Fast Ethernet (also known as 100BASE-TX, 100BASE-FX, or 100 Mbps Ethernet) is a type of Ethernet technology that provides a data transfer rate of 100 megabits per second (Mbps) over twisted-pair cable, such as Category 5 (CAT5) or Category 6 (CAT6) cabling. It is the most common form of Ethernet and is used to connect computers to each other, as well as to the internet, in local area networks (LANs). Fast Ethernet is an improvement over the original Ethernet standard (10BASE-T), which had a maximum speed of 10 Mbps.
