10G Connectivity Online Resource Center

Copper unshielded twisted pair at 10G and beyond – it's over.

If you plan to deploy or migrate your network to 10G, don't let those bulky, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper cables fool you. Complex to design with and to install, UTP copper cables create more issues than they resolve at 10G and beyond. The real facts are: unshielded copper twisted pair at higher data rates, including 10G, is over complicated, overweight, overheated and over capacity. In the data center in particular, it's time to get over copper and make the move to fiber optics.
