MaxLinear and Cisco Collaborate on Ethernet Alliance White Paper

  • Jagdish Kaushik, Senior Principal Engineer at MaxLinear and Peter Jones, Distinguished Engineer at Cisco have co-authored an Ethernet Alliance white paper titled: Why 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T?

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:

  • The technical specifications and features of 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T
  • Real-world applications and industry adoption
  • Challenges in deployment and strategies for mitigation

This white paper serves as a valuable resource for engineers, product managers, and decision-makers navigating the evolving Ethernet landscape.
