Start with the news release AMP Netconnect supports Gigabit Ethernet study from Tyco Electronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "Tyco Electronics' AMP Netconnect business is supporting an independent study of UTP (unshielded twisted pair) and STP (shielded twisted pair) systems for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T).". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Data compression board reduces microprocessor load from Comtech AHA: "Comtech AHA has introduced its latest low-cost GZIP data compression board, the AHA360-PCle, which allows for reduced microprocessor load and lower power consumption than other solutions.".
 
In March 2010, we covered the news from Yamar Electronics - take a look at Power line transceiver saves on data wires which says: "Yamar is offering the SIG60 power line transceiver semiconductor that transfers UART data over existing DC power lines to save on the need for data wires. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Samtec, Samtec offers cable-to-board interconnect systems, as well as Network Rail certifies Edac 516 Series connectors from Edac, and Converter powers energy-monitoring systems from Bear Power Supplies.
