Hariho ibintu byinshi bikwiye kwiga kubyerekeranye na Ethernet. Hano turamenyekanisha cyane cyane uburyo twakwirinda gutakaza paki muburyo bwo kugenzura amakuru yingufu za Gigabit Ethernet. Kugenzura imigendekere ntishobora kunoza amakuru yinjira muri switch yose, ariko irinda gutakaza paki muri switch. Gigabit Ethernet yumubiri wa protocole IEEE isobanura intera nyinshi za Gigabit Ethernet kubitangazamakuru bitandukanye, harimo 1000Base-CX, 1000Base-SX, 1000Base-LX, 1000Base-T.

Muri byo, 1000Base-CX ni interineti ikoreshwa ku nsinga ya coaxial ya 155Ω. Nta bicuruzwa bifatika mubikorwa. 1000Base-T ni interineti ishobora gukoreshwa mubyiciro 5 cyangwa hejuru ya kabili ya kabili. Igipimo cyacyo ni IEEE802.3ab. Ibipimo ngenderwaho byasohotse muri kamena 1999, none ibicuruzwa byubucuruzi byatangijwe ku isoko.

1000Base - SX ikoresha 850nm yumurambararo wa laser interineti, ikwiranye gusa na fibre fibre. 1000Base-LX ikoresha 1300nm yumurambararo wa laser interineti, ikwiranye nuburyo bumwe na fibre yuburyo bwinshi. 1000Base-SX ikoreshwa cyane cyane kumurongo wikigo hamwe nurusobe rwumushinga.

1000Base-LX ikoreshwa cyane cyane mumiyoboro ya metero nkuru. Noneho indi miyoboro ikoreshwa cyane mumujyi ni intera ndende ya Gigabit Ethernet ihindura optique ya 1000Base-LH. Mubisanzwe, laseri zifite uburebure bwa 1300nm cyangwa 1550nm zikoreshwa, zishobora kugera kuri kilometero zirenga 50. Ndetse no kohereza intera ya 100km nta relay.

Hagomba kwerekanwa ko, kubera ko IEEE itanga intera yoherejwe na Gigabit Ethernet mugihe cyoherejwe nabi cyane, mubisabwa nyirizina, intera yohereza ibicuruzwa mu nganda zinyuranye irenze kure ibisanzwe, nka PowerRail ya Alcatel 1000 1000Base- LX Imigaragarire ya mega routing switch irashobora kohereza 22km nta relay mubizamini nyirizina.
