First 10GBase-T Cards

• But high prices, high power consumption, limited range and requirements for new cables will put a damper on first-generation products for the 10GBase-T standard.
• Chelsio Communications Inc. said its 10GBase-T adapter for servers, set to sample this week, will send data 30 to 50 meters. "Basically, we adjusted the power consumption to stay within the 25-watt maximum of a PCI Express card.
