Encyclopedia > 100BaseT

100BASE-T is any of several Fast Ethernet 100 Mbit/s(12.5 MB/s including overhead) CSMA/CD standards for twisted pair cables, including: 100BASE-TX (100 Mbit/s over two-pair Cat5 or better cable), 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbit/s over four-pair Cat3 or better cable, defunct), 100BASE-T2 (100 Mbit/s over two-pair Cat3 or better cable, also defunct). All are or were standards under IEEE 802.3 (approved 1995).


The vast majority of common implementations or installations of 100BASE-T are done with 100BASE-TX.

Networking - 10BaseT/100BaseT "Twisted Pair" Ethernet (2486 words)
Using unshielded twisted pair cabling, as opposed to the coaxial cable used in 10Base2, 10BaseT/100BaseT has allowed a number of advances in networking, such as "switched" ethernet, to be developed, and the introduction of Category 5 cable provides a clear transition path from 10BaseT to higher-speed technologies of the future.
While it is possible to run 10BaseT (but not 100BaseT) ethernet over CAT3 cable, the connectors used for the asynch network were of a different type than is used for 10BaseT, and the cost to retrofit these boxes for 10BaseT makes it uneconomical to attempt to use the existing CAT3 wiring for that.
The original specification for ethernet defined it as a "shared" medium, meaning that all devices attached to an ethernet network were capable of seizing the channel and transmitting at any time, with safeguards engineered to handle situations where two devices attempted to transmit at the same time.
