- 10PASS-TS
10PASS-TS is an
IEEE 802.3-2005 Physical Layer (PHY ) specification for afull-duplex short reach point-to-pointEthernet link overvoice-grade copper wiring.10PASS-TS PHYs deliver a minimum of 10
Mbit/s over distances of up to 750 meters (2460 ft), usingITU-T G.993.1 (VDSL ) technology over a single copper pair. These PHYs may also support an optional aggregation or bonding of multiple copper pairs, calledPME Aggregation Function (PAF).Unlike
10BASE-T ,100BASE-T and1000BASE-T PHYs, providing a single rate of 10, 100 or 1000 Mbit/s respectively, 10PASS-TS link rate can vary, depending on the copper channel characteristics, such as length, wire diameter (gauge), number of pairs if the link is aggregated etc.History
