10PASS-TS is an IEEE 802.3-2008 Physical Layer (PHY) specification for a full-duplex short reach point-to-point Ethernet link over voice-grade copper wiring.
10PASS-TS PHYs deliver a minimum of 10 Mbit/s over distances of up to 750 meters (2460 ft), using ITU-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, called PME Aggregation Function (PAF).
Unlike 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T and 1000BASE-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.
