100 Mbps Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, FastE, 100 Mb Ethernet
Today, Ethernet technologies are the most common networking standard for LAN (local area network) communications. Fast Ethernet, also known as FastE, is a carrier Ethernet providing speeds of up to 100 Mbps (100 megabits per second).
The original Ethernet speed was 10 Mbps and thus came about the term fast Ethernet for 100Mbps Ethernet. As bandwidth demand increases and new applications are deployed 100 Mbps Ethernet becomes more important in maintain network efficiencies and reducing bottlenecks. 100 Mb Ethernet can be utilized with a wide range of applications including Voice over IP (VoIP), SIP trunking, virtual private (LAN) services, video on demand and more.
100Mb Fast Ethernet provides your business with route optimized connectivity which ensures the fastest, most reliable data transmissions possible. 100 Mb Ethernet also costs less. 100 Mb fast Ethernet connections are less expensive than most comparable transport services including a DS3 which only provides speeds of up to 45 Mbps.
100 Mbps fast Ethernet can be used to connect two or more LAN’s in different locations as an alternative to a private line, point to point or multipoint to multipoint connection. 100 Mbps Ethernet can also be used with MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching). 100 Mb Ethernet MPLS allows for the prioritization of voice, data and video traffic depending on bandwidth allocation and traffic patterns. The most common form of 100 Mb Ethernet is 100BASE-TX which runs over two pairs of standard CAT5 cables, one twisted pair per direction.
