Chapter 7, Problem 12Q

Explanation of Solution

100Base-T:

• • 100Base-T is a network standard that supports data transfer rates up to 100 Mbps.
• • It is based on old Ethernet standard because it is 10 times faster than Ethernet. So, it is also called as “fast Ethernet”.
• • It is also based on carrier-sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) LAN access method.
• • It includes different cabling schemes are,
  • ○ 100Base SE-TX – Two pairs of high-quality twisted pair wires.
  • ○ 100Base SE-T4 – four pairs of normal quality twisted pair wires.
  • ○ 100Base SE-FX – Fiber optic cables.

100Base-F:

• • 100Base-F is a fast fiber optics Ethernet like 10Base-F but supports maximum data transfer rates up to 100 Mbps.
• • It includes different cabling schemes are,
  • ○ 100Base -2 – Thin wire coaxial cable.
  • ○ 100Base - 5 – Thick net coaxial cable.
  • ○ 100Base – T – Twisted pair wire.
  • ○ 100Base -36 – Broadband multi-channel coaxial cable.

1000Base-T:

• • 1000Base-T is a network standard that supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gigabit or 1000 Mbps...
