10baseT network is based on twisted-pair cables, and is characterized by 10mbit/sec throuhput. Taking into account some overhead (additional control bits), it provides an actual data flow speed of around 0.5 to 1mByte/sec.
The maximum distance between two active devices must be less then 100 metres, and it will run on standard Cat3 cabling, using two pairs (of four).
It is a Network Interface Card that connects 10BaseT Networks together A 10BaseT Cable is an Ethernet Cable consisting of 4 pairs of wires 2 for transmitting and 2 for receiving
10baseT networks cords do still exist in 2013. They are considered to be a cheaper alternative to create a LAN network. The flaw in the cord however, is that if there is a small malfunction in part of the cable, then the whole thing will not work.
A lower speed network such as a 10BaseT network can handle 1024 devices per segment; that is not the limitation on the entire network.

Fast Ethernet is 10 times faster than 10BaseT, so 45 seconds.

10BaseT is another name for co-axial cable. It has a maximum cable length of 185 meters or 607 ft.
Cat 2 cable was rated at 4 or 16 mbps whereas cat 3 cable would be rated at 10 mbps. Since 10baseT networks with Ethernet ran at 10 mbps this meant that cat 2 cable would not be useable in those networks. The minimum category cable for those networks had to be at least a cat 3 cable.
