Why 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T?
Ethernet continues to evolve, adapting to the growing demands of modern networks. One of the most significant recent developments is the emergence of 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T technologies, designed to overcome the limitations of 1Gbps speeds in existing enterprise and premise cabling infrastructures. These intermediate speeds are especially relevant in the context of rapidly advancing wireless technologies and increasing data consumption.
In a collaborative effort, Jagdish Kaushik, Senior Principal Engineer at MaxLinear, and Peter Jones, Distinguished Engineer at Cisco, have co-authored a white paper under the Ethernet Alliance. The paper explores:
