Is a “10Gig rated” AMP cabling solution right for your Seattle business?

The manufacturers and standards body have been working for several years on the 10GIG standard for copper and the associated copper product(s).  Most manufacturers have a 10Gig solution now in 2009 however the differences between the products and the construction of the cable is more evident than ever before as we test copper’s limits.  If your company is relocating and you are considering a 10Gig cabling solution for your next facility, we think there are a couple questions to ask yourself.  Is your firm running primarily Gigabit Ethernet (1000BaseT) currently?  Are your users fairly heavy bandwidth users?   Is your next lease longer than 5-7 years or will you own the facility with intention of being in place for a period of 10 years or more?  If the answer to any or all of these questions is “yes”, then ITN would recommend looking at a 10GIG cabling infrastructure like AMP NETCONNECT XG.
