...Cable for Gigabit Ethernet longer than 550 meters • You can run Gigabit Ethernet over up to 2-km-long multimode fibre optic cable. However, the transceiver modules used for long-wave (1310-nm) Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-LX) launch only...

10 Gigabit • 10 Gigabit. • In the year 1830, "The Rocket" was the fastest train travelling between Liverpool and Manchester at the speed of 48 km/h. At that time, people thought that nobody would ever have the need to travel faster than 50 km/...

...being superseded by gigabit Ethernet. • Fast Ethernet • Fast Ethernet is an extension of the existing Ethernet standard. It runs on UTP data or optical fiber cable. It provides compatibility with existing 10BASE-T systems and thus enables plug-a...

...power • PoE over Gigabit Ethernet • 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet use only two pairs of wire in 4-pair CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6 cable, leaving the other two pairs free to transmit power for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. However, Gigabit E...

...distances increases. Gigabit Ethernet and the emerging 10-Gigabit Ethernet are becoming the applications of choice for current and future networking needs. • Thus, there is a renewed interest in 50-micron fibre optic cable. • First used in 1976, ...

...6 • CAT6a is a 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10-GbE) over copper standard. Its requirements are covered in ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 (Balanced Twisted-Pair Telecommunications Cabling and Components Standard) published in August 2009. The standard defines 10-Gig...
