1000BASE-T is a computer networking term for the Gigabit Ethernet standard that provides data speeds of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) over copper twisted-pair cabling. It is defined by the IEEE 802.3ab standard and is also known as Gigabit Ethernet or 1 GigE.

Meaning of the term

1000: Refers to the maximum transmission speed of 1000 Mbps, or 1 Gigabit per second.

BASE: Indicates that it is a baseband technology. This means it uses a single frequency to send and receive digital data, unlike broadband, which uses multiple frequencies.

T: Signifies that the signal is transmitted over twisted-pair copper cabling, the type of wiring used in standard Ethernet cables.
