In 2002, the IEEE Standards board published the 802.3ae-2002 specification which defined 10G Ethernet and it is currently the fastest of the Ethernet standards. It defines a version of Ethernet with a nominal data rate of 10Gbit/s ten times as fast as Gigabit Ethernet. 10 Gigabit Ethernet supports only full duplex links which can be connected by data switches. The 10G Ethernet format can also be supported by either a Fiber Optic or Copper cable transmission system. For the purpose of this discussion, we’ll be addressing the copper cable transmission.
