10BaseT

Part of the original IEEE 802.3 standard, 10BaseT is the Ethernet specification of 10 Mbps baseband that uses two pairs of twisted-pair, Category 3, 4, or 5 cabling—using one pair to send data and the other to receive. 10BaseT has a distance limit of about 100 meters per segment. See also: Ethernet and IEEE 802.3.

100BaseT

Based on the IEEE 802.3u standard, 100BaseT is the Fast Ethernet specification of 100 Mbps baseband that uses UTP wiring. 100BaseT sends link pulses (containing more information than those used in 10BaseT) over the network when no traffic is present. See also: 10BaseT, Fast Ethernet, and IEEE 802.3.
