10 Gigabit Ethernet Standard
Support for the IEEE 802.3ae 10-Gigabit Ethernet standard has been added to the FiberMeter Link Wizard,
which means that users can now certify their 10GbE networks.
With this new standard, users are given the option of choosing from one of several versions of this standard,
based on the fiber type, wavelength, and 10GbE electronics used. Below is a summary of the various 10GbE
standards as they are defined in the FiberMeter.
In order to choose the correct standard in the FiberMeter Link Wizard, it is important to know the specifications
of the fiber under test, especially the fiber type and modal bandwidth.
If these specifications are unknown, contact the optical fiber manufacturer for more details.
