  2. Data-rate units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-rate_units

    The ISQ symbols for the bit and byte are bit and B, respectively.In the context of data-rate units, one byte consists of 8 bits, and is synonymous with the unit octet.The abbreviation bps is often used to mean bit/s, so that when a 1 Mbps connection is advertised, it usually means that the maximum achievable bandwidth is 1 Mbit/s (one million bits per second), which is 0.125 MB/s (megabyte per ...

  3. Gigabit Ethernet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabit_Ethernet

    Each 1000BASE-T network segment is recommended to be a maximum length of 100 meters (330 feet), [5] [a] and must use Category 5 cable or better (including Cat 5e and Cat 6). Autonegotiation is a requirement for using 1000BASE-T [ 6 ] according to Section 28D.5 Extensions required for Clause40 (1000BASE-T) . [ 7 ]

  4. Fast Ethernet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Ethernet

    The prior Ethernet speed was 10 Mbit/s. Of the Fast Ethernet physical layers, 100BASE-TX is by far the most common. Fast Ethernet was introduced in 1995 as the IEEE 802.3u standard [ 1 ] and remained the fastest version of Ethernet for three years before the introduction of Gigabit Ethernet . [ 2 ]

  6. Ethernet physical layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_physical_layer

    Generally, layers are named by their specifications: [8] 10, 100, 1000, 10G, ... – the nominal, usable speed at the top of the physical layer (no suffix = megabit/s, G = gigabit/s), excluding line codes but including other physical layer overhead (preamble, SFD, IPG); some WAN PHYs (W) run at slightly reduced bitrates for compatibility reasons; encoded PHY sublayers usually run at higher ...

  7. 100 Gigabit Ethernet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_Gigabit_Ethernet

    The purpose of this project is to extend the 802.3 protocol to operating speeds of 40 Gbit/s and 100 Gbit/s in order to provide a significant increase in bandwidth while maintaining maximum compatibility with the installed base of 802.3 interfaces, previous investment in research and development, and principles of network operation and ...

  8. Ethernet over twisted pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_over_twisted_pair

    The cable must be capable of transmitting 600 MHz for 1000BASE-T1 and 66 MHz for 100BASE-T1. 2.5 Gb/s, 5 Gb/s, and 10 Gb/s over a 15 m single pair is standardized in 802.3ch-2020. [25] In June 2023, 802.3cy added 25 Gb/s speeds at lengths up to 11 m. [26] Similar to PoE, Power over Data Lines (PoDL) can provide up to 50 W to a device. [27]

  9. Measuring network throughput - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measuring_network_throughput

    When talking about circuit bit rates, people will interchangeably use the terms throughput, bandwidth and speed, and refer to a circuit as being a '64 k' circuit, or a '2 meg' circuit — meaning 64 kbit/s or 2 Mbit/s (see also the List of connection bandwidths). However, a '64 k' circuit will not transmit a '64 k' file in one second.
