Network + Guide to Networks, Chapter 5,cable Standards

Physical layer standard for networks that specifies baseband transmission twisted pair media and 10- Mbps throughput its networks have a maximum segment length of 100 meters and rely on a star topology

Physical layer standard for achieving 10-Gbps data transmission over single-mode, fiber optic cable IN this the ER stands for extended reach therefor this standard specifies a star topology and segment lengths up to 40 kilometers

Variation of the 10GBase standard thaat is specially encoded to operate over SONET WAN links

Physical layer standard ofr achieving 10 Gbps data transmission over single-mode, fiber-optic cable using wavelength of 1310 nanometers LR stands for long reach. This stand specifies a star topology and segment lengths up to 10 kilometers

Variation of the 10GBase-LR standard that is specially encoded to operate over SONET WAN LINKS

Physical layer standard for achieving 10 Gbps data transmission over multimode fiber using wavelengths of 850 nanometer. the maximum segment length it can reach is up to 300 meters depending on the fiber core diameter and modal bandwidth used.

Variation of the 10GBase-SR standard that is specially encoded to operate over SONET(synchronous optical networks) WAN links

Physical layer standard for achieving 10-Gbps data transmission over twisted pair cable. kDescribed in its 2006 standard 802.3an. IEEE specifies Cat6 or Cat 7 cable as the appropriate medium for it the max length for it is 100 meters

Physical layer standard for networks that specifies baseband transmission multimode fiber cabling and 100-Mbps throughput. Its networks have a maximum segment length of 2000 meters also called fast ethernet

Physical layer standard for networks that specifies baseband transmission,twisted pair cabling and 100 Mbps throughput Its networks have a max segment length of 100 meter and use the star topology also known as fast ethernet

A type of 100Base-T network that uses two wire pairs in a twisted pair cable but uses faster signaling to achieve 100-Mbps throughput. it is capable of jull duplex transmission and requires Cat 5 or higher cable

Physical layer standard for networks that specifies1-Gbps transmissions over fiber-optic cable using baseband transmission. It can run on either single-mode or multimode fiber LX represents its reliance on long wavelength of 1300 nanometers.It can extend to a5000 meter segment lengths using single mode, fiber optic cable. Its networks can use one repeater between segments

Physical layer standard for networks that specifies1-Gbps transmissions over fiber-optic cable using baseband transmissions. It runs on mulitimode fiber. max segment length is 550 meters SX represents its reliance on short wavelengths of 850 nanometers it can use one repeater

Physical layer standard for achieving 1 Gbps cover UTP it achieves it higher throughput by using all four pairs of wires in a Cat 5 or higher cable to both transmit and receive signals its also uses a different data encoding scheme than that used by other UTP physical layer specifications.

A guideline for 10 Mbps ethernet networks stating that between 2 communicating nodes, the network cannot contain more than 5 network segments connecting by 4 repeating devices and no more then 3 of the segments may be populated
