- Challenges for 10Gb/s Implementation on UTP Media
- Responding to the need for 10Gb/s data rates, the industry and IEEE have recently concluded several years of work to create a standard for 10Gb/s optical Ethernet. This standard, however, does not incorporate any option for copper media for LANs-all options involve fiber-optic media. The higher costs of fiber-based solutions...
