Full Description

Scope

The scope of this project is to specify a Physical Layer (PHY) for operation at 10 Gb/s on standards based structured copper cabling, using the existing Media Access Controller, and with extensions to the appropriate physical layer management parameters, of IEEE Std 802.3.

Purpose

The purpose of this project is to provide a lower-cost, twisted pair copper cabling option for 10Gb/s interconnection of equipment up to 100 m.

Abstract

Amendment Standard - Superseded.This standard specifies IEEE 802 media access-independent mechanisms that optimize handovers between heterogeneous IEEE 802 systems and between IEEE 802 systems and cellular systems.
