Wow - I didn't even know you could do GigE over copper, I always assumed GigE and 10GigE used glass...

40 and 100GbE is pretty much fiber but I think you can do 12 meters on copper if you need to but everything I've implemented at 40 and up has all been optical.

Cat 5e supports 1G up to 100 m. Cat 6 supports 10G up to 55 m.

I know!! I REALLY hope Meridian will be using this to stream Tidal when they do the MQA demo in a few days at RMAF. It will be revolutionary - I will be able to tell my kids that I was present at the birth of a new world....
