[Cerowrt-devel] 10gige and 2.5gige

[Joel Wirāmu Pauling]

Heat issues you mention with UTP are gone; with the 803.bz stuff (i.e
Base-N).

It was mostly due to the 10G-Base-T spec being old and out of line with the
SFP+ spec ; which led to higher power consumption than SFP+ cages were
rated to draw and aforementioned heat problems; this is not a problem with
newer kit.
It went away with the move to smaller silicon processes and now UTP based
10G in the home devices are more common and don't suffer from the fragility
issues of the earlier copper based 10G spec. The AQC chipsets were the
first to introduce it but most other vendors have finally picked it up
after 5 years or feet dragging.
