10BASE-T

100BASE-FX 100BASE-TX 1000BASE-SX 1000BASE-T

The IEEE specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over Category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair cable.

The IEEE specification for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet over fiber-optic cable.

The IEEE specification for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet over Category 5 twisted-pair cable.

The IEEE specification for 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet over fiber-optic cable.

The IEEE specification for 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet over Category 5 twisted-pair cable.

Auto-negotiation

A feature that allows twisted-pair ports to advertise their capabilities for speed,

 

duplex and flow control. When connected to a port that also supports auto-

 

negotiation, the link can automatically configure itself to the optimum setup.

Auto Uplink

A feature that allows twisted-pair ports to sense if a normal (MDI-X) or uplink (MDI)

 

connection is necessary and make the right link. It adjusts for straight-through or

 

crossover cables.
