At which point the 8P8C connectors on desktops and laptops changes from RJ45 to
SFP+ cage with LC connector, or direct-attach SFP+ between
laptop and "active" fabric extender in the nearby wall jack; fed
by fiber, with 10G-SR optical...
Because the copper spec for >1gig was 10GBase-CX4; much heavier than Cat5.
And there won't be much tolerance for the copper 15 meter distance
limit in any case.
