(receive) on an MDIX device.
RJ-45
The 8 Position 8 Contact (8P8C) (often called RJ45 see
below) modular plugs and sockets are communications
connectors.
Bridge
Device that connects and passes packets between two
network segments that use the same communications
protocol. Bridges operate at the data link layer (Layer 2) of
the
OSI reference model. In general, a bridge filters, forwards, or
floods an incoming frame based on the MAC address of that
frame.

Terms Description
Backbone
Part of a network that acts as the primary path for traffic that
is most often sourced from, and destined for, other networks.
Bandwidth
The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies
available for network signals. The term also is used to
describe the rated throughput capacity of a given network
medium or protocol. The frequency range necessary to
convey a signal measured in units of hertz (Hz).
broadcast storm
An undesirable network event in which many broadcasts are
sent simultaneously across all network segments. A
broadcast storm uses substantial network bandwidth and,
typically, causes network time-outs.
10BASE-T
10BaseT, which is part of the IEEE 802.3 specification, has a
distance limit of approximately 328 feet (100 meters) per
segment. See also Ether Channel and IEEE802.3.
100BASE-TX
100-Mbps baseband Fast Ethernet specification using two
pairs of either UTP or STP wiring. The first pair of wires
receives data; the second transmits data. To guarantee the
proper signal timing, a 100BaseTX segment cannot exceed
328 feet (100 meters) in length. Based on the IEEE 802.3
standard.
100BASE-FX
A 100-Mbps baseband Fast Ethernet specification using two
strands of multimode fiber-optic cable per link. To guarantee
proper signal timing, a 100BaseFX link cannot exceed 1312
feet (400 meters) in length. Based on the IEEE 802.3
