Belisarius is on a distinguished road
There are two types of gigabit cable that I know of. You have Cat6, which is copper based and basically looks/acts the same as regular 100-base cat5. Then you have the optical gigabit, which costs an arm and a leg, but (prefaced with I'm not an authority on the matter) gives better throughput.
