- Tutorial
When I studied CCNA, IEEE standards strained me the most because of their number, types and names. And every time I had to look and see what standard this or that type of interface corresponds to. After many hours of work, I was able to create a heap of tables for each type of Ethernet interface, which includes the year of release of the standard, the type of interface, the data rate of the corresponding type of interface, the maximum segment length and the type of cable used. Glad to share with readers.

10 Gigabit Ethernet or 10GbE was the latest (as of 2006) and the fastest existing Ethernet standard. It determines the Ethernet version with a nominal data transfer rate of 10 Gb / s, which is 10 times faster than Gigabit Ethernet. The standard for fiber is specified in IEEE 802.3-2005, and for twisted pair in IEEE 802.3an-2006.

40-gigabit Ethernet (or 40GbE) and 100-gigabit Ethernet (or 100GbE) are Ethernet standards developed by the IEEE P802.3ba Ethernet Task Force from 2007 to 2011. These standards are the next step in the development of the Ethernet standards group, which had the highest speed of 10 gigabits per second until 2010. The new standards provide data transfer rates of 40 and 100 gigabits per second.
