10Base-5
An Ethernet implementation in which the physical medium
is a doubly shielded, 50-ohm coaxial cable capable of
carrying data at 10 Mbps for a length of 500 meters (also
referred to as thicknet). Also known as thick Ethernet.
10Base-2
An Ethernet implementation in which the physical medium
is a single-shielded, 50-ohm RG58A/U coaxial cable capable
of carrying data at 10 Mbps for a length of 185 meters (also
referred to as AUI or thinnet). Also known as thin Ethernet.
10Base-T
An Ethernet implementation in which the physical medium
is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) of wires capable of
carrying data at 10 Mbps for a maximum distance of 185
meters. Also known as twisted-pair Ethernet.
100Base-TX
An Ethernet implementation in which the physical medium
is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) of wires capable of
carrying data at 100 Mbps for a maximum distance of 100
meters. Also known as fast Ethernet.
