scope:

This Technical Report

a) specifies the transmission performance for channels to support 10 GBASE-T as specified in IEEE 802.3an,

b) specifies the methods to assess whether installed Class E and Class F channels meet IEEE 802.3an requirements,

c) provides mitigation techniques to improve the performance of an existing installation to meet the IEEE 802.3an requirements.

NOTE 1 The channel transmission performance specified in this TR is derived from IEEE 802.3an.

NOTE 2 IEEE 802.3an specifies requirements beyond the frequency range specified for EN 50173-1:2007, Class E, and additional parameters to those specified for Class E and Class F cabling in EN 50173-1:2007.

NOTE 3 This Technical Report does not re-specify the requirements for Class E and Class F channels of EN 50173-1:2007.
