Baud Rate
40GBase-T will use 4 X 10G Baud rate, means 4 x
800 Mbaud = 3200. This is a reuse of the 128-DSQ
coding technology developed for 10GBase-T with
3125 Bits/symbol.

40GBaseT Timeline
Migration to 40 Gigabit Ethernet continues to move
ahead. The first products to support 40GBase-T (draft)
will be available soon. The updated schedule for
the IEEE 40GBASE-T standard foresees circulation
of definitive draft during 2015 and ratification of the
finished standard in 2016. Cabling standards from
ISO/IEC, TIA and CENELEC will probably follow one
Summary/Recommendation
The IEEE committee defining the next twisted pair
application in support of 40G networks (40GBASE-T)
has been making considerable progress recently. IEEE,
which defines all Ethernet applications, has compared
three different cabling specs. The committee settled
on ISO Channel I, with all parameters like Insertion
Loss, Return Loss and Alien Crosstalk specified up to
2 GHz.
Beside fibre optic solutions for 40G and even 100G,
the upcoming 40GBase-T standard will offer a new
alternative for data centre cabling designs. The first

The following covers activity in the September and
November meetings of IEEE 802.3:
Fibre Protocols
802.3bm 100Gb/s Next Generation Optical PHYs
This proposal is for interconnection via 4 lanes of
25Gb/s rather than 10 lanes of 10Gb/s and will
include:
40G PHY for 40km of SM fibre
100G PHY for 100m of OM4 MM fibre and 70m
of OM3
802.3bs Next Generation Ethernet
This proposal is for the definition of 400GB/s Ethernet
over Duplex SM and Parallel MM fibre and includes
PHYs for:
100m of 32 cores of OM4 MM fibre (16 lanes of
25G over 2 MTPs)
70m of 32 cores of OM3 MM fibre (16 lanes of
25G over 2 MTPs)
500m of SM fibre (4 lane PSM)
2km of Duplex SM fibre
10km of Duplex SM fibre

Copper Protocols
802.3bj 100Gb/s Copper
This proposal is for high speed backplane and twinax protocols for switch interconnection via 4 lanes of
25Gb/s rather than 10 lanes of 10Gb/s and will
include:
802.3bq 40GBASE-T
Decisions confirmed at the recent meetings include:
Signalling rate of 3,200 Mbaud (4x10GBASE-T)
adopted
ISO/IEC Channel I Insertion Loss and Return Loss
specified with 2GHz upper frequency
ISO/IEC Channel I PSANEXT specified with 2GHz
upper frequency
ISO/IEC Channel I PSAACRF specified with 2GHz
upper frequency
RJ45 adopted as an MDI connector implying
other connectors may be included later
