What is Gigabit Ethernet?
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) is a high-speed networking standard with data transfer rates of up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps), a major upgrade from older standards like 10Base-T (10 Mbps) and Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps). It is the preferred choice for Local Area Networks (LANs) due to its increased bandwidth. GbE requires compatible hardware, including Network Interface Cards (NICs) in devices and network infrastructure like Ethernet Switches and Routers to manage traffic. Many GbE devices also feature Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE), or IEEE 802.3az, which reduces energy use by enabling low-power idle modes during inactivity without affecting performance.
