Introduction
In this article we will talk about the 10GBASE-CR Ethernet standard and what is the difference between 10GBASE-CR and 10GBASE-T, All this just to give you more understanding about 10GBASE-CR technology.
What is the 10GBASE-CR technology?
10GBASE-CR is invented before 10GBASE-T. 10GBASE-CR can support 10G data rate up to 10 meters over twinax copper cable.
What is the Difference Between 10GBASE-CR and 10GBASE-T?
10GBASE-T has the greatest advantages on transmission distances (up to 100m over Cat6a). Although 10GBASE-CR can only reach up to 15 meters over twinax copper cable, it has great advantages on cable costs. In addition, most of our data center use for copper cabling is less than 15 meters, which means 10GABSE-CR can satisfy most requirements for copper cabling in data centers. Thus, 10GABSE-CR is suggested for most 10G copper cabling cases.
