It's right across the aisle from a bunch of new 32x400G gear that just went in. The longevity of Ethernet is a blessing and a curse to behold.

2024-05-11 22:43:13 +0000 UTCI have to say I sighed pretty loudly when yesterday I walked by a 3550-12G that is *STILL* in production on the $DAY_JOB network.

2024-05-11 22:36:23 +0000 UTCI thought so too, but there might be a slight difference! https://pinoutguide.com/NetworkCables/cisco_gigastack_pinout.shtml

2024-05-10 17:29:24 +0000 UTCMinor niggle: they were probably just using the 1394a/FireWire cables and ports but not the FireWire 400 protocol itself. :) (400 megabit FireWire interconnect for gigabit switches?) Still a really odd choice.
