[802.3_NGBASET] 40GBASE-T cabling channel webex

 
Colleagues,
 
Wayne Larsen and I agreed to champion the cabling channel MDI-to-MDI efforts using the strawman process slides as a starting point  (http://www.ieee802.org/3/bq/public/channelmodeling/zimmerman_02_0513_40GBTah.pdf)
 
To coordinate efforts and to begin building consensus like to schedule weekly conference calls starting June 7 - 8 AM PST (webex to follow). 
 
Proposed agenda:
Discussion; Modeling and supporting measurements of "possible channel configurations" in http://www.ieee802.org/3/bq/public/channelmodeling/zimmerman_02_0513_40GBTah.pdf.
>>Modeling methodology - volunteers
>>Measurements - volunteers
>>Timelines
 
Regards,
802.3bq cabling champions

Possible Channel Configurations
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
•“X-Axis” – Cable classes
–A: ISO Class 1, up to 30m (x-y-z)
–B: ISO Class 2, up to 30m (x-y-z)
–C: TIA Category 8, up to 30m (x-y-z)
•Can this be merged with A?
•“Y-Axis” – Topologies/lengths
–D: Short channels
•150mm-3m-150mm (“really short”) – Worst case reflection #1
•0.5m-3m-0.5m (“pretty short”) - Worst case reflection #2
•3m - Endpoint to TOR
•5m TOR-adjacent
–E: Other target channels
•1m-10m-1m (ISO short reference channel)
•30m
•30m single patch cord (assuming there is one that meets IL…)
•30m asymmetric #1 (1m-26m-3m) – Data center configuration #1
•30m asymmetric #3 (1m-24m-5m) – Data center configuration #2

Esteemed Colleagues,

Materials from the May 17th channel modeling ad hoc are posted at:

http://www.ieee802.org/3/bq/public/channelmodeling/index.html

 

As discussed during that meeting, the next ad hoc meeting will be Wednesday, June 5th 2013 at 8:00AM PDT. 

Stay tuned for meeting information from Pete & Brad.

 

Thank you for your participation and contributions toward making 802.3bq the most fun project in 802.3!

 

David Chalupsky
