(The new TIA-942 standard for data cores has been in place for nearly a year, and some new standards for 10Gb have also been announced or are under development. Regardless of the standard, however, network architects and cabling builders must find ways to design a data core network that is energy efficient and cost-effective—without sacrificing performance. So, how do you create a data core network infrastructure? What factors should be considered during data core network design? How to determine cabling requirements for a data core? How to Remediate Data Core Cables? How are data core cabling costs calculated? This manual will answer these questions for you.)
