Features and Characteristics of Ethernet 802.3 Standards
Specify the characteristics (e.g., speed, length, topology, cable type, etc.) of the following 802.3 (Ethernet) standards:
10BaseT
10BaseTX
10Base2
10Base5
100BaseFX
Gigabit Ethernet
As outlined in Chapter 1, the IEEE 802 standards specify the characteristics of LAN systems. Of all the standards detailed by the IEEE, the most widely implemented is the 802.3 standard. Since the introduction of the original 802.3 standards, many substandards have been developed, each of which has its own specifications.
Each 802.3 standard specifies the signaling mode (baseband or broadband), topology, data rates, and media type used. The following sections describe the characteristics of the 802.3 standards.
