Would not consider frequency ranges different 5G concepts. Just frequencies. That would be like saying there’s 3 different ethernets.

They are different in many respects, not just frequencies, from the modulation techniques, range, interference rejection and speed. And also where they are deployed. (that’s with my microwave engineering hat on).

There are at least that many.

Original Ethernet used coaxial cable.

See this;

The Ethernet physical layer evolved over a considerable time span and encompasses coaxial, twisted pair and fiber-optic physical media interfaces, with speeds from 1 Mbit/s to 400 Gbit/s.[47] The first introduction of twisted-pair CSMA/CD was StarLAN, standardized as 802.3 1BASE5.[48] While 1BASE5 had little market penetration, it defined the physical apparatus (wire, plug/jack, pin-out, and wiring plan) that would be carried over to 10BASE-T through 10GBASE-T.

The most common forms used are 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T. All three use twisted-pair cables and 8P8C modular connectors. They run at 10 Mbit/s, 100 Mbit/s, and 1 Gbit/s, respectively.[49][50][51]
