The dream of one day being able to make use of 40Gbps Ethernet for enterprise networks cmes one step closer to being reality as infrastructure solutions leader CommScope successfully demonstrated the technical feasibility of Category 8 cabling for enterprise networks.

The proof-of-concept demonstration made use of prototype Category 8 RJ-45 connectors and copper twisted pair cables, all designed in CommScope's lab. The demonstration took place at the recent International Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 NGBASE-T study group meeting in Phoenix, Arizona.
