GE 12A0-0103-A3 | UR 100MBPS ETHERNET | Industrial control module.Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) refers to transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of one gigabit per second (1 Gbps). It is significantly faster than Fast Ethernet, which operates at 100 megabits per second (100 Mbps) .
Gigabit Ethernet has several physical layer standards, including 1000BASE-T, which is the most popular variant. 1000BASE-T allows Gigabit Ethernet transmission over unshielded twisted pair (UTP) category 5, 5e, or 6 cabling.
