Emerging, high bandwidth services and the adoption of higher speed Ethernet standards, like Gigabit Ethernet and now 10 Gigabit Ethernet, are creating an environment where Internet Protocol (IP) and the delivery of advanced IP services like Voice over IP, IP videoconferencing and IP-based security are becoming common applications. Increasingly, voice, data and video networks are being converged onto a single infrastructure and the demand for reliability and Quality of Service (QoS) has never been greater. A reliable high-performance structured cabling system, built to handle these bandwidth intensive applications, is the fundamental asset required to enable today's leading organizations to increase productivity and sales while decreasing operational costs. Specifically, a structured cabling system capable of delivering 10Gb/s services is the minimum requirement to ensure future compatibility with emerging services. To this end, The Siemon Company has created the 10G ip Cabling System.
