If you are talking about a LAN, then just making sure that all devices and cables are capable of gigabit speeds.

Which ethernet card can handle gigabit network traffic?

You would need the ethernet card can handle gigabit network traffic cable.


If you want to upgrade your 100BaseT Ethernet so that it will run about 10 times the current speed what technology would you use?

You would want to move to a Gigabit network. This will require a switch capable of Gigabit speeds, network cabling capable of Gigabit speeds (Cat 5e for example), and a network interface on a computer that is also Gigabit rated. Most modern switches are Gigabit rated (even inexpensive soho switches).


Why used gigabit Ethernet lan?

You would use gigabit ethernet in a LAN where you want speed; otherwise, most LANs run at 100 megabits per second, which is considerably slower.

Differences between Ethernet Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet?

Here’s a concise overview of the differences between Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet: 1. **Speed** **Ethernet**: 10 Mbps **Fast Ethernet**: 100 Mbps **Gigabit Ethernet**: 1 Gbps (1000 Mbps) 2. **Standards** **Ethernet**: IEEE 802.3 (e.g., 10BASE-T) **Fast Ethernet**: IEEE 802.3u (e.g., 100BASE-TX) **Gigabit Ethernet**: IEEE 802.3z (fiber) and 802.3ab (copper, e.g., 1000BASE-T) 3. **Transmission Medium** **Ethernet**: Twisted pair or coaxial cables. **Fast Ethernet**: Twisted pair (Cat 5) and fiber optics. **Gigabit Ethernet**: Twisted pair (Cat 5e or better) and fiber optics. read more...tinyurl. com/578xthwt


Why would a realtek 8168 LAN card not work at 1gbit speed even though it says that in the manual?

In order for you to achieve gigabit data rates, you need: * A gigabit Ethernet card (as you have) * A gigabit router * Cabling that is of correct length and quality to carry a gigabit signal. If these conditions are not met, the card will drop to the next available transfer rate.


Why would your laptop need an Ethernet adapter?

If you ever plan to connect your laptop to a wired network, you will need an ethernet adapter. If you never plan to plug it in to a network or if you will always use wireless, an ethernet adapter is not necessary.


Is Ethernet faster then ADSL?

Even a slow Ethernet network would be faster than ADSL, since 10baseT LAN networks run at 10 Mbps. An ADSL connection typically tops out at around 8 Mbps. However, if you are talking about throughput, then they might be very close, since Ethernet has problems with packet collision. Then again, most Ethernet networks today for LANs run at 100 Mbps, which would place it far faster than ADSL based on speed measurements. However, ADSL does not use the same transmission method as Ethernet, but Ethernet will still be faster than ADSL (especially if you consider the Gigabit speeds).


What would be the best cable to use if you are installing GigaBit Ethernet?

A cat5e should work up to 1 gig. Cat6 is optimal but more expensive and harder to wire.


What type of 10-gigabit ethernet can carry signals the farthest nearly 25 miles?

It would be 10Base-ER. It has a maximum rang of 40 Kilometers witch is 24.4 miles.
