Re: So what's the deal with 10Gbase-T

Does anyone here have experience running copper 10Gbase-T networks? It
seems like the standard just died out. For us it would make a lot of sense
for our applications -- even if throughput and latency aren't as great. If
anyone out there knows of any *copper* 10 gig-t switches (48 port?), I'd
be
interested to hear your experiences. I can't seem to find any high-density
ones from major vendors.

 Is there something unique about your environment that wouldn't allow you
to use 10gbit SFP+-based switches with DAC (Direct Attach Copper) cables?
 Those seem fairly well supported.
