Matt,
for an illustration of the Intra/Inter rack/cabinet applications that Hugh is
describing. Distances for High
performance computing interconnects (HPC)
are also referred to in
the presentation (Hugh describes as loose cables).
In addition see HSSG
presentation: Server Form Factors &
Physical Networking
for "rack server" and
"blade server" consistent with the up to 10 meters
copper objective.
Regards,
Chris

Matt,
The survey covers "installed" cable, it doesn't cover
patch cords and
equipment cables. The connections to a top of rack switch
(or to a top
of rack patch panel) are not included. The copper PMD
objective will
cover the connections that you describe and other
connections that are
currently made by using "loose" cables.
I hope
that's clear.
Hugh.
