“The Ethernet Alliance recently formed a subcommittee to support the promotion of the 10GBASE-T standards development project,” said Brad Booth, Ethernet Alliance president and IEEE P802.an Task Force chair. “We are extremely pleased to see that the IEEE-SA review committee (RevCom) and standards board decided to approve the ratification of 10GBASE-T. The Ethernet Alliance is also pleased to see that the isolation requirements in IEEE Std. 802.3af were corrected and that the MAC-Sec draft standard was approved.
