10GBASE-T/1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX Port
10GBASE-T/1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX
is a port that supports self-adaptation of three rates, and
automatic MDI/MDIX Crossover at these three rates.
10GBASE-T complies with IEEE 802.3an standard, and the supported cables and cabling distances
are listed in the following table. 10GBASE-T port uses four pairs of wires for transmission, all of
which must be connected. The following table shows the connection of the twisted pairs used
by the 10GBASE-T port.

Description
Meet the minimum performance requirements of
10GBASE-T standard.
Strictly follow TSB-155 standard
requirements to ensure the
reliable application of 10GBASE-
T.
The maximum transmission distance will be less than 37m when CAT6 UTP unshielded wire
is exposed in severe condition and influenced by external crosstalk.
It is recommended to use CAT6A shielded wire or wires with higher specifications for the
cabling of the new equipment room. CAT6A or CAT7 shielded wire can maximize the
avoidance of external crosstalks. Note the cabling system and the overall grounding when
shielded wire is used.
Now that CAT6A unshielded wire or CAT6 wire is applied in the cabling of the equipment
room. The cabling must meet TSB-155 requirements. And the recommended cabling rules
are as follows:
1) Avoid mixed cabling with other cables, or use metal clapboard in the trunking to isolate
different wires.
