IEEE 802.3ak

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

IEEE 802.3ak (also 802.3ak-2004 ) was the first Ethernet standard for 10-Gb / s over copper cable and dates back to 2004. IEEE 802.3ak defined compounds of 10GBASE-CX4, selected from the series IEEE 802 originate .

The standard enables transmissions with max. 10 Gbit / s per twinax cabling over a distance of max. 15 m. The speed is only guaranteed under optimal conditions (plug, cable, etc.). 10GBase-CX4 uses a XAUI 4-lane interface for connection , a copper cabling that is also used for CX4 compatible InfiniBand .
