I am sorry, I am incorrect. I missed most of the GbE section in my CISCO
class, GbE now uses all 4 wire pairs (rather than just 2 as originally
designed) in a Cat5e wire or you can use Full-Duplex fiber optic (2 fibers).

GbE is a Full-Duplex protocol, but still only functions at 1Gigbit/sec.
And as 10GbE transfers at 10Gigbits/sec. (i.e. 1 or 10, respectfully,
gigs of data can be transferred per second.)

I'm am truly sorry about this mistake, and I thank you for ask because it
had me go back a read that section once more.
