This report examines the steps that must be followed for the HTI network design using 1 GBPS (1 gigabit per second) over copper cabling.
Gigabit Ethernet has been standardized for fiber optic cable since 1998, but until recently is standardized for category 5 (cat - 5) copper cable, the most widely used cabling medium within buildings. in the past, network managers wanting to go to gigabit speeds were often faced with re - wiring their buildings with flber cable.
Today, with approval of the 1000base - t standard for gigabit Ethernet over copper, gigabit speeds can be widely deployed at less expence using standard cat - 5 cabling.
There is a big move toward gigabit lans (local area networks), organizations are used lans to share applications and equipment across workgroups. Ethernet the networking standard pioneered by intel, digital, and xerox, has become the most commonly used un technology worldwide. more than 85 percent of all installed network connections are Ethernet, according to international data corporation (IDC).
In the past few years, high-bandwidth applications and high - speed communications between networked users have driven major increases in desktop computing power, first to fast Ethernet (100mbps) and now to gigabit Ethernet (1000mbps).
The IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard for gigabit Ethernet on category 5 copper is the 1000base - t ratificated in June 1999. most of the cabling installed today inside buildings is category 5. the IEEE has written the 1000base - t standard for gigabit ethernet operation over the category 5 cabling systems installed according to the specifications of ANSI/TIA/EIA – 568A (1995). there should be no need to replace existing category 5 cabling to use 1000base - t. gigabit Ethernet is Ethernet that provides speeds of 1000mbps - one billion bits per second. it uses the same frame for-mat and media access control technology as all other 802.3 Ethernet technologies. it also uses me same 802.3 full - duplex Ethernet technology and 802.3 flow control.
Also the three important reasons to deploy gigabit Ethernet for greater bandwidth at the backbone are:
• Gigabit Ethernet delivers the scalable performance of Ethernet technology.
• Gigabit Ethernet leverages the installed base of Ethernet equipment.
• Gigabit Ethernet leverages the historical cost drivers of Ethernet switching equipment.
So we see the great advantages of gigabit Ethernet when using the 1000base - t standard, which is a standard for the category 5 cable usage instead of fiber which is more expensive.
By using 1000base - t standard we have higher speeds (1000mbps), bigger bandwidth and maybe the most important of all the price. copper cable is much less expensive than fiber.
We can apply the standards talled above for the HTI network design by looking carefully the steps that should be followed for network design using 1GBPS over copper cabling, the most important standards that should be used, by finding the right equipment (cables, connectors, switches etc) and follow the right installation methods.
