OK. That covers the switch end of things . . .

but what happens at the server end of the ethernet cable?

I thought real 90 meter ethernet doing 10G was out of spec for PCI, and therefore there are no NICs that can do it. It's a power thing, aparently. PCI has power limitations that 10G NIC manufactures can't meet? Has this changed?
