I've noticed 2.5 becoming a bit more common on enthusiast hardware, so it'll be a while yet before 10G becomes mainstream, but 2.5 and 5 might be the standard for new hardware a decade from now.
- Jaruzel 5y agoThe nice thing about 2.5gb/s is that you can still use existing CAT5e/6 cable runs (albeit at shorter distances). I really want to start seeing 2.5gb/s becoming standard on Desktop motherboards asap.
- tomohawk 5y ago2.5 and 5 can use existing cat5e or better cabling. There is no solution for 10GigE that uses that cabling.
- jabl 5y ago10Gbase-T does 55m with Cat6, or the full 100m with Cat6A, both of which are ubiquitous and cheap. It's probably more to do with the expense and power consumption of 10Gbase-T PHY's.
