Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps), the evolution of the fast Ethernet (100 Mbps), is one of the cost-effective networks for various home networks and small businesses to achieve stable network connectivity up to a few meters.
Gigabit Ethernet switches are widely adopted to improve the data rate up to around 1000 Mbps while the fast Ethernet supports the transmission speed of 10/100 Mbps. As the higher version of fast Ethernet switches, Gigabit Ethernet switches are highly valuable in connecting multiple devices such as security cameras, printers, servers and more to a local area network (LAN). Besides, Gigabit network switches are great choices for video creators and video game streamers who need high-definition devices, because the Gigabyte Ethernet switches ensure a smoother experience when compared to a fast Ethernet switch.
