Several varieties of Ethernet faster than 1 Gbps on copper cable are available:

 2.5GBase-T: 2.5 Gbps speed that can operate on Cat-5e cable.

 5GBase-T: 5 Gbps speed that requires Cat-6 cable.

 10GBase-T: 10 Gbps speed that requires Cat-6A cable.

 25GBase-T: 25 Gbps speed that requires Cat-8 cable.

 40GBase-T: 40 Gbps speed that also requires Cat-8 cable.

There are also many varieties of 10 Gbps, 40 Gbps, 100 Gbps, 200 Gbps, and even 400 Gbps Ethernet that run on fiber-optic cable. In the near future, terabit (1,000 Gbps) Ethernet may be possible.
