Network Diameter

Glossary

units of MHz per km, which indicates the amount of bandwidth supported by the fiber for a one km distance.

Network Diameter

Wire distance between two end stations in the same collision domain.

Redundant Power Supply (RPS)

A backup power supply unit that automatically takes over in case the primary power supply should fail.

RJ-45 Connector

A connector for twisted-pair wiring.

Switched Ports

Ports that are on separate collision domains or LAN segments.

TIA

Telecommunications Industry Association

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

Protocol suite that includes TCP as the primary transport protocol, and IP as the network layer protocol.

UTP

Unshielded twisted-pair cable.

Virtual LAN (VLAN)

A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share the same collision domain regardless of their physical location or connection point in the network. A VLAN serves as a logical workgroup with no physical barriers, allowing users to share information and resources as though located on the same LAN.
