Mohawk introduces its redesigned GigaLAN 10reduced OD. The reduced .295” OD offers enhancedflexibility and installation ease into conduit. The cableoffers a cost-effective solution for high bandwidthapplications from desktop to data centers. It is usedfor Horizontal Cabling Systems as described in DraftTIA 568-B.2-10 and Draft ISO/IEC 11801 Class EA.Primary markets benefiting from this product includeData Centers, Healthcare, Education and Financialsectors.

Mohawk’s GigaLAN 10 is the highest performanceCategory 6A UTP cable which supports 10GBASE-T(10 Gigabit Ethernet) applications over a full 100-meterchannel and provides 750 MHz confirmed stability.The unique FlexWeb® combined with a patented flutedjacket construction isolates cable pairs and offersoutstanding pair-to-pair balance for superior head-room. Designed specifically for 10GBASE-T applica-tions, GigaLAN 10 is also fully backward compatiblefor 100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet) and 1000BASE-T(Gigabit Ethernet) applications. The cable designexceeds specified component stipulations of the TIAAugmented Category 6 proposed standard whichprovides and added measure of performance.

GigaLAN 10 is constructed of #23 AWG solid barecopper insulated conductors assembled into four tight-ly twisted pairs with the FlexWeb core separator and aripcord under a special overall jacket. Mohawk’sdesign combining the patented FlexWeb core separatorreduces the effects of internal crosstalk and the innova-tive jacket maximizes Alien Crosstalk performance.This performance is ensured through the design

and manufacturing phase adhering to ISO 9001standards. The cable exceeds Draft TIA 568-B.2-10and Draft ISO/IEC 11801 Class EA. The Plenum cableis listed as C(UL)US Type CMP and the Non-Plenumcable is listed as C(UL)US Type CMR (pending).

In accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC),conduit fill is limited to 40% which has become a LANindustry installation practice. GigaLAN 10’s reducedOD size addresses pathway and space concerns byallowing a greater number of cables into the conduit.The difference in OD size and number of cables isillustrated below:

GigaLAN 10 GigaLAN 10 Reduced OD

Old OD = .320” New OD = .295”

1” conduit = 4 cables 1” conduit = 4 cables

1.5” conduit = 9 cables 1.5” conduit = 10 cables

2” conduit = 15 cables 2” conduit = 18 cables

3” conduit = 35 cables 3” conduit = 41 cables

4” conduit = 62 cables 4” conduit = 73 cables

The National Electrical Code also has standards fortray fill and number of cables required for current andfuture needs. With a 4” deep cable tray, the differencebetween OD size is illustrated below:

GigaLAN 10 GigaLAN 10 Reduced OD

Old OD = .320” New OD = .295”

12” cable tray = 477 cables 12” cable tray = 562 cables

24” cable tray = 955 cables 24” cable tray = 1124 cables

36” cable tray = 1432 cables 36” cable tray = 1686 cables

In addition to increased cable conduit and traycapacity, the reduced OD design improves theproduct’s bend radius from 1.3” to 1.25”. This createseasier installation solutions for closets and workstation outlets.

GigaLAN 10 is secured by Mohawk’s Open ArchitectureSolutions Warranty. It offers an end-to-end GigaLAN10 GbE 25-year warranty with an extensive connectivitypartner list for Plenum and Non-Plenum installations.The warranty also guarantees performance complianceto the 10 Gigabit draft IEEE 802.3an.
