CommScope announced that its technical marketing manager for enterprise communications infrastructure solutions,Yinglin (Frank) Yang, will speak about 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) technology during the upcoming Ethernet Technology Summit (Feb. 21 - 23) in San Jose, CA.
Yang will teach a course during the Summit's morning tutorial entitled, 40/100GbE is Alive and Well on Wednesday, February 22. Yang’s course, titled Cabling for Next Generation BASE-T, will start with an overview of 10GBASE-T and 40/100GbE technologies. The course will discuss some research results on balanced twisted pair copper cabling for Ethernet speeds beyond 10Gb/s. The presentation will further discuss key considerations, such as cabling bandwidth, reach, connector and performance for 40GBASE-T. The course will conclude by enumerating ways industry should work together to help with end-user adoption of 10GBASE-T technologies and beyond. The morning tutorial will begin at 8:30 a.m. PST.
