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.

With DHCP, IP addresses can be traced by the software without requiring an

■ Warning
