Fast Ethernet
For networks that need higher transmission speeds, a faster speed
was developed and IEEE next established IEEE 802.3u, raising the
Ethernet speed from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps. Thus, fast Ethernet
arose and users quickly began converting from 10Mbps to
100Mbps.
Gigabit Ethernet
The demand for even higher speed created the gigabit Ethernet at
1000Mbps (or 1Gbps). The newer IEEE standard for gigabit
Ethernet is IEEE 802.3z. The only cabling media approved is the
fiber-optic pair. Watch for 10gig Ethernet.
