About Gigabit Ethernet
Gigabit Ethernet is a network technology specified by IEEE Standard 802.3ab. It extends the traditional 100Mbps Fast Ethernet technology to achieve 1000Mbps transmission and reception, while retaining the same CSMA/CD Ethernet protocol. Thus, while Gigabit Ethernet provides a tenfold increase in network capacity, it is wholly compatible with traditional 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network facilities. This compatibility is the key to easy and efficient upgrades to 1000Mbps in your network areas needing greater bandwidth. Upgrading selected areas to Gigabit Ethernet does not require hardware or software changes in network areas where traditional 100Mbps Ethernet is providing good service. For upgrading, Gigabit Ethernet is the clear choice in terms of
