the data cables. It is recommended that cable dressing be done carefully and in compliance with
recommendations in the TIA TSB-155A.
Like 1000BASE-T, 10GBASE-T requires testing of all the crosstalk and return loss parameters
described above, and also ANEXT.
In addition to ANEXT, 10GBASE-T is more sensitive to external electrical noise in the environment.
It is recommended that radio transmitters and other sources of high frequency continuous wave
radio frequency be kept away from LAN cables.
When testing your cabling, be sure to include the patch cables that connect the switch and other
end devices to the patch panels on your site. The patch cables are frequently overlooked when
testing cable and they must also comply with the cabling standards. For 10GBASE-T, Category
6 patch cables are sensitive to movement once link has been established, and could cause link
to drop if moved. Therefore, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends using Category 6A patch
cables, or using cable management options to tie down (dress) the Category 6 patch cables so
they cannot move.
For Conducted and Radiated Immunity in accordance with EN55024, the Aruba 3810M switches
are limited to Performance Criteria A with shielded cables (CAT6/6A).
