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
Ethernet-based local area networks.
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).
