Fast Ethernet runs at 100Mbit and requires CAT5e cables. Gigabit Ethernet is 1,000Mbit and requires CAT6 cables
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
100 Mbps. There are several speeds for Ethernet; the term "Fast Ethernet" is used for the 100 Mbps variety.

· What sort of cabling is suitable for Fast Ethernet protocols?
10-Mbps Ethernet, 100-Mbps or Fast Ethernet, and 1000-Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet.
Ethernet cabling is cheap and fast enough for most purposes.
There is no difference; Ethernet is Ethernet, regardless of where it is deployed.
Fast Ethernet is 10 times faster than 10BaseT, so 45 seconds.
