Following the massive commercial deployment of 10G BaseT and development of 40GBaseT, twisted pair-based copper cable Ethernet is looking to the next standard - probably 100Gbps. Ethernet, defined in the protocol set of IEEE 802.3, has been the dominant communication standard in the field of computer networks including home networks, enterprise networks and data centers. The physical media of Ethernet transmission includes copper-based twisted pair cable, optical fiber and the copper back plane. From the 1BASE5, standardized and defined in IEEE 802.3e in 1986, twisted pair cables have been introduced and since then used as the first choice of copper Ethernet transmission until today. The standard for Ethernet over twisted pair cable has also evolved from the 1BASE5, the 10BASE-T, the 100 BaseT, the 1G-BaseT to 10G-BaseT and further towards 25G-BaseT, 40G-BaseT and 100G-BaseT.
