- lostlogin 6y agoI think the parent post is referring to the low rate of adoption of >1gbps networking. Switching and routing is expensive and not many devices support it.
- amarshall 6y agoThey’re presumably referring to 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T. Some motherboards and WiFi 6 WAPs are now including NICs meeting these standards but not 10GBASE-T. Still not commonplace throughout, though. Both 2.5 & 5GBASE-T are rated for 100 m on CAT 5e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2.5GBASE-T_and_5GBASE-T https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2.5GBASE-T_and_5GBASE-T
- ksec 6y agoYes the point of NBASE-T or 2.5/5BASE-T is that it should be a lot cheaper than 10GBASE-T.
