KRONE10GigaBit Over Copper!

10Gigabit Ethernet is an emerging technology offering data speeds up to 10 billion bits per second. This latest standard has been driven not only by the increase in normal data traffic but also by the proliferation of new, bandwidth-intensive applications. At the recent IEEE 10Gigabit/s Ethernet standard working group meeting it was announced that international structured cabling company KRONE had made a breakthrough. The company has demonstrated the first augmented Category 6 cable in the world with the necessary characteristics to enable 10Gigabit/s Ethernet to be implemented over unshielded twisted pair (UTP) to the full 100 meters required for structured...
