Glossary

10/100 BaseTX

An Ethernet connection over twisted-pair cables with a throughput of 
10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s.

10BaseT

A 10-Mb/s baseband Ethernet specification using two pairs of 
twisted-pair cabling (Category 3, 4, or 5): one pair for transmitting data 
and the other for receiving data. 10BaseT (part of the IEEE 802.3 
specification) has a distance limit of approximately 328 feet 
(100 meters) per segment.

100BaseTX

A 100-Mb/s baseband Fast Ethernet specification using two pairs of 
either unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) 
wiring. The first pair of wires is used to receive data; the second pair is 
used to transmit. To guarantee proper signal timing, a 100BaseTX 
segment cannot exceed 328 feet (100 meters) in length. 100BaseTX is 
based on the IEEE 802.3 standard.

AppleShare

A file-sharing protocol in Apple system software that allows sharing of 
files and network services through a file server in the Apple Macintosh 
environment.

Carrier sense 

In a local area network (LAN), an ongoing activity of a data station to 
detect whether another station is transmitting. 

Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD)

A protocol that requires carrier sense and in which a transmitting data 
station that detects another signal while transmitting stops sending, 
sends a jam signal and then waits for a variable period of time before 
sending again. Used in ethernet LAN technology.
