I have been predicting based on the history of all previous variants of the slower "baseT" ethernets it looks like yet again that 10GBaseT is following a similar path for second generation 10GBaseT. e.g. towards becoming the cheapest just good enough technology for 10gbps networks, and hence the wining network technology.This is not a product recommendation by me but see data sheet on this 10GBaseT product as a demonstration of the trends …See More

 If greentouch www.greentouch.org achieve their mission then I wonder what the implications will be to data centre design?Greentouch Global Mission - By 2015, our goal is to deliver the architecture, specifications and roadmap — and demonstrate key components — needed to increase network energy efficiency by a factor of 1000 from current levels.With a 10,000 factor possible the mission above looks very likely to me JohnSee More

  when you are relaxing after the 2010 feastive meals and drinks perhaps you may muse on the following: cable musing - with 10GBaseT now the upper limit for copper twisted pair cable why install higher performance cable than Cat6 (for permanent links <37m ) and Ca6A ( for permanent links >37m & <90m )  ? energy musing - with the GreenTouch global research initiative leading the charge to dramatically improved energy efficiency in ICT networks by a factor of 1,000 by 2015 (not…See More
