10BASE2 |
10-Mbps
baseband Ethernet specification using 50-ohm thin coaxial cable.
10BASE2, which is part of the IEEE 802.3 specification, has a distance
limit of 185 meters per segment. See also
Cheapernet,
Ethernet,
IEEE
802.3, and
Thinnet.

10BASE5
|
10-Mbps
baseband Ethernet specification using standard (thick) 50-ohm baseband
coaxial cable. 10BASE5, which is part of the IEEE 802.3 baseband
physical layer specification, has a distance limit of 500 meters per
segment. See also
Ethernet and
IEEE
802.3.
|
10BASE-F |
10-Mbps
baseband Ethernet specification that refers to the 10BASE-FB, 10BASE-FL,
and 10BASE-FP standards for Ethernet over fiber-optic cabling. See also 10BASE-FB,
10BASE-FL, 10BASE-FP,
and Ethernet.
|
10BASE-FB
|
10-Mbps
baseband Ethernet specification using fiber-optic cabling. 10BASE-FB is
part of the IEEE 10BASE-F specification. It is not used to connect user
stations, but instead provides a synchronous signaling backbone that
allows additional segments and repeaters to be connected to the network.
10BASE-FB segments can be up to 2000 meters long. See also 10BASE-F
and Ethernet.
|
10BASE-FL |
10-Mbps
baseband Ethernet specification using fiber-optic cabling. 10BASE-FL is
part of the IEEE 10BASE-F specification and, while able to interoperate
with FOIRL, is designed to replace the FOIRL specification. 10BASE-FL
segments can be up to 1000 meters long if used with FOIRL, and up to
2000 meters if 10BASE-FL is used exclusively. See also 10BASE-F,
Ethernet, and
FOIRL.
|
10BASE-FP
|
10-Mbps
fiber-passive baseband Ethernet specification using fiber-optic cabling.
10BASE-FP is part of the IEEE 10BASE-F specification. It organizes a
number of computers into a star topology without the use of repeaters.
10BASE-FP segments can be up to 500 meters long. See also 10BASE-F
and Ethernet.
|
10BASE-T |
10-Mbps
baseband Ethernet specification using two pairs of twisted-pair cabling
(Category 3, 4, or 5): one pair for transmitting data and the other for
receiving data. 10BASE-T, which is part of the IEEE 802.3 specification,
has a distance limit of approximately 100 meters per segment. See also
Ethernet
and IEEE 802.3.
|
10Broad36 |
10-Mbps
broadband Ethernet specification using broadband coaxial cable.
10Broad36, which is part of the IEEE 802.3 specification, has a distance
limit of 3600 meters per segment. See also
Ethernet
and IEEE 802.3.

|
100BASE-FX
|
100-Mbps
baseband Fast Ethernet specification using two strands of multimode
fiber-optic cable per link. To guarantee proper signal timing, a
100BASE-FX link cannot exceed 400 meters in length. Based on the IEEE
802.3 standard. See also 100BASE-X,
Fast Ethernet, and
IEEE
802.3.
|
100BASE-T |
100-Mbps
baseband Fast Ethernet specification using UTP wiring. Like the 10BASE-T
technology on which it is based, 100BASE-T sends link pulses over the
network segment when no traffic is present. However, these link pulses
contain more information than those used in 10BASE-T. Based on the IEEE
802.3 standard. See also 10BASE-T,
Fast Ethernet, and
IEEE
802.3.
|
100BASE-T4 |
100-Mbps
baseband Fast Ethernet specification using four pairs of Category 3, 4,
or 5 UTP wiring. To guarantee proper signal timing, a 100BASE-T4 segment
cannot exceed 100 meters in length. Based on the IEEE 802.3 standard.
See also Fast Ethernet and
IEEE
802.3.
|
100BASE-TX |
100-Mbps
baseband Fast Ethernet specification using two pairs of either UTP or
STP wiring. The first pair of wires is used to receive data; the second
is used to transmit. To guarantee proper signal timing, a 100BASE-TX
segment cannot exceed 100 meters in length. Based on the IEEE 802.3
standard. See also 100BASE-X,
Fast
Ethernet, and
IEEE 802.3.
|
100BASE-X |
100-Mbps
baseband Fast Ethernet specification that refers to the 100BASE-FX and
100BASE-TX standards for Fast Ethernet over fiber-optic cabling. Based on
the IEEE 802.3 standard. See also 100BASE-FX,
100BASE-TX,
Fast
Ethernet, and
IEEE 802.3.

100VG-AnyLAN
|
100-Mbps
Fast Ethernet and Token Ring media technology using four pairs of
Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cabling. This high-speed transport technology,
developed by Hewlett-Packard, can be made to operate on existing 10BASE-T
Ethernet networks. Based on the IEEE 802.12 standard. See also
