Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :ADCT ADCT Adaptive Discrete Cosine Transform ) (www.adc.com), and Teranetics (www.teranetics.com), a leading provider of silicon solutions, today announced that they have successfully completed joint channel testing for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over Augmented Category 6 and standard Category 6 unshielded twisted pair See twisted pair. (hardware) unshielded twisted pair - (UTP) Normal telephone wire (in the USA). It may be used for computer to computer communications, e.g. using a version of Ethernet or localtalk. It is much cheaper than standard "full-spec" Ethernet cable. (UTP UTP (uridine triphosphate): see uracil. (Unshielded Twisted Pair) See twisted pair. UTP - unshielded twisted pair ) cabling. This comprehensive and functional testing demonstrates the interoperability of both companies' products for this emerging technology. Included were ADC's CopperTen[R] cabling system, believed to be the smallest Augmented Category 6 cable in the industry, and Teranetics' revolutionary TN1010 10GBaseT single-chip PHY See physical layer and physical. . The testing consisted of several channel design variations including scenarios where all cable paths were bundled and wire tied at twice the rate required by industry standards to ensure worst-case installation practices were observed. In addition, scenarios were scrutinized for 10GbaseT improvements. Tests conducted were: * 100 meter, 4-connector long channel with ADC's TrueNet CopperTen cabling; * 26 meter, 4-connector short channel with ADC's TrueNet CopperTen cabling; * 55 meter, 4-connector long channel with ADC's TrueNet Category 6 cabling; and * 15 meter, 4-connector short channel with ADC's TrueNet Category 6 Cabling. All the channels were designed to IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. , TIA (1) (Telecommunications Industry Association, Arlington, VA, www.tiaonline.org) A membership organization founded in 1988 that sets telecommunications standards worldwide. It was originally an EIA working group that was spun off and merged with the U.S. and ISO standards or pending draft standards. ADC's and Teranetics' products can be viewed in a live demonstration in the Ethernet Alliance booth #2265 at Interop 2007 in Las Vegas, May 22-24, at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center The Mandalay Bay Convention Center is one of the largest privately owned and operated convention centers in the world. The 1 million square foot facility is owned by MGM Mirage. It is attached to the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and adjacent to the Mandalay Bay Events Center. . They also will be exhibited in ADC's booth #2056 and Teranetics booth #ER17. "The successful interoperability testing with Teranetics validates our belief that 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology allows data centers and enterprise networks to increase scalability and improve throughput performance," said Jaxon Lang, vice president of product management, structured cabling for ADC. "As a leader in structured cabling solutions, ADC is pleased to partner with Teranetics to provide solutions for next generation networks." ADC and Teranetics are two of more than 30 Ethernet Alliance members who will demonstrate a selection of existing and emerging IEEE 802[R] Ethernet technologies at Interop 2007 in Las Vegas this week. "By working with ADC to achieve product interoperability, we are enabling data center managers to meet their expectations for 10G networking while leveraging their existing copper cabling infrastructure," said Matt Rhodes, Chief Executive Officer for Teranetics. "The full potential of 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology is no longer a future goal but today's reality." About Teranetics Teranetics is a leading provider of silicon solutions that enable significantly higher data rates over structured copper cabling than are currently available in today's Ethernet network environments. Led by a team with exceptional expertise and experience in the development and application of mixed-signal semiconductor solutions and digital communication technologies, Teranetics is the first company to ship a production-ready 10GBASE-T semiconductor designed for next generation network applications.
