Troubleshooting Cat 6 & Cat 6A Structured Copper Cabling Systems
If a Category 6 cabling system does not meet the electrical requirements for supporting 10GBASE-T
applications, see the TSB-155 provides guidelines designed to mitigate the alien crosstalk between the
target pair and the disturbing pairs of Category 6 channels and permanent links. Annex B of TSB-155
outlines the following mitigation actions most appropriate for individual situations:
Use Category 6 shielded or Category 6A patch cords;
Replace Category 6 connectors with Category 6A connectors;
Use non-adjacent patch panel positions;
Separate equipment cords and patch cords;
Unbundle or more loosely bundle the horizontal cabling; and
Reconfigure the cross-connect as an interconnect.
