1.4 Glossary
10BASE-T
IEEE 802.3 specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over two pairs of Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable.
100BASE-TX
IEEE 802.3u specification for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet over two pairs of Category 5 UTP cable.
Ethernet
A network communication system developed and standardized by DEC, Intel, and Xerox, using
baseband transmission, CSMA/CD access, logical bus topology, and coaxial cable. The successor
IEEE 802.3 standard provides for integration into the OSI model and extends the physical layer and
media with repeaters and implementations that operate on fiber, thin coax and twisted-pair
cable.
Fast Ethernet
A 100 Mbps network communication system based on Ethernet and the CSMA/CD access method.
Media Access Control (MAC)
A portion of the networking protocol that governs access to the transmission medium, facilitating
the exchange of data between network nodes.
Auto-negotiation
Signalling method allowing each node to select its optimum operational mode (e.g., 10 Mbps or
100 Mbps and half or full duplex) based on the capabilities of the node to which it is connected.
