B-61000BASE-T Cable Requirements

All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX connections

should also work for 1000BASE-T, providing that all four wire pairs are

connected. However, it is recommended that for all critical connections, or

any new cable installations, Category 5e (enhanced Category 5) or

Category 6 cable should be used. The Category 5e specification includes

test parameters that are only recommendations for Category5. Therefore,

the first step in preparing existing Category 5 cabling for running

1000BASE-T is a simple test of the cable installation to be sure that it

complies with the IEEE 802.3ab standards.

Cable Testing for Existing Category 5 Cable

Installed Category 5 cabling must pass tests for Attenuation, Near-End

Crosstalk (NEXT), and Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT). This cable testing

information is specified in the ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-67 standard.

Additionally, cables must also pass test parameters for Return Loss and

Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT). These tests are specified in the

ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-95 Bulletin, “The Additional Transmission

Performance Guidelines for 100 Ohm 4-Pair Category 5 Cabling.”

Note that when testing your cable installation, be sure to include all patch

cables between switches and end devices.

Adjusting Existing Category 5 Cabling to Run 1000BASE-T

If your existing Category 5 installation does not meet one of the test

parameters for 1000BASE-T, there are basically three measures that can be

applied to try and correct the problem:

1. Replace any Category 5 patch cables with high-performance Category

5e or Category 6 cables.

2. Reduce the number of connectors used in the link.

3. Reconnect some of the connectors in the link.
