HDMI 1.4 brings internet sharing.

Okay, so there's good news and bad news. Given that we just love to tease, we'll start you off with the positives. HDMI 1.4 was just revealed, bringing with it an HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC) that enables data transfers of up to 100 Mbps between supported connected devices. Put simply, this could allow a "broadband-connected television using its HEC-enabled HDMI port to provide internet connection sharing with another HEC-enabled device such as a game console or DVR." Furthermore, the spec's Audio Return Channel (ARC) enables broadcast audio to be easily streamed back to an external amplifier, and the Automatic Content Enhancement (ACE) provides support for "future 3D video standards, increased resolution support (up to 4,096 x 2,160 pixels at up to 30Hz), and content recognition that promises to automatically optimize the TV's picture settings based on content type..

New Discounted Price - 10/100 BaseT/TX - 100 Base FX Fiber Medai Converters

The Computer Cable Store has drastically reduced the price on our 10/100 Multimode Media Converters.

In response to the increasing demand for fiber optic cabling, we offer it's TEC Optix Solutions Media Converter Series as a concrete and affordable answer. Our media converters offer a highly intelligent solution for extending long distance connections between 10 Base TX and 100 Base TX networks. Solutions are offered in both single mode SC along with multi mode solutions in conjunction with MTRJ, LC, SC and ST fiber applications. MC100 and MC120 Series The MC100 and MC120 series has several easy to read LEDs that detect link, transmit/receive, and full/half duplex status. The MC100 is among the most functional media converters in the market. The RJ45 port offers dual speed, 10/100Mbps, auto negotiation and auto MDIX. Design is aimed at accommodating the 412 meter distance limitation when connecting hub to work station. Solutions can also extend to 75Km in conjunction with certain single mode applications. Also available is a 19" rack mountable chassis that holds as many as 16 individual units from our extensive offering of media converters.

100 Gigabit Ethernet: Bridge to Terabit Ethernet

IT managers who are getting started with -- or even pushing the limits of -- 10 Gigabit Ethernet in their LANs and data centers won't have to wait long for higher speed connectivity.
Podcast: Pushing Beyond 100 Gigabit EthernetSlideshow: The evolution of Ethernet
Pre-standard 40 Gigabit and 100 Gigabit Ethernet products -- server network interface cards, switch uplinks and switches -- are expected to hit the market later this year. And standards-compliant products are expected to ship in the second half of next year, not long after the expected June 2010 ratification of the 802.3ba standard.
The IEEE, which began work on the standard in late 2006, is expected to define two different speeds of Ethernet for two different applications: 40G for server connectivity and 100G for core switching.
