2.5 GbE is an Ethernet standard that runs 2.5 Gbit/s over ordinary Cat5e and Cat6 twisted-pair cabling up to 100 meters with RJ45 connectors.
CAT6 is a twisted-pair copper cabling category rated to 250 MHz, used for Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 m and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shorter runs.
Fiber optics in network hardware carries data as light through glass fibers, offering high bandwidth, long reach and immunity to electrical interference.
PoE (Power over Ethernet) delivers DC power and data over the same twisted-pair cable, powering access points, cameras and phones from a switch.
RJ45 is the common name for the eight-pin modular connector used on twisted-pair Ethernet cables, ports and patch panels in wired networks.
SFP is a hot-swappable transceiver form factor that lets a switch or network card port use fiber or copper links, typically at speeds up to 1…
SFP+ is the enhanced small form-factor pluggable slot and module standard that carries 10 Gbit/s Ethernet over fiber or copper in network hardware.
