APPENDIX B: EPIM CABLE REQUIREMENTS

Insertion Loss

The maximum insertion loss allowed for a 10BASE-T link is 11.5 dB at all frequencies between 5.0 and 10 MHz. This includes the attenuation of the cables, connectors, patch panels, and reflection losses due to impedance mismatches in the link segment.

Impedance

Cabletron Systems 10BASE-T Twisted Pair products will work on twisted pair cable with 75 to 165 ohms impedance. Unshielded twisted pair cables typically have an impedance of between 85 to 110 ohms.

Shielded twisted pair cables, such as IBM Type 1 cable, can also be used. You should remember that the impedance of IBM Type 1 cable is typically 150 ohms. This increases the signal reflection caused by the cable, but since the cable is shielded, this signal reflection has little effect on the received signal’s quality due to the lack of crosstalk between the shielded cable pairs.

Jitter

Intersymbol interference and reflections can cause jitter in the bit cell timing, resulting in data errors. A 10BASE-T link must not generate more than 5.0 nsec. of jitter. If your cable meets the impedance requirements for a 10BASE-T link, jitter should not be a concern.

Delay

The maximum propagation delay of a 10BASE-T link segment must not exceed 1000 nsec. This 1000 nsec. maximum delay limits the maximum link segment length to no greater than 200 meters.

Crosstalk

Crosstalk is caused by signal coupling between the different cable pairs contained within a multi-pair cable bundle. 10BASE-T transceivers are designed so that the user does not need to be concerned about cable crosstalk, provided the cable meets all other requirements.

Noise

Noise can be caused by either crosstalk or externally induced impulses. Impulse noise may cause data errors if the impulses occur at very specific times during data transmission. Generally, the user need not be concerned about noise. If noise-related data errors are suspected, it may be necessary to either reroute the cable or eliminate the source of the impulse noise.
