10BASE-T
IEEE 802.3 specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over two pairs of Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable.
100BASE-FX
IEEE 802.3 specification for 100 Mbps Ethernet over two strands of 50/125, 62.5/125 micron, or
9/125 micron core fiber cable.

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.
