100BaseTX or 100Base-TX

100BaseTX, also known as 100Base-TX, is a 100-Mbps baseband Fast Ethernet specification using two pairs of either UTP or STP wiring, based on 4B/5B signal encoding. The first pair of wires is used to receive data, and the second to transmit data. To guarantee proper signal timing and quality, a 100BaseTX segment cannot exceed 100 meters in length. 100BaseTX is part of the 100BaseX as defined in the IEEE 802.3u standard.

100BaseX or 100Base-X

100BaseX, including 100BaseFX and 100BaseTX, is a 100-Mbps baseband Fast Ethernet specification based on IEEE 802.3 standard using 4B/5B block encoding for Fast Ethernet over fiber-optic cabling (FX) and two pairs (TX).

100VG-AnyLAN

100VG-AnyLAN, originally developed by Hewlett-Packard, is a 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet and Token Ring media technology using four pairs of Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cabling. 100VG-AnyLAN can be made to operate on existing 10BaseT Ethernet networks. 100VG-AnyLAN is defined in the IEEE 802.12 standard.

10Base2 (10Base-2 or 10Base2 Thin)

10Base2, also called Cheapernet or ThinNet, is a 10-Mbps baseband Ethernet specification using a 50-ohm thin coaxial cable. 10Base2, defined in the IEEE 802.3a specification, has a distance limit of 185 meters per segment. 10Base2 is based on Manchester signal encoding transmitted over a thin coaxial cable.

10Base5 (10Base-5 or 10Base Thick)

10Base5, also called ThickNet, is a 10-Mbps baseband Ethernet specification using a standard (thick) 50-ohm baseband coaxial cable. 10Base5, which is part of the IEEE 802.3 baseband physical layer specification, has a distance limit of 500 meters per segment. 10Base5 is based on Manchester signal encoding transmitted

10BaseF or 10Base-F

10BaseF, also known as 10Base-F, is 10 Mbps Ethernet system based on Manchester signal encoding transmitted over fiber optic cable. 10BaseF includes 10BaseFL, 10BaseFB and 10BaseFP and is defined in IEEE 802.3j specification.

Reference Document: IEEE 802.3

10BaseFB or 10Base-FB

10BaseFB, also called as 10Base-FB, is a 10-Mbps baseband Ethernet specification using fiber-optic cabling. 10BaseFB is part of the IEEE 10BaseF specification. It is not used to connect user stations, but instead provides a synchronous signaling backbone that allows additional segments and repeaters to be connected to the network. 10BaseFB segments can be up to 2,000 meters long (1.24 miles).

10BaseFL or 10Base-FL

10BaseFL, also called as 10Base-FL, is a 10-Mbps baseband Ethernet specification using fiber-optic cabling. 10BaseFL is part of the 10BaseF specification and, while able to interoperate with FOIRL, is designed to replace the FOIRL specification. 10BaseFL segments can be up to 1,000 meters long if used with FOIRL, and up to 2,000 meters if 10BaseFL is used exclusively.

10BaseFP or 10Base-FP

10BaseFP, also called 10Base-FP, is a 10-Mbps fiber-passive baseband Ethernet specification using fiber-optic cabling. 10BaseFP is part of the 10BaseF specification. It organizes a number of computers into a star topology without the use of repeaters. 10BaseFP segments can be up to 500 meters long.
