Segment
A single collision domain. Each Ethernet segment supports either a 10
Mb/s or 100 Mb/s band . A multiple segment implementation increases
the band of a Local Area Network.
Stack
A stack is a group of interconnected repeaters.
Twisted Pair Wire
Two insulated copper wires twisted together. The twists vary in length
to reduce the potential for signal interference between pairs. In cables
greater than 25 pairs, the twisted pairs are grouped and bound together
in a common cable sheath. Twisted pair cable is the most common type
of transmission media.
Uplink
The connection from one repeater to another, usually done to expand a
network segment.
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
Cable that is usually connected using RJ-45 connectors.
Wiring Environment
Any building communications wiring system.
Wiring Closet
A room, closet or cabinet where station cable is terminated on
crossconnect blocks and where the building communications system
can be administered.
