Auto sensing only became mandatory with 1GbE - before that, you still needed a crossover patch cable. :)

- alanfranz 6y agoWell, 1Gbit ports are quite common since... ten years? Maybe more? And there are a lot of 100mbit devices which are autosensing BTW.
- rincebrain 6y agoProbably longer, for 1GbE. Time flies. :) I've never encountered an autosensing 100mbit device, though.
- alanfranz 6y agoWikipedia seems to agree with you. It's entirely possible that my memory is wrong. Or that I think that I'm younger than I actually am :-)
