Wired data connections will never be entirely replaced by wireless ones, but the Ethernet protocol still has some design constraints that limit the performance of certain data transfers. One way to ...

The IEEE task force weighing whether and how to expand the size of Ethernet frames met again last week and made a couple of key decisions. Earlier this year, the study group looking at the possibility ...

Although cameras equipped with PoE (Power over Ethernet) have appeared in the last couple of years, the interface is new in frame grabbers, according to Neil Chen, product manager for vision products ...

Ethernet is a frame-based data communication technology that employs variable-sized frames to carry a data payload. This contrasts with long-haul Optical Transport Networks (OTN) that use fixed-sized ...

Ethernet and Sonet are on a crash course. With Ethernet continuing to push its way out of the enterprise into the access and metro sectors, developers of Sonet equipment are being pushed to map ...

An IEEE task force is nearing completion of a standard to run Ethernet at a blistering 10 gigabits per second, which will mean an Ethernet that’s not only 10 times faster, but also more widespread ...
