RE: Gig Ethernet Copper Wiring
Hmmm, a little (with the emphasis on little) bit of research dug this up, a URL and a quote. Not even a mention of Cat5E. http://www.gigabit-ethernet.org/technology/faq.html What is the cabling requirement for supporting 1000BASE-T? The IEEE 802.3ab Task Force has always targeted the installed-base Cat. 5 UTP as the wiring required to support Gigabit Ethernet, and there has been no deviation from that objective. It is expected that any Cat. 5 UTP installation that are able to support 100BASE-TX will successfully be able to support Gigabit Ethernet on Copper (1000BASE-T). For more information, please reference the two document that Gigabit Ethernet Alliance has published: the 1000BASE-T cabling technical brief and the 1000BASE-T white paper (available on the Gigabit Ethernet Alliance web site). -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of AISSent: Monday, July 31, 2000 11:36 AMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Gig Ethernet Copper Wiring I was just speaking to someone who was very, very sure that 1000 Base-T required not only Cat 5E cable, but that the cable had to be specially bonded and that it needed special connectors.
