10 Base-T
A UTP cable consisting of four pairs of two wires (8 conductors) each, twisted together into a single unshielded set (the cable is not enclosed in a metallic mesh for blocking electromagnetic noise). Also referred to as a twisted pair cable, it is commonly used for connection in
A cable of this type is capable of carrying unmodulated signal data at the rate of 10 megabits per second over distances of up to 328 feet (100 meters) (with the 10 Mbps base band system).
100 Base-TX
A UTP cable consisting of four pairs of two wires (8 conductors) each, twisted together into a single unshielded set (the cable is not enclosed in a metallic mesh for blocking electromagnetic noise). This is referred to as a twisted pair cable. These cables meet the category 5 specifications for such cables.
A cable of this type is capable of carrying unmodulated signal data at the rate of 100 megabits per second over distances of up to 328 feet (100 meters) (with the 100 Mbps base band system). It is used for connecting to local area networks using fast Ethernet, which operate at speeds in excess of 10 Mbps (data transfer at the rate of 10 megabits per second).
Capacity limit
Limits the amount of drive space that a particular user can use. Also referred to as a quota or disk quota.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
A protocol for easily assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With DHCP, IP addresses can be traced by the software without requiring an administrator to manually manage the task.
