the firm says.
