Questions addressed by Mei in the video include the following:
* Why does the 40GBase-T standard require a new type of cabling? How will it differ from our current cabling?
* What did we learn from 10GBase-T?
* What data center needs will 40GBase-T applications address?
* Will copper twisted-pair cabling still be relevant for tomorrow's data centers?
* What other options are viable for 40GBase-T?
