IEEE Std 802.3ab (GigaBit Ethernet 1000BaseT)
Publisher: Institute of Electrical & Electronics Enginee

So i am looking at some computers and some say the Ethernet is Gigabit Ethernet, Exactly what is "Gigabit Ethernet"? Gigabit Ethernet backbones Hybrid Gigabit Ethernet/ATM Core Network. This was later followed by the release of IEEE 802.3ab in 1999. The new standard specified that gigabit Ethernet over copper wiring requires autonegotiation. 802.3z is commonly referred to as 1000BASE-X, where -X refers to either -CX, -SX, -LX, or (non-standard) -ZX. Does this CAT-5e is certified for gigabit ehternet under the IEEE 802.3ab(1000BASE-T) standard. Network configuration and design. It is most commonly used for 100 Mbit/s networks, such as 100BASE-TX Ethernet, although IEEE 802.3ab defines standards for 1000BASE-T - Gigabit Ethernet over category 5 cable. As if 1 Grits/sec wasn't enough, the IEEE is working to define 10-Gigabit Ethernet(sometimes called “10 GE”).

GO IEEE Std 802.3ab (GigaBit Ethernet 1000BaseT) Author: NO Type: eBook. Cat 5 cable typically has three twists per inch of each twisted pair of 24 gauge copper It was formally defined in 2001 as the TIA/EIA-568-B standard, which no longer recognizes the original Cat 5 specification. 10-Gigabit Ethernet (IEEE 802.3ae).
