10 Gigabit over copper-twisted-pair Ethernet cable is now becoming less expensive to deploy. Extremely high costs kept it out of reach for all but the wealthiest individuals and smaller businesses. This technology has been around since 2004 (ANSI/TIA ratified in 2008). First, A Little Backgroundġ0 Gigabit Ethernet, or 10GBASE-T, is typically the fastest Ethernet link technology found outside of large data centers and still not common.

The main focus of this article is how to test 10 Gigabit Ethernet without having to do something illegal, just to afford the test equipment. At the very least, they have not documented their trials and tribulations for the rest of us! My goal is to help change that, so please keep reading. Up until now, this area has been the purview of professional network engineers and for the most part, they are not talking. Secondarily, there is a distinct lack of information out there about how to test this technology to make sure it’s performing as it should. You see, while the rest of the technology world has been seeing price reductions there is one corner of it that will still cost dearly: test equipment. Not just hairy, but off-the-rails, train-wreck-style hairy. This is where everything gets quite hairy. If yes, the next question is often “How do I test this stuff?” After all, you spent all of this money on new network gear and want to know you got your money’s worth.
