Migration to 10GbE is dramatically simplified with backward compatibility for existing network infrastructure. Autonegotiation between 100Mb/s, 1GbE and 10GbE provides the necessary backwards compatibility that most customers require for a smooth transtition and easy migration to 10GbE. 10GBASE-T switches can now be affordably added at any time to experience the full benefits of 10GbE.

10GBASE-T is the easiest and most versatile 10GbE interface that can be deployed anywhere in the data center. Its flexible reach from 1 meter to 100 meters supports the latest network architectures including Top of Rack (ToR), Middle of Row (MoR) and End of Row (EoR).
