    Related To: Electronic Design

    This series appears in the Communications and Electronic History Series Libraries

    Ethernet has risen to the top of the communications networking industry as a standard that dominates the data center down to the PC. The ubiquitous RJ-45 jack replaced coax decades ago. Compatibility between old and new versions of Ethernet is legendary. It celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2023. 

    The Ethernet Alliance has started an ongoing oral history, The Voices of Ethernet,  in the form of video interviews of key players in Ethernet's history and development starting with Robert Metcalfe. 

    “The Voices of Ethernet project tells the story of the technology’s journey from Xerox PARC in 1973 to the foundation technology of the Internet today. We talk to the key figures in this journey and let them tell their own stories.” - Peter Jones, President, Ethernet Alliance
