Ironically.. 2.5 Gbps is created by taking a 10GBASE-T module and effectively underclocking it. I wonder if "automatic speed selection" is around the corner with modules that automatically connect at 100Mbps to 10Gbps based on available cable quality.


My 10G modules automatically drop down to 2.5G or 1G if the cable is not good enough. There's also 5G, but I have never seen it work better than 2.5G.


Oh man. I've been off the IT floor for too long. Time to change my rhetoric, ya'll have been around the corner for a while.

Aging has it's upsides and downsides I guess.


I don’t think my 10g coppers will drop to 10m. 100m sure, but 10m rings a bell.
