Ethernet supports speeds as low as 10 Mbps and as high as 1 Gbps. There are new initiatives to support 10 Gbps in the near future.

Ethernet data transfer rates have been increased from the original 2.94 megabits per second (Mbit/s) to the latest 100 gigabits per second (Gbit/s).

1 Name three types of Ethernet What transmission speed does each support?

(From: Jean Andrews CompTIA A+ 6th Edition pg. 846) The three variations of Ethernet are primarily distinguished from one another by speed: (1) 10-Mbps Ethernet, (2) 100-Mbps or Fast Ethernet, and (3) 1000-Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet.

Will a Homeplug get me the same speeds as a standard Ethernet lead?

That will depend on which homeplug type adapters you use. Lots of adapters are rated at 85Mbps which is slower than the 100Mbps that is most common with standard ethernet connections. Some homeplug adapters, however, support up to 200Mbps allowing them to actually be faster in between the adapters than the rest of the 100Mpbs network. You'll just need to pay attention to what speed the adapters are rated for.


Differences between Ethernet Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet?

The 'Ether' part of Ethernet denotes that the system is not meant to be restricted for use on only one medium type, copper cables, fibre cables and even radio waves can be used. Fast Ethernet Network was developed as an upgrade to traditional Ethernet Networking. Fast Ethernet improved traditional Ethernet by increasing transfer rates 10 times, from 10 Megabit to 100 Megabit speed. Gigabit Ethernet Network is an upgrade on Fast Ethernet Network equivalent to Fast Ethernet Networks improvement over Fast Ethernet Network, offering speeds of 1000 Megabits (1 Gigabit) Cisco have a good document with diagrams and a reasonable amount of depth that answers your questions on 10/100/1000 Ethernet. See related link. Ethernet card would be 10Mbps (mega bauds per second) Fast Ethernet card would be 100Mbps. Most ethernet cards sold today are Fast Ethernet or better. Look for the 100Mbps or the 10/100Mbps specification. The only difference between the both is the speed. Hence both cards are basically the same using the same technology except the fast Ethernet card can run on 10/100mb/s, an astonishing speed. Original 10Base2, 10Base5 and 10baseT Ethernet (thin coaxial cable, thick coaxial cable and twisted pair, respectively) specifications offered a 10Mbit/second throughput (data transfer rate). Although 1 Byte is 8 bits, 10Mbits in practice doesn't mean 1.25MBytes/second, because there's some extra information transferred. On average it can be seen as a ~1MByte/second link speed. Then new standards appeared, some of them exotic (like 100VG AnyLan), but the new Ethernet standard was 100baseTX, which used twisted pair (like 10baseT, but with slightly higher quality requirements - Category 5 cable). It has been called Fast Ethernet, as it offered 100Mbit/sec transfer speed, a 10-fold improvement. Usually all the network equipment can talk both 10baseT and 100baseTX (for example network switches have "10/100" ports). But this was not enough - then came a next speed-up: the 1000baseTX, still running on twisted pair, but with even higher cable quality requirements, offering 1000Mbit/s transfer speed, thus called Gigabit Ethernet: 1000 Mega = 1 Giga.


Which one is greater speed 256 kbit or 100 mbps?

100mbps is much faster than 256kbps. 1000kb is roughly 1MB. Meaning 100mbps is exponentially faster than 256kbps

Opportunities in using Gigabit Ethernet over Fast Ethernet?

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.


Is there any difference between 1000 mbps io box and 10 100 mbps io box?

I'm not sure what you mean by io box, but generally 10/100 means the network devices can communicate with other network devices at either 10mbps or 100mbps. If both are capable of 100, then 100 is used. If one is only capable of 10mbps then 10 is used. 1000mbps or Gigabit Ethernet is 10x faster than 100mbps. If is also backward compatible like 100mbps devices, but will only run at full speed is you connect it to other Gigabit devices and use the correct wiring.


Does 100Mbps give better internet speed than 11Mbps?
