The idea of lower costs for short-distance applications is driving two IEEE efforts to standardize 10G Ethernet over copper. When it comes to 10G Ethernet, what’s good for fiber is good for copper. Or ...

Yes, you read the headline right. There is a movement within the IEEE Higher Speed Study Group to come up with a standard to run 100 Gigabit Ethernet not just over fiber-optic lines, but also over ...

When the first 10 gigabit Ethernet standard was released nearly two years ago, sky-high prices of more than $50,000 per port kept many IT organizations on the sidelines. Though prices have dropped ...

As far as technologies go, the 30-year-old Ethernet has been around the block, which invites questions about its future. After all, with breakthrough technology advancements in speed, access and ...

We should have seen it coming. Once we got 1-Gbit Ethernet over copper, it was obvious someone would want to do 10 Gbits/s over copper also, even though we have a perfectly good 10-Gbit Ethernet (10GE ...

The EL900 Hardened Fast Ethernet Media Converter is a two-port Ethernet switch with one 10/100/TX port and one 100FX port, converting copper to fiber optics. The fiber optic port may be configured for ...
