Why is it that 10GbaseT has been approved for over two years and you still can't buy it from a major network equipment vendor like Foundry or Cisco?

10 GBaseT Burns
No major vendor supports 10GBaseT because it has major problems. Mainly the power consumption is 10X higher (at 6 Watts per port) than competing SFP+ optical approaches. With 6 Watts per port consumption, it's hard to put more than 8 10GBaseT ports on a switch blade because you're already dissipating close to 50 Watts. Add high latency of 2.5 uS and high cost and you get three strikes. Optical is a better technology as well as Twinax to provide high port density in the SFP+ form factor.
Don't support this brown (ungreen) technology!
