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 is another name for co-axial cable. It has a maximum cable length of 185 meters or 607 ft.
10BaseT is an Ethernet cabling standard. 10BaseT devices can transfer data at a rate of up to 10 Mbps, and use twisted pairs of wires in their Ethernet cabling, as opposed to a coaxial cable. If you see wiring with an RJ-45 plug on the end, you probably have a 10BaseT or backwards-compatible product (such as 100BaseT or 1000BaseT).
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.
100 Meters per segment, a maximum of 5 segments equaling 500 Meters.
10baseT - 10Mbps 100BaseT - 100Mbps GigE - 1000Mbps or 1Gbps 10GigE - 10000Mbps or 10Gbps
It stands for 'twisted pair'. 10BaseT or Ethernet cable consists of two pairs of wires twisted around each other inside an external sheath.
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.
100 Megabits per second
100 meters.
A very few of the expensive ones are. Most of the common types are made in China now.
Fast Ethernet is 10 times faster than 10BaseT, so 45 seconds.
