BizTech – NBASE-T Alliance marks 1-year anniversary with new spec, members
The NBASE-T Alliance, an industry-wide cooperative effort to promote the development of 2.5 and 5 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) bandwidth over twisted-pair copper cabling (2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T), celebrated its one-year anniversary with the release of a new MAC-PHY specification, and the addition of 14 new members, bringing total membership in the group to more than 45 companies.
As part of its work to accelerate product development, the Alliance is announcing availability of the first version of the USXGMII MAC-PHY specification. This key specification facilitates system development by enabling simple multivendor interconnection of MAC and PHY components. The first version of the specification defines a single-port interface. Dual and multi-port versions are expected in Q1 2016.
