The network glossary contains explanation or information about common terms used in

wireless networking products. Some of information in this glossary might be outdated,

please use with caution.

100Base-FX

The IEEE standard defines how to transmit Fast Ethernet 100Mbps data using multi-mode

or single fiber optic cable

100Base-TX

Also known as 802.3u. The IEEE standard defines how to transmit Fast Ethernet 100Mbps

using Cat.5 UTP/STP cable. The 100Base-TX standard is backward compatible with the

10Mbps 10-BaseT standard.

1000Base-SX

Also known as 802.3z. The IEEE standard defines how to transmit gigabit Ethernet data

using multi-mode fiber optic cables. This standard allows transmission distance of 550

meter, which is more than 5 times longer than the 100-meter limitation of 1000Base-T. The

1000Base-SX cannot run in 100Mbps mode.

1000Base-LX

The IEEE standard defines how to transmit gigabit Ethernet data using single mode fiber

optic cables. This standard allows transmission distance of 5km or more using single mode

fiber. The 1000Base-LX cannot run in 100Mbps mode.

1000Base-T

Also known 802.3ab standard. The IEEE standard defines how to transmit Gigabit data

through the use of Cat.5 UTP/STP cable. The 1000Base-T can run in 10/100/1000Mbps
