color of ethernet ports?
I have seen pictures of some high-end mainboards, which have a red ethernet
port and a black port. The red being a 2.5GBASE-T port. Sombody told me that 10 Gbps ports are blue, but I doubt that. Last place I worked at had a cluster with 10GBASE-T and I am sure it was all Henry Ford black. USB has white/black/blue ports. Is there any color convention for ethernet? |

Is there any color convention for ethernet? My Asus RT-N10P router has 4 yellow ports (10/100BaseT) for LAN connections and 1 blue port for WAN. An older router I had (NetGear, IIRC) had 4 black ports for LAN and 1 yellow for WAN, also 10/100BaseT. The Asus has wireless also, but the NetGear didn't, although I doubt that that had anything to do with the port colors :-) -- SC Tom |
