The webinar discusses increasing network speed without replacing structured cabling, focusing on multi-gigabit Ethernet solutions. Key points include the limitations of existing Cat 5e and Cat 6 cables, along with the introduction of Netgear's multi-gig switches that support 2.5G and 5G speeds. The presentation outlines various network designs, cable specifications, and the future of multi-gigabit technology in the networking industry.

Limited to 1G!
Why not just use 10G or run another cable?

10. Why not just use 10G or run another cable?
Infrastructure upgrade involves
- New cable run, including labor
- Link Aggregation issues

16. Ethernet Roadmap
2016
• M4200 Fully Managed Switch
2017
• MS510TX / MS510TXPP Smart Managed Pro Switches
• XS505M / XS508M Unmanaged Switches
• GS110MX Unmanaged Switch
• GS110EMX Smart Managed Plus Switch
2018
• XS512EM / XS724EM Smart Managed Plus Switch
• …..
• More to come
• Why 2.5G and 5GBASE-T?
Between 2003 and 2014, 70 billion meters1 of CAT5E
and CAT6 cabling were sold…
In 2014, 1.3 billion outlets, ~90% installed base
Initial specifications supported 1Gbps over this cable.
10GBASE-T required CAT6a instead.
IEEE Standard 802.3bzTM-2016 received final approval
09/2016 for faster data rates on CAT5E / CAT6.
Industry forecast says 25% of switch ports will be
2.5G/5GBASE-T (5 millions ports in 2017 to over 100M
in 2021):
