| | Enterprise Standards: High Performance LANs to the Desktop |
 | | In the rare case that this is insufficient, the strategies to migrate high-performance desktops from 10baseT Ethernet (10 Mbps) to 100baseTX Ethernet (100 Mbps) have become fairly straightforward. |
 | | Generally speaking, if Cat 5 cabling is installed, transition from 10baseT to 100baseTX requires that a switch supporting 100baseTX be installed, the appropriate port be configured to support 100baseTX, and a 100baseTX NIC needs to be installed in the desktop. |
 | | The use of multiple desktop devices using 100baseTX (or even sufficient traffic to multiple desktops at 10baseTX) may case network congestion at the backbone. |
