The 10GX Modular Jacks is a revolutionary punch down UTP connector designed to be used within the Belden IBDN System 10GX. To allow for data-rates of 10 Gb/s, the signal needs to be transmitted at frequencies up to a minimum of 500 MHz, as compared with Category 6 transmissions which run up to 200 MHz. To achieve communication at these high frequencies over UTP copper requires significant changes in the way the channel components are designed.
