Gigabit
Ethernet
Because it’s built on Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet
works seamlessly with your existing Ethernet
adapters and switches. The 1Gbps (or 1000Mbps)
speeds of Gigabit Ethernet are a full order of
magnitude faster than Fast Ethernet, and 100
times faster than standard Ethernet. Copper
Gigabit Ethernet is also affordable—adapters
start at under $100 - and it runs over standard
Category 5 (Cat-5) copper cable.

Many network-centric applications
and their associated rich media
require more bandwidth.
Bandwidth requirements for handling
e-mail traffic in particular are
escalating, since more and more
people are sending messages with
large attachments to numerous
recipients. |

Today’s servers and desktops are
powerful enough to handle Gigabit
Ethernet speeds effectively. |
