Difference between Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet
Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet are various types of ethernet and are very high in speed.
Following are the important differences between Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet.
| Sr. No. | Key | Fast Ethernet | Gigabit Ethernet |
|---|
| 1 | Successor | Fast Ethernet is successor of 10-Base-T-Ethernet. | Gigabit Ethernet is successor of Fast Ethernet. |
| 2 | Network speed | Fast Ethernet speed is upto 100 Mbps. | Gigabit Ethernet speed is upto 1 Gbps. |
| 3 | Complexity | Fast Ethernet is simple to configure. | Gigabit Ethernet is quiet complex to configure. |
| 4 | Delay | Fast ethernet generates more delay. | Gigabit ethernet generates less delay than Fast Ethernet. |
| 5 | Coverage Limit | Fast Ethernet coverage limit is upto 10KM. | Gigabit Ethernet coverage limit is upto 70KM. |
| 6 | Round trip delay | Fast Ethernet round trip delay is 100 to 500 bit times. | Gigabit Ethernet round trip delay is 4000 bit times. |
