10 gigabit Ethernet runs on copper wires
Nov. 01, 2005

Dynatem is shipping a 10 gigabit Ethernet (GbE) NIC (network interface card) claimed to offer the world's "highest throughput Ethernet performance." In contrast to today's fiber-optic 10GbE NICs, the MAX Copper enables 10GbE transmissions at distances up to 10 meters using standard CAT5e or CAT6 cabling and RJ-45 connectors, according to the company.

Dynatem says the new 10GbE copper NIC offers "approximately half the cost and half the power consumption" of its fiber optic counterparts.

The MaxCu/10GbE Server Adapter is a PCI-X form-factor plugin-in card based on Intel's 82597EX 10GbE PCI-X controller, along with Vativ Technologies's V10LAN transceiver/PHY, which the company claims is "the most functional copper PHY on the market to today."

Dynatem says it is targeting the new copper NIC at the datacenter market. The new NIC is ideal for server-to-server or server-to-switch networking, the company adds.

Pricing for the MaxCu/10GbE NIC starts at $1,995, with volume discounts available, and is available immediately in small quantities, the company says.

Drivers available for Windows 2000/2003/XP and Linux, according to the company.
