4.3 Fast Ethernet
100Base-TX and 100Base-FX are called "Fast Ethernet." This is because they use the Ethernet CSMA/CD access rules and data packet structure, but data travels ten times faster (100Mbps) than traditional 10Mbps Ethernet.
Below is a list of the cable types and connectors that supported by Switch for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX.
PORT TYPE | | CABLES TYPE | CONNECTOR |
100BASE-TX | Cat. 5 | UTP only | RJ-45 |
10BASE-T | Cat.3, | 4, 5 UTP | RJ-45 |

In many cases, 10Base-T LANs can quickly and easily upgrade to 100Base-TX networks.
PORT TYPE | CABLES DISTANCE |
10/100BASE-TX | 100m |
