Good news is no new wiring is needed.
""A new Ethernet standard IEEE 802.3bz has been released which boosts the theoretical bandwidth over the existing twisted pair copper wires to 2.5Gbps (2.5GBASE-T) and 5Gbps (5GBASE-T). That's five times the current theoretical bandwidth achieved on cables designed according to the 1000BASE-T standard."Aditya Tiwari in fossBytes said that this standard has boosted speeds to 2.5Gbps and 5Gbps up to 100m length on the same Cat5e and Cat6 copper wires currently used. "Large organizations having thousands of meters of copper cabling inside their offices could take a breath of relief because they won't have to reinstall them.""
"Cisco shared its applause for the new standard in a recent blog from Gupta. He said, "As new 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless technology is being deployed the need to offload more and more data at higher and higher speeds from the wireless to the wired network has never been so critical.""
