- 10BASE-T.
10-Mbps baseband Ethernet specification using two pairs of twisted-pair cabling (Categories 3, 4, or 5)—one pair for transmitting data and the other for receiving data. 10BASE-T, which is part of the IEEE 802.3 specification, has a distance limit of approximately 328 feet (100 meters) per segment.
- 100BASE-T.
100-Mbps baseband Fast Ethernet specification using UTP wiring. Similar to the 10BASE-T technology on which it is based, 100BASE-T sends link pulses over the network segment when no traffic is present. However, these link pulses contain more information than those used in 10BASE-T. Based on the IEEE 802.3u standard.
- 1000BASE-T.
1000-Mbps baseband Gigabit Ethernet specification using twisted-pair based on the IEEE 802.3ab ...
