10BASE-T
IEEE 802.3 specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over two pairs of Category 3, 4, or 5
UTP cable.
100BASE-TX
IEEE 802.3u specification for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet over two pairs of Category 5
or better UTP cable.
1000BASE-LX
IEEE 802.3z specification for Gigabit Ethernet over two strands of 50/125, 62.5/125
or 9/125 micron core fiber cable.
1000BASE-SX
IEEE 802.3z specification for Gigabit Ethernet over two strands of 50/125 or 62.5/125
micron core fiber cable.
1000BASE-T
IEEE 802.3ab specification for Gigabit Ethernet over 100-ohm Category 5, 5e or 6
twisted-pair cable (using all four wire pairs).
1000BASE-ZX
Long-haul Gigabit Ethernet over two strands of 9/125 micron core fiber cable.
Auto-Negotiation
Signalling method allowing each node to select its optimum operational mode (e.g.,
speed and duplex mode) based on the capabilities of the node to which it is
connected.
Bandwidth
The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies available for network
signals. Also synonymous with wire speed, the actual speed of the data
transmission along the cable.
Collision
A condition in which packets transmitted over the cable interfere with each other.
Their interference makes both signals unintelligible.
Collision Domain
Single CSMA/CD LAN segment.
