Characteristics of Category 8 Cabling

Category 8 offers four times the bandwidth of Category 6A cabling, with internal impairments specified up to 2GHz; alien impairments are also specified up to 2GHz. Structured Cabling Components If shielding and length limitations are put aside, Category 8 is fundamentally the same cabling system as prior categories; it is simply made to perform at […]

Is 100W 4PPoE just a subtle blowtorch for RJ45 panels?

1.) What effect will 100W 4-pair PoE have on RJ45 connectivity? As put forth by a recent technology white paper from Panduit: “The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) document, TSB-184, Guidelines for Supporting Power Delivery Over Balanced Twisted-Pair Cabling provides guidance for installing cables that run PoE with currents up to 600 mA on two pairs.
