What kind of an article starts with "There are a few standards for Ethernet over twisted pair(...)"? --87.196.45.96 (talk) 05:52, 9 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Not this one (anymore). ~Kvng (talk) 22:27, 28 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Removed Redirection Notice edit

I have removed the label at the top that states "RJ45" redirects here. For the generic 8P8C modular connector, see 8P8C. For the Registered Jack (RJ) wiring standard, see Registered jack.

Reason: The RJ45 article does not redirect here. CraigMatthews 01:12, 12 Dec 2009 (UTC)

10BASE-T1S and 10BASE-T1L Status edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I am curious why the status for 10BASE-T1L and 10BASE-T1S are 'Planned'. I believe that the IEEE Std 802.3cg is approved and chip manufacturers are offering products. Shilohpa (talk) 12:55, 29 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

You're absolutely correct - feel free to update. ;-) --Zac67 (talk) 18:00, 29 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

As these new standards based on 802.3cg interest me, I'll be making some updates. 18:25, 27 January 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burt Harris (talk • contribs)

Rename/move to Ethernet over twisted-pair edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

@Burt Harris: IMHO, that move is in error. "Twisted-pair" is a compound adjective that requires a noun, so it should be either "Ethernet over twisted pair" or "Ethernet over twisted-pair cabling". --Zac67 (talk) 07:41, 28 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Zac67 is correct. See Compound modifier. ~Kvng (talk) 15:11, 31 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Cat 7 edit

Why it does not have the Cat7 in comparison table? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daya Kathir (talk • contribs) 12:17, 9 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Daya Kathir: Please try to use the New section feature on top to create a new topic section. Cat 7 isn't listed because there's no Ethernet-over-twisted-pair variant that requires it – it's backwards compatible with Cat 6 but not with Cat 6A. Cat 7 was intended for 10GBASE-T but requires special/exotic termination while the somewhat younger Cat 6A doesn't. Also, Cat 7 is popular in Europe and other countries but virtually non-existent in the US. --Zac67 (talk) 12:59, 9 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
