With the development of the standard to support 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T applications, next generation structured copper cabling solutions using shielded twisted-pair cable, patch cords and jacks are able to support a bandwidth of up to 2 GHz (2000 MHz) for small to medium size. While copper cabling has been a reliable choice in the past, the rapid evolution of data center trends has pushed speeds beyond 400Gbps, surpassing the capabilities of traditional copper solutions. Data center cabling strategies are evolving as switches become the backbone of data centers. TIA-942 maps a data center's cabling into six functional areas (ER, MDA, HDA, EDA, IDA, and ZDA) so that moves, adds, and changes happen with less risk and higher uptime. That structured approach is the foundation for reliable connectivity and clean cable pathways in any facility.
