Description

100BASE-T

802.3 (21)

A term for any of the four standards for 100 Mbit/s Ethernet, either over twisted pair cable up to 100 meters long or fiber (strangely enough. The terminology for the family was used because of the huge market popularity of 10BASE-T). Includes 100BASE-TX, 100BASE-FX, 100BASE-T4 and 100BASE-T2. All of them use a star topology.

100BASE-TX

802.3 (24)

4B5B MLT-3 coded signaling, CAT5 copper cabling with two twisted pairs.

100BASE-T4

802.3 (23)

8B6T PAM-3 coded signaling, CAT3 copper cabling (as used for 10BASE-T installations) with four twisted pairs (uses all four pairs in the cable). Now obsolete, as Cat-5 cabling is the norm. Limited to half-duplex.

100BASE-T2

802.3 (32)

No products exist. PAM-5 coded signaling, CAT3 copper cabling with two twisted pairs, star topology. Supports full-duplex. It is functionally equivalent to 100BASE-TX, but supports old telephone cable. However, special sophisticated digital signal processors are required to handle encoding schemes required, making this option fairly expensive at the time. It arrived well after 100BASE-TX was established in the market. the technology developed for 100BASE-T2 was the foundation for 1000BASE-T.

100BASE-FX

802.3 (24)

4B5B NRZI coded signaling, two strands of multi-mode optical fiber. Maximum length is 400 meters for half-duplex connections (to ensure collisions are detected) or 2 kilometers for full-duplex.

100BASE-SX

TIA

100 Mbit/s Ethernet over multi-mode fiber. Maximum length is 300 meters. 100BASE-SX used short wave length (850 nm) optics that was sharable with 10BASE-FL, thus making it possible to have an auto-negotiation scheme and have 10/100 fiber adapters.

100BASE-BX10

Proprietary

100 Mbit/s Ethernet bidirectionally over a single strand of single-mode optical fiber. A multiplexer is used to split transmit and receive signals into different wavelengths allowing them to share the same fiber. Supports up to 10 km.

100BASE-LX10

Proprietary

100 Mbit/s Ethernet up to 10 km over a pair of Single Mode Fibers.

100Base-VG

802.12

Standardized by a different IEEE 802 subgroup, 802.12, because it used a different, more centralized form of media access ("Demand Priority"). Championed by only HP, 100VG-AnyLAN (as was the marketing name) was the earliest in the market. It needed four pairs in a Cat-3 cable. Now obsolete (802.12 has been "inactive" since 1997) the standard has been withdrawn.

All of these use a star topology.

Ethernet over twisted-pair cable

Several varieties of Ethernet were specifically designed to run over 4-pair copper structured cabling already installed in many locations. ANSI recommends using Category 6 cable for new installations[citation needed].

Combining 10Base-T (or 100BASE-TX) with "IEEE 802.3af mode A" allows a hub to transmit both power and data over only two pairs. This was designed to leave the other two pairs free for analog telephone signals[citation needed].

The pins used in "IEEE 802.3af Mode B" supplies power over the "spare" pairs not used by 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX.

In a departure from both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T uses all four cable pairs for simultaneous transmission in both directions through the use of echo cancellation. (Dial-up modems also use echo cancellation to simultaneously transmit data in both directions over a single cable pair).

Ethernet minimum cable lengths

All copper Ethernet segments that run the Collision Detect (CD) portion of CSMA/CD have a minimum cable length to function properly because of reflections. This applies only to 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX standards; The 1000BASE-TX standard is covered at the end of this section.

Fiber connections have minimum cable lengths due to level requirements on received signals.

Fiber ports designed for long-haul wavelengths require a signal attenuator if used within a building.

Industrial Ethernet applications use a star topology with no collisions so that no minimum cable length is required.

1000BASE-TX supports half-duplex mode, making collisions possible. Consequently, the 1000BASE-TX standard requires a minimum cable length for collision detection to function properly; to avoid this in Gigabit Ethernet, small frames are padded into the transmission in half-duplex mode.
