10BASE-T
IEEE’s specifications for 10 Mbps Ethernet using 2-pair Category 3, 4
or 5 twisted-pair cable (100W STP or UTP). The maximum length of
cable for a point-to-point connection is 100 meters (328 feet).
100BASE-TX
IEEE’s specifications for 100 Mbps Ethernet using 2-pair Category 5
twisted-pair cable (100W STP or UTP). The maximum length of cable
for a point-to-point connection is 100 meters (328 feet).
100BASE-T4
IEEE’s specifications for 100 Mbps Ethernet using 4-pair Category 5
twisted-pair cable (100W STP or UTP). The maximum length of cable
for a point-to-point connection is 100 meters (328 feet).
100BASE-FX
IEEE’s specifications for 100 Mbps Ethernet using multimode fiber
optic cable. The maximum cable length for point-to-point connection
is 160 meters (525 feet) for this hub.
Bus Topology
A network topology where only one path exists between any two
nodes, and data transmitted by any node is concurrently available to all
other nodes on the same transmission medium.
Category 3, 4, 5 Twisted-Pair Cable
100W and 120Wbalanced cable and connecting hardware with
transmission characteristics rated up to 16 MHz for Category 3,
20 MHz for Category 4, and 100 MHz for Category 5. These
specifications apply to 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T4 cabling.
