The IBDN System 10GX is Belden’s copper UTP solution for 10G applications. It was the first Category 6A structured cabling system in the market place to verify error-free performance for 10GBASE-T during a live, 3rd party demonstration of the performance capabilities for 10GBASE-T technology. The validation trials were performed on a 100-meter 10GX channel in a worst-case, 4-connector channel configuration (as specified in the TIA Category 6A standard). A real-life example of what this means would be the difference of transmitting high resolution pictures (600 dpi) at 20 perminute at 1 Gb/s, versus 200 perminute at 10 Gb/s.
The market’s need for 10G performance is chronicled on the following pages, along with a detailed discussion of the enabling technologies that make the IBDN 10GX Solution the top 10G Technology System in the marketplace today.

Data Center Solutions

Belden and Mulder-Hardenberg knows your data center is much more than a space that simply houses servers and network equipment. Fueled by e-commerce and the IP world we live in today, the data center has become the most critical asset – and investment – for nearly every organization.

It is truly the operations center of your business: housing all themission-critical applications, equipment and systems you need to enable every transaction, communication and task; providing the links to customers, business partners and vendors around the world; and even controlling building environmental, security and life safety systems.

The Role of the Structured Cabling System
Within the data center, a variety of systems support, protect andmanage both current and future equipment, the data transmitted, and the thousands of connections between servers and switches and the outlying areas of the network.
These systems include storage, power distribution, cooling, cabling infrastructure, security and fire protection – and any design decision for one is likely to impact the others. All of these systems are interrelated andmust be part of a unified structured cabling system. As the foundation of the data center, the structured cabling system should be designed considering the following:

• It should have the scalability necessary to outlast two to three generations of active equipment
  
• It should be flexible to facilitate reconfigurations
  
• It should be highly durable to ensure networking performance, reliability and availability

Without a properly designed cabling infrastructure, the data center is in jeopardy. In fact, independent research indicates that while the cabling infrastructure only represents 2 to 5%of a typical IT budget, asmuch as 50% of network problems are related to an inadequate or underperforming cabling infrastructure.
