  1. 10 Gigabit Ethernet - Wikipedia

    • Like previous versions of Ethernet, 10GbE can use either copper or fiber cabling. Maximum distance over copper cable is 100 meters but because of its bandwidth requirements, higher-grade cables are required. [a] See more

    Overview

    10 Gigabit Ethernet (abbreviated 10GE, 10GbE, or 10 GigE) is a group of computer networking technologies for transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of 10 gigabits per second. It was first defined by the IEEE 802.3ae-2002 standard. … See more

    Physical layer modules

    To implement different 10GbE physical layer standards, many interfaces consist of a standard socket into which different physical (PHY) layer modules may be plugged. PHY modules are not specified in an official s… See more

     
  1. Twisted copper cables are used in the 10 GBASE-T standard of 10GbE. As this connection requires high bandwidth and fast transmission, you may need cat 6 or higher cables. Cat6 is also not a very good option as it enables short-distance transmission up to 55m.

    Since 10 gigabit Ethernet is only compatible with a specific type of 10g ethernet cables, it is important to choose fibers or cables accordingly. However, the 10 gig Ethernet connection over fiber optics or copper cables, may require gigabit media converters, gigabit support, fiber optic managed switches, etc.
