| | Do you know of any studies or research that has been done on copper cabling to see what kind of performance degradation or shortened life span of the cables has been documented….due to extreme heat? This is not so hot that the cables would melt…this might be found on the hot aisle of a datacenter, for example. |

| | The effect of heat on the copper performance should be fairly minimal, remember that it is only the last bit of a cord which would be subjected to high heat, and when measurements are made to assess performance they should be done as a channel as we are talkng about the connection of equipment into a channel. We have in the cabling standards a compensation formulea to provide for increased loss due to the ambient worst temperature along the channel over 20Deg C The jacketing material, which would effect copper and fibre cable longevity is a different issue which so far I have not seen any information on from any manufacturer.
