10GBaseT
10GBASE-T is the Ethernet physical layer standard for transmitting 10 gigabits per second over copper twisted-pair cables. It is defined in the IEEE 802.3an amendment and is designed for use with four pairs of copper cabling and RJ-45 connectors. Devices using 10GBASE-T typically support auto-negotiation to 10G, 1G, or 100 Mbps to maintain compatibility with other Ethernet speeds.
Media and distance requirements: The standard supports up to 100 meters on category 6A cabling or better.
signaling and techniques: 10GBASE-T relies on high-bandwidth digital signaling over all four pairs and employs sophisticated
Applications and usage: It is widely used in enterprise networks and data centers where existing copper cabling
History: 10GBASE-T was standardized in 2006 under IEEE 802.3an, and has since become a common option for
