If you’ve read this far, I’m sure you’re willing to get read on to get your answer. It’s called innovation, and Gigabit Ethernet is the next evolution of the same old ethernet that has been around since 1973. Modern internet technology often simply finds new and better ways to make use of what already exists. There’s also the fact that those wires are pretty much everywhere at this point, so upgrading the existing technology is a lot cheaper than starting over from scratch.
Part of this is that the original cables were designed well enough that there hasn’t been a need to change them yet, beyond upgrading the different ethernet cable types along the way. Cat5 and Cat6 Cables have been in use for a long time, and with internet technology shooting for the stars, it’s often hard to believe that we’re still using the same cables, ports, and even some of the same routers we’ve been using for, oh, 20+ years now. If you dig Power Over Ethernet technology like we do, few things are more interesting than how data gets down those cables. This translates to 1000 Mbps which you may recognize as being really freaking fast. The “Gigabit” stands for 1 gigabit of data per second, or Gbps.
Gigabit ethernet is the evolution beyond Fast Ethernet.
