10BASE-T

IEEE 802.3 specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over two pairs of Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable.

100BASE-BX

IEEE 802.3-2005 specification for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet over one strand of 9/125 micron core fiber cable.

100BASE-FX

IEEE 802.3-2005 specification for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet over two strands of 9/125, 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron core fiber cable.

100BASE-TX

IEEE 802.3u specification for 100 Mbps Ethernet over two pairs of Category 5 UTP cable.

1000BASE-LH

Specification for long-haul Gigabit Ethernet over two strands of 9/125 micron core fiber cable.

1000BASE-LX

Specification for long-haul Gigabit Ethernet over two strands of 50/125, 62.5/125 or 9/125 micron core fiber cable.

1000BASE-SX

IEEE 802.3z specification for Gigabit Ethernet over two strands of 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron core fiber cable.

1000BASE-T

IEEE 802.3ab specification for Gigabit Ethernet over 100-ohm Category 5, 5e or 6 twisted-pair cable (using all four wire pairs).

Auto-Negotiation

Signalling method allowing each node to select its optimum operational mode (e.g., speed and duplex mode) based on the capabilities of the node to which it is connected.

Bandwidth

The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies available for network signals. Also synonymous with wire speed, the actual speed of the data transmission along the cable.
