Intel Communities – NBASE-T Enterprise Networking Solutions at Cisco Live

Due to the rapid growth of ever-more powerful mobile devices, enterprise networks need to keep pace. NBASE-T™ technology boosts the speed of twisted pair copper cabling up to 100 meters in length well beyond the designed limits of 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps). Capable of reaching 2.5 and 5 Gbps over 100m of Cat 5e cable, NBASE-T solutions implement a new type of signaling over twisted-pair cabling. The upcoming Intel(R)  Ethernet Controller code named Sageville, a single chip dual-port 10GBASE-T  and NBASE-T controller, can auto-negotiate to allow the selection of the best speed: 100 Megabit Ethernet (100MbE), 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), 2.5GbE and 5GbE, over Cat 5e or Cat 6 and 10GbE over Cat 6A or Cat 7.
