In the recently held 2008 Embedded Systems Conference (ESC), Intel unveiled a 10 Gb (10G) Ethernet card prototype.

Intel’s this card, known as the “PRO/10Gb” using PCI-E interface, provides a RJ-45 interface to support 10 GBASE-T standards, and equipped with an active fan and a passive heat sink, we can see that At the same time improving the speed network power has become big problems. Do not know if this is not because there are at the prototype stage of the reason that the final product would not be the case.

In addition to supporting 10 Gb mode, the card can also work in the 1 Gb model. There are three on the card lagging indicator, one showing the state, the other two on the 1 Gb, respectively, and a 10 Gb model.

IEEE organization as early as 2002 to complete a 10 Gb Ethernet standard 802.3 ae, but only with the use of optical fiber, in March 2004 after the completion of 802.3 ak, also known as 10 GBase-CX4, coaxial copper achieve speed of 10 Gb , but the transmission distance is limited to 15 meters. Until 2007, the IEEE has finally developed an 802.3, which is 10 GBase-T, twisted-pair copper into the 10 Gb times, most potential.

Intel is expected to be officially launched this year in an ultra-high-speed LAN.

NOTE:The first time I saw the card needs with fans
