I-Ethernet ekhawulezayo (FE) ligama le-Ethernet kwinethiwekhi yekhompyuter, ebonelela ngezinga lokudluliselwa kwe-100Mbps. Umgangatho we-IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-T Fast Ethernet waziswa ngokusemthethweni yi-IEEE kwi-1995, kwaye izinga lokudluliselwa kwe-Ethernet ngokukhawuleza laliyi-10Mbps ngaphambili. Umgangatho we-Ethernet okhawulezayo uquka amacandelwana amathathu: 100BASE-FX, 100BASE-TX, kunye ne-100BASE-T4. I-100 ibonisa izinga losulelo lwe-100Mbit/s. "ISISEKO" sithetha usasazo lwebhendi; Ileta emva kodash ibhekisela kwisixhobo sokuhambisa esithwala umqondiso, "T" imele isibini esijijekileyo (ithusi), "F" imele i-fiber optical; Uphawu lokugqibela (unobumba "X", inombolo "4", njl.) libhekisela kwindlela yekhowudi yomgca esetyenzisiweyo. Itheyibhile ilandelayo ibonisa iintlobo eziqhelekileyo ze-Ethernet ezikhawulezayo.
Xa kuthelekiswa ne-Ethernet ekhawulezayo, i-Gigabit Ethernet (GE) inokubonelela ngezinga lokudluliselwa kwe-1000Mbps kwinethiwekhi yekhompyutheni. Umgangatho we-Gigabit Ethernet (eyaziwa ngokuba yi-IEEE 802.3ab standard) yapapashwa ngokusemthethweni yi-IEEE ngo-1999, kwiminyaka embalwa kuphela emva kokufika komgangatho we-Fast Ethernet, kodwa ayizange isetyenziswe ngokubanzi kude kube malunga ne-2010. I-Gigabit Ethernet ithatha ifomathi yefreyimu. ye-IEEE 803.2 Ethernet kunye ne-CSMA / CD indlela yokulawula ukufikelela kwimidiya, enokusebenza kwi-half duplex kunye ne-duplex mode epheleleyo. I-Gigabit Ethernet ineentambo ezifanayo kunye nezixhobo kwi-Fast Ethernet, kodwa iyaguquguquka kwaye inoqoqosho. Ngophuhliso oluqhubekayo lwe-Gigabit Ethernet, iinguqulelo ezingaphezulu ziye zavela, ezifana ne-40G Ethernet kunye ne-100G Ethernet. I-Gigabit Ethernet inemigangatho eyahlukeneyo yomzimba, efana ne-1000BASE-X, i-1000BASE-T, kunye ne-1000BASE-CX.
