Ethernet is a local area network (LAN) technology that enables devices to connect to each other and share data. Ethernet uses a variety of technologies, including twisted pair cabling, optical fiber cabling, and wireless methods. Ethernet is one of the most common LAN technologies in use today.
Ethernet was first developed in the 1970s by Bob Metcalfe and DIX (Digital Equipment Corporation, Intel Corporation, and Xerox Corporation). Ethernet was designed as a way to connect computers in a LAN so they could share data. The first version of Ethernet used a coaxial cable to connect devices. Later versions of Ethernet used twisted pair cabling or optical fiber cables for higher speeds. Wireless methods were also developed for connecting devices without using cables.
Today, there are many different types of Ethernet products available on the market. These products support various speeds and can be used in different environments such as home networks, small office/home office (SOHO) networks, enterprise networks, and data centers.
