What were some of the methods by which engineers were able to operate Cat-5 at 1Gbps when it was standarized to 100Mbps?

Yes, it's a homework question, but we are allowed to ask people.....

Also, ATOT is better than any textbook. :D

is there a standard for cat 6 or is it just belkin trying to make 98% margin instead of 94%?

yup, cat. 6 is an official standard now, although pretty useless in common enviroments.

linky to back it up. hope that helps :)


ah, i guess i was wrong, since it was only "being considered" as of 2 years ago. I assume by now it should be standardized though...
