· What sort of cabling is suitable for Fast Ethernet protocols?
Ethernet cabling is cheap and fast enough for most purposes.
If you want greater speed, why not use gigabit ethernet? Just remember that all the devices and cabling must be capable of that speed or you won't actually see that speed.
The term that best describes an Ethernet system operating at 100 Mbps is "Fast Ethernet." Fast Ethernet is a standard that allows for data transmission at 100 megabits per second, typically using twisted pair cabling (like Category 5) or fiber optics. It was widely adopted in the late 1990s and serves as an upgrade from the original 10 Mbps Ethernet.
Ethernet standard 802.3u refers to Fast Ethernet, which supports data transfer rates of 100 Mbps. It primarily uses twisted-pair cabling (such as Category 5 cables) and can also operate over fiber optic connections. Fast Ethernet is widely utilized in local area networks (LANs) to provide faster data transmission compared to the original 10 Mbps Ethernet (802.3).
The version of Ethernet that runs at 100 megabits per second is known as Fast Ethernet. It is specified by the IEEE 802.3u standard and typically uses twisted pair cabling (such as Category 5) or fiber optics. Fast Ethernet supports both half-duplex and full-duplex modes, allowing for efficient data transmission in local area networks.
100 Mbps. There are several speeds for Ethernet; the term "Fast Ethernet" is used for the 100 Mbps variety.

10-Mbps Ethernet, 100-Mbps or Fast Ethernet, and 1000-Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet.
Fast Ethernet runs at 100Mbit and requires CAT5e cables. Gigabit Ethernet is 1,000Mbit and requires CAT6 cables
To determine the number of Fast Ethernet interfaces on a specific router, you would need to refer to the router's technical specifications or product documentation. Fast Ethernet typically refers to interfaces operating at 100 Mbps, and many routers may have multiple Fast Ethernet ports. If you provide the model of the router, I can help you find that information.
