1000BASE-T

1000BASE-T is a standard for gigabit Ethernet cables that allows data to be transmitted at speeds up to 1,000 megabits per second (or 1 gigabit per second) over copper telephone-style cables, typically using Category 5e or better cables. It’s commonly used for high-speed internet, local networks, and connecting computers or devices within a building. By increasing the data transfer rate, 1000BASE-T enables faster file sharing, smoother streaming, and more responsive network performance, all while relying on familiar, widely available cabling infrastructure.
