I'm so far removed from Gig at this point I didn't realize that it used all 8 wires. So I dug around and found this page talking about Gig ethernet and it had some comments I don't quite get and I want all of your input on this. The article, located here (watch for wrap): http://www.networkuptime.com/columns/copper_gig/ says: "1000BASE-T sends and receives signals simultaneously on the same pair of wires by combining a 5 level coding scheme, thus 4 pairs of wire allow 1000BASE-T to send a single byte (one bit per wire) in parallel at each signal pulse 125 times per second." How is it sending 1 bit per wire? How's this? Someone tell me if this is correct or if this phrase is just misleading or what. Thanks! Mike W.
