Between what years did Fast Ethernet come about?
Fast Ethernet came about between the years 1995 and 1998.
Fast Ethernet came about between the years 1995 and 1997.
Fast Ethernet, also known as IEEE 802.3u, is a network standard that supports data transfer rates of up to 100 Mbps (megabits per second). To determine the years in which Fast Ethernet came about, we need to consider the IEEE 802.3u standard's release date and adoption by manufacturers.
The IEEE 802.3u standard was ratified in June 1995. This means that Fast Ethernet became an official industry standard during this time. However, it took some additional time for manufacturers to produce and release networking equipment that supported Fast Ethernet.
Generally, it can be said that Fast Ethernet started to become widely available to the public from the mid-1990s onwards. By the late 1990s, it was commonly used in both consumer and business networking environments.
Therefore, to answer your question, Fast Ethernet came about between the years of approximately 1995 and the late 1990s.
