Glossary
This section defines technical terms related to communications wiring
environments, local area networks, and the repeater.
10Base-T
An IEEE standard (802.3) for unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) wiring.
Stations are connected using a star topology. The maximum UTP cable
length is 100 meters (328 feet).
100Base-TX
An IEEE standard (802.3u) for high-speed Ethernet.
802.3
An IEEE standard that governs Carrier Sense Multiple
Access/Collision Detect (CSMA/CD) networks. 802.3, referred to as
Ethernet, operates on different cable types (e.g., UTP, coax, fiber).
Auto-negotiation
The algorithm that allows two devices at either end of a link segment
to negotiate common features and functions.
Category 3 Balanced Cable
Balanced 100 ohms and 120 ohms cables and associated connected
hardware whose transmission characteristics are specified up to 16
MHz commonly used by 10Base-T installations. Requirements are
outlined in ISO/IEC 11801 and clause 23 of the IEEE 802.3 standard.
Category 4 Balanced Cable
Balanced 100 ohms aand 120 ohms cables and associated connected
hardware whose transmission characteristics are specified up to 20
MHz as per ISO/IEC 11801 and clause 23 of the IEEE 802.3 standard.
