Vision Systems Design – Pleora Technologies Q&A: Evolution of Ethernet technology, future industry growth areas
During The Vision Show 2016, I sat down with John Phillips, Senior Manager, Product Management, and discussed a number of topics related to the latest trends and topics inmachine vision and imaging.
Pleora Technologies recently became the first company from the machine vision industry to join the NBASE-T Alliance, a consortium collaborating on new technologies that extend the bandwidth capabilities of CAT5e twisted-pair copper cabling using standard Ethernet technology. The NBASE-T specification governed by the alliance defines a new type of Ethernet signaling that boosts the speed of CAT5e twisted-pair cabling well beyond its designed limit of 1 Gbps to support 2.5 and 5 Gbps speeds – or if network infrastructure supports it 10 Gbps over Cat6 cabling – for distances up to 100 meters.
