10Base-2 An IEEE Standard (802.3) for local area networks.
Complying networks must be able to carry information at
a rate of 10 Mb/s over distances up to 606 feet (185
meters) of thin coaxial cable.
10Base-5 An IEEE Standard (802.3) for local area networks.
Complying networks must be capable of carrying
information at a rate of 10 Mb/s over distances up 1640
feet (500 meters) of thick coaxial cable.
10Base-T An IEEE Standard (802.3) for local area networks.
Complying networks must be able to carry information at
a rate of 10 Mb/s over distances up to 328 feet (100
meters) of unshielded twisted-pair cable.
66-Type Wiring Environment Also called Premises Distribution System (PDS). The
AT&T wiring system in which the telephone nodes and
other communications devices connect to the cross-
connect block.
110-Type Wiring Environment Also called Premises Distribution Systems (PDS). The
AT&T wiring system in which the telephone nodes and
other communications devices can be easily added and
rearranged with modular wiring components and
patch cords.
802.3 An IEEE standard for Ethernet local area networks based
on Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision
Detection (CSMA/CD), which includes 10Base-2,
10Base-5, and 10Base-T.
Adapter A device that supports the interconnection of different
sizes and/or types of plugs.
Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) The interface between the medium attachment unit
(MAU) and a node within a local area network (LAN).
