Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) is a term describing various technologies for transmitting Ethernet packets at a rate of a gigabit per second, as defined by the IEEE 802.3-2005 standard.
The initial standard for Gigabit Ethernet was standardized by the IEEE in June 1998 as IEEE 802.3z.
Fiber Gigabit Ethernet has recently been overtaken by 10 Gigabit Ethernet which was ratified by the IEEE in 2002 and provided data rates 10 times greater than that of Gigabit Ethernet.

 Ethernet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ethernet was originally based on the idea of computers communicating over a shared coaxial cable acting as a broadcast transmission medium.
Due to the ubiquity of Ethernet, the ever-decreasing cost of the hardware needed to support it and the reduced panel space needed by twisted pair Ethernet, most manufacturers now build the functionality of an Ethernet card directly into PC motherboards obviating the need for installation of a separate network card.
The Ethernet Version 2 or Ethernet II frame, the so-called DIX frame (named after DEC, Intel, and Xerox); this is the most common today, as it is often used directly by the Internet Protocol.
