10BASE-T
IEEE’s specifications for running 10 Mbps Ethernet using twisted-pair cable (100 W STP or UTP). The maximum length of cable for a point-to-point connection is 100 meters, and the maximum number of nodes is 1024.
100BASE-TX
IEEE’s specifications for 100 Mbps Ethernet using 2-pairs of Category 5 twisted-pair cable. The Fast EtherHub 3500 models require 100W STP or UTP cable. The maximum length of cable for a point-to- point connection is 100 meters, and the maximum number of nodes is 1024.
100BASE-T4
IEEE’s specifications for 100 Mbps Ethernet using 4-pairs of Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted-pair cable. The 100BASE-T4 SmartExtender Module requires 100 W STP or UTP cable. The maximum length of cable for a point-to-point connection is 100 meters, and the maximum number of nodes is 1024.
100BASE-FX
IEEE’s specifications for 100 Mbps Ethernet using multimode fiber optic cable. The 100BASE-FX SmartExtender Module must be used to support fiber optic cable with SC or ST type connectors. The maximum length for a point-to-point connection is 2 kilometers at full duplex, or 412 meters at half duplex.
