Ethernet
Ethernet is a technology that allows the transfer of information between devices in computer and industrial networks. Ethernet works only over wired networks.
Features
- Ethernet speeds range from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps.
- Lay communication cable UTP 5 (unshielded twisted pair 5 category). For higher speed communication use cable categories 5e or 6.
- Wire communication is protected against loss of signal. This is especially important, for example, for banking structures and in other cases of need for a stable uninterrupted signal.
- Wire communication is protected against signal loss.
- Ethernet is more secure than a Wi-Fi connection. The router is usually located in the same room as the devices, so access from the outside is severely limited.
- Ethernet is more secure than Wi-Fi.
- The cost of installation and maintenance of wired networks is significantly more expensive, if we are talking about laying Ethernet not for private use.

Deciding on the type of connection, you should start from the features of Ethernet. In the home, this type of connection is not particularly popular. For providing the Internet to commercial and other types of organizations Ethernet is more advantageous from the point of view of security.
