Unleashing the 10 Gigabit Ethernet Market: Proving 10GBASE-T Performance and Reliability Under Worst-Case Conditions

Tags:
ethernet

Overview With the advent of 10GBASE-T for 100 meter links of twisted pair copper cabling, 10 Gigabit Ethernet is moving into the market to provide simple, cost-effective, standards-based products for enterprise and data center networks. 10 Gb/s Ethernet on copper will more than halve the cost of 10 Gb/s links, by enabling higher port density and as well as transceivers that can follow a Moore's Law curve of cost reduction. 10GBASE-T will also support the plug and play simplicity of RJ-45 interconnects and twisted pair copper cabling. Solarflare's 10Xpress 10GBASE-T PHY supports reaches over 100 meters on Category 6A cabling, 55 to 100 meters on Category 6 cabling, and 45 meters on legacy Category 5E cabling.
