Gigabit Ethernet • Gigabit Ethernet • As workstations and servers migrated from ordinary 10-Mbps Ethernet to 100-Mbps speeds, it became clear that even greater speeds were needed. Gigabit Ethernet was developed for an even faster Ethernet stan...

Fast and Giga Ethernet: 100 and 1000-Mbps • Fast and Giga Ethernet: 100 and 1000-Mbps • In computer networking, Fast Ethernet is a collective term for a number of Ethernet standards that carry traffic at the nominal rate of 100-Mbps, against t...

Energy-Efficient Ethernet • Energy-Efficient Ethernet • The IEEE 802.3az Ethernet standard, ratified in 2010, provides a standardized way for some Ethernet devices to reduce power consumption. Energy-Efficient Ethernet devices have a low-power...

...in the early 1970s, Ethernet has evolved into the most widely implemented physical and Data link layer protocol today and, in 1978, the International Standards Organisation (ISO) created a universal standard for exchanging information between an...

...DIN Rail, Industrial Ethernet and Low and High Temperature Grade Devices • DIN Rail, Industrial Ethernet and Low and High Temperature Grade Devices • While racks and standard office temperatures are very common when using an Ethernet Device in yo...

10 Gigabit Ethernet • 10-Gigabit Ethernet • From LAN to WAN to MAN • 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10-GBE), ratified in June 2002, is a logical extension of previous Ethernet versions. 10-GBE was designed to make the transition from LANs to Wide Area N...

...Standard and ThinNet Ethernet • Thick and ThinNet Ethernet: 10-Mbps • As a result of research done at Xerox Corporation in the early 1970s, Ethernet has evolved into the most widely implemented physical and Data link layer protocol today. Most co...

...Cable for Gigabit Ethernet longer than 550 meters • You can run Gigabit Ethernet over up to 2-km-long multimode fibre optic cable. However, the transceiver modules used for long-wave (1310-nm) Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-LX) launch only single-...

Ethernet Extensions • Ethernet extensions • Not a solution that you can do inmediately or for somewhat money. • Computer cables can only be too short, but never too long. The same applies to networking cables. Sometimes it is just the last met...
