Ethernet over Twisted Pair

Optical fiber as well as the coaxial cable is also used by other standards of the in-discussion Ethernet cable. This physical medium of copper wires is also known as having several different standards but 10BASE-T, 10 Mbit/s, 100BASE-TX, 100 Mbit/s as well as 1000 Mbit/s are recognized as the most widely used standards of this physical medium.

Same connectors are normally used by all the above mentioned standards of this Ethernet over twisted pair cable. The lower speeds of this in-discussion twisted pair cable are normally always supported by the implementations of higher speed. This ability of this physical medium normally allows the equipments of any generation to be mixed freely with each other in an Ethernet network.


The connectors, that are known as modular connectors of 8-position are normally used by this in-discussion Ethernet over twisted pair cable which normally is called or known as RJ45. Usually these RJ45 cables are recognized as twisted pair cable of four pairs which normally are made through 100BASE-TX as well as through 10BASE-T standards. Both half-duplex as well as full-duplex type of communication is normally supported by all the above mentioned three standards of this twisted pair cable type.
