10Base5
10-Mbps baseband Ethernet specification using standard (thick) 50-ohmbaseband coaxial cable. 10Base5, which is part of the IEEE 802.3 basebandphysical layer specification, has a distance limit of 500 meters per segment.

10BaseF
10-Mbps baseband Ethernet specification that refers to the 10BaseFB,10BaseFL, and 10BaseFP standards for Ethernet over fiber-optic cabling. Seealso 10BaseFB, 10BaseFL, 10BaseFP, and Ethernet.

10BaseFB
10-Mbps baseband Ethernet specification using fiber-optic cabling. 10BaseFBis part of the IEEE 10BaseF specification. It is not used to connect user stations,but instead provides a synchronous signaling backbone that allows additionalsegments and repeaters to be connected to the network. 10BaseFB segments canbe up to 2000 meters long.

10BaseFL
10-Mbps baseband Ethernet specification using fiber-optic cabling. 10BaseFL ispart of the IEEE 10BaseF specification and, while able to interoperate withFOIRL, is designed to replace the FOIRL specification. 10BaseFL segmentscan be up to 1000 meters long if used with FOIRL, and up to 2000 meters if10BaseFL is used exclusively.

10BaseFP
10-Mbps fiber-passive baseband Ethernet specification using fiber-opticcabling. 10BaseFP is part of the IEEE 10BaseF specification. It organizes anumber of computers into a star topology without the use of repeaters.10BaseFP segments can be up to 500 meters long.

10BaseT
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 receivingdata. 10BaseT, which is part of the IEEE 802.3 specification, has a distancelimit of approximately 100 meters per segment.

10Broad36
10-Mbps broadband Ethernet specification using broadband coaxial cable.10Broad36, which is part of the IEEE 802.3 specification, has a distance limitof 3600 meters per segment.

100BaseFX
100-Mbps baseband Fast Ethernet specification using two strands of multimodefiber-optic cable per link. To guarantee proper signal timing, a 100BaseFX linkcannot exceed 400 meters in length. Based on the IEEE 802.3 standard. Seealso 100BaseX, Fast Ethernet, and IEEE 802.3.

100BaseT
100-Mbps baseband Fast Ethernet specification using UTP wiring. Like the10BaseT technology on which it is based, 100BaseT sends link pulses over thenetwork segment when no traffic is present. However, these link pulses containmore information than those used in 10BaseT. Based on the IEEE 802.3standard. Also known as Fast Ethernet.

100BaseT4
100-Mbps baseband Fast Ethernet specification using four pairs of Category 3,4, or 5 UTP wiring. To guarantee proper signal timing, a 100BaseT4 segmentcannot exceed 100 meters in length. Based on the IEEE 802.3 standard. Seealso Fast Ethernet and IEEE 802.3.

100BaseTX
100-Mbps baseband Fast Ethernet specification using two pairs of either UTPor STP wiring. The first pair of wires is used to receive data; the second is usedto transmit. To guarantee proper signal timing, a 100BaseTX segment cannotexceed 100 meters in length. Based on the IEEE 802.3 standard. Also known asFast Ethernet.

100BaseX
100-Mbps baseband Fast Ethernet specification that refers to the 100BaseFXand 100BaseTX standards for Fast Ethernet over fiber-optic cabling. Based onthe IEEE 802.3 standard. Also known as Fast Ethernet,and IEEE 802.3.
