| A 100-Mbps baseband Fast Ethernet specification that uses two pair of UTP or STP wiring. Like the 10BASE-T technology on which it is based, 100BASE-T sends link pulses over the network segment when no traffic is present. However, these link pulses contain more information than those used in 10BASE-T. Based on the IEEE 802.3 standard. See also 10BASE-T, Fast Ethernet, and IEEE 802.3.and Fast Ethernet specification that refers to the 100BASE-FX and 100BASE-TX standards for Fast Ethernet over fiber-optic cabling. Based on the IEEE 802.3 standard. See also 100BASE-FX, Fast Ethernet, and IEEE 802.3. |
