10GBASE-T: 10G Ethernet on Copper Cabling

Tags:
ethernet

Overview 10GBASE-T offers two important attributes to network managers and IT professionals planning data centers and enterprise networks. First, it supports legacy copper UTP cabling and for new installations of copper cabling, it maintains the structured cabling paradigm and support for RJ-45 connections and patch panels. Second, 10GBASE-T will enable over time lower cost 10G interconnects by enabling high-density 10G switches. Because of greater density, and relatively low component cost, 10GBASE-T will enable network equipment manufacturers to lower dramatically the cost of 10 Gigabit Ethernet interconnect.
