🗑
10GBase-LR   show
🗑

🗑
show A Physical layer standard for achieving 10-Gbps data transmission over multimode fiber using wavelengths of 850 nanometers. The maximum segment length for 10GBase-SR can reach up to 300 meters.  
🗑
show A variation of the 10GBase-SR standard that is specially encoded to operate over SONET WAN links.  
🗑
10GBase-T A   show
🗑
100Base-FX   show
🗑
show A Physical layer standard for networks that specifies baseband transmission, twisted pair cabling, and 100-Mbps throughput. 100Base-T is also known as Fast Ethernet.  
🗑
100Base-TX   show
🗑
1000Base-LX   show
🗑
show A Physical layer standard that specifies 1-Gbps transmission over fiber-optic cable using baseband transmission. 1000Base-SX runs on multimode fiber. Its maximum segment length is 550 meters. The SX represents its reliance on short wavelengths  
🗑
show A Physical layer standard for achieving 1 Gbps over UTP. 1000Base-T achieves its higher throughput by using all four pairs of wires in a Cat 5 or higher twisted pair cable to both transmit and receive signals.  
🗑
5-4-3 rule   show
🗑
show The IEEE standard that describes 1000Base-T, a 1-Gigabit Ethernet technology that runs over four pairs of Cat 5 or better cable.  
🗑
show The IEEE standard that describes 10-Gigabit Ethernet technologies, including 10GBase-SR, 10GBase-SW, 10GBase-LR, 10GBase-LW, 10GBase-ER, and 10GBase-EW.  
🗑
show The IEEE standard that specifies a way of supplying electrical Power over Ethernet (PoE). 802.3af requires Cat 5 or better UTP or STP cabling and uses power sourcing equipment to supply current over a wire pair to powered devices.  
🗑
show The IEEE standard published in 2006 that describes 10GBase-T, a 10-Gbps Ethernet technology that runs on Cat 6 or Cat 7 twisted pair cable.  
🗑
show The IEEE standard that describes Fast Ethernet technologies, including 100Base-TX.  
🗑
show The IEEE standard that describes 1000Base (or 1-Gigabit) Ethernet technologies, including 1000Base-LX and 1000Base-SX.  
🗑
show A network’s method of controlling how nodes access the communications channel. For example, CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) is the access method specified in the IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) standard.  
🗑
active topology   show
🗑
show Logically grouped network nodes that can communicate directly via broadcast transmissions. For example, all nodes connected to a single hub and all nodes that participate in a bus-topology network belong to a single broadcast domain.  
🗑
show The single cable connecting all devices in a bus topology.  
🗑
show A topology in which a single cable connects all nodes on a network without intervening connectivity devices.  
🗑
Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection   show
🗑
circuit switching   show
🗑
collapsed backbone   show
🗑
collision   show
🗑
show The portion of an Ethernet network in which collisions could occur if two nodes transmit data at the same time.  
🗑
show A network access method specified for use by IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) networks. In CSMA/CD, each node waits its turn before transmitting data to avoid interfering with other nodes’ transmissions.  
🗑
daisy chain   show
🗑
data propagation delay   show
🗑
distributed backbone   show
🗑
enterprise   show
🗑
show The original Ethernet frame type developed by Digital, Intel, and Xerox, before the IEEE began to standardize Ethernet.  
🗑
show A type of Ethernet network that is capable of 100-Mbps throughput. 100Base-T and 100Base-FX are both examples of Fast Ethernet.  
🗑
fault tolerance   show
🗑
show A type of Ethernet network that is capable of 1000-Mbps, or 1-Gbps, throughput.  
🗑
hybrid topology   show
🗑
jamming   show
🗑
logical topology   show
🗑
show A type of switching in which a connection is established between two devices in the connection path; one device transfers data to the second device, then breaks the connection.  
🗑
MPLS (multiprotocol label switching)   show
🗑
modal bandwidth   show
🗑
multiprotocol label switching   show
🗑
show A type of switching in which data is broken into packets before it is transported. In packet switching, packets can travel any path on the network to their destination, because each packet contains a destination address and sequencing information.  
🗑
show The bytes added to the data (or information) portion of an Ethernet frame to ensure this field is at least 46 bytes in size. Padding has no effect on the data carried by the frame.  
🗑
parallel backbone   show
🗑
show A network topology in which each node passively listens for, then accepts, data directed to it. A bus topology is considered a passive topology.  
🗑
show On a network using Power over Ethernet, a node that receives power from power sourcing equipment.  
🗑
physical topology   show
🗑
show A method of delivering current to devices using Ethernet connection cables.  
🗑
preamble   show
🗑
PSE (power sourcing equipment)   show
🗑
QoS (quality of service)   show
🗑
show See QoS.  
🗑
show A network layout in which each node is connected to the two nearest nodes so that the entire network forms a circle. Data is transmitted unidirectionally around the ring.  
🗑
show A type of backbone that consists of two or more internetworking devices connected to each other by a single cable in a daisy chain. Hubs are often connected in this way to extend a network.  
🗑
show A 1-byte field that indicates where the data field begins in an Ethernet frame.  
🗑
show A phenomenon, caused by improper termination on a bus-topology network, in which signals travel endlessly between the two ends of the network, preventing new signals from getting through.  
🗑
show A physical topology in which every node on the network is connected through a central device, such as a hub. Any single physical wire on a star network connects only two devices, so a cabling problem will affect only two nodes.  
🗑
show A hybrid topology in which groups of workstations are connected in a star fashion to hubs that are networked via a single bus.  
🗑
star-wired ring topology   show
🗑
show A component of a network’s logical topology that manages how packets are filtered and forwarded between nodes on the network.  
🗑
terminator   show
🗑
  show
🗑
