10BaseT

10-Mbps baseband Ethernet specification using two

 

pairs of twisted-pair cabling, one pair for transmitting

 

data and the other for receiving data. 10BaseT has a

 

distance limit of approximately 328 feet or 100 meters

 

(see Ethernet).

100BaseT

100-Mbps baseband Fast Ethernet specification using

 

UTP wiring. 100BaseT link pulses contain more

 

information than those used in 10BaseT (see Ethernet).

 

 

 

AIT

Advanced Intelligent Tape. Sony tape drive products

 

featuring different capacities and transfer rates: AIT-1–

 

35 GB native capacity, 3 MB/s transfer rate; AIT-2–50

 

GB native capacity, 6 MB/s data transfer rate; AIT-3–

 

100 GB native capacity, 12 MB/s data transfer rate.

AME

Advanced Metal Evaporated. A type of Sony data tapes

 

that use a process which allows larger amounts of tape

 

to be stored in smaller cartridges and maximizes data,

 

while increasing reliability.

 

 

 

Bus

When referring to a computer system, a bus is a

 

collection of wires through which data is transmitted

 

from one part of a computer to another.

 

 

 

CAN

Controller Area Network. The internal bus system on

 

which the library is controlled.
