Asus XG-C100C NIC breaks the gigabit barrier
 

The decade-plus reign of Gigabit Ethernet as the fastest practical standard for wired networking might be finally (and slowly) coming to a close. Over the last few months, we reported on the ratification of a standard for 2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps networking over older Cat 5e cables, the integration of new-generation NICs into high-end motherboards, and the announcement of a reference add-on NICs from chipmaker Aquantia. Now Asus is offering up its own take on 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T Ethernet with its XG-C100C network card, which also supports 10 Gbps over Cat 6 cables.
