Yang’s course, “Cabling for Next Generation BASE-T,” will start with an overview of 10GBASE-T and 40/100GbE technologies. He will discuss some research results on balanced twisted pair copper cabling for Ethernet speed beyond 10Gb/s. Yang’s presentation will further discuss key considerations, such as cabling bandwidth, reach, connector and performance for 40GBASE-T. The presentation will conclude how industry should work together to help end user with adoption of 10GBASE-T and beyond. The morning tutorial will begin at 8:30 a.m. PST.

Yang will also lead and organize the afternoon session of the Emerging Technology Track tutorial at 3:10 p.m. PST.

Yang will conclude the day by participating in another tutorial entitled, “Ethernet and Virtualization (Data Centers Track).”Collaborating with Gautam Chanda from Cisco Systems, Yang will co-present the course, “Utilize 40GbE and 100GbE Networking Technology to Build Virtualized Data Centers,” will discuss when and how 40GbE will become an accepted part of the IT landscape. It will focus on how CIOs and IT managers will handle high-bandwidth applications using server virtualization, cloud computing and fabric consolidation within the data center. The course will also address the move to 40GbE and 100GbE, how it may change the network architecture in virtualized data centers, and what IT managers can do now to prepare to migrate to the new standards and network architecture. This tutorial will begin at 3:10 p.m. PST.

The Ethernet Technology Summit will be held at the Doubletree by Hilton February 21 through 23.
