Fast Ethernet Cabling (8650)
Fast Ethernet Cabling
The 100BASE-TX specifications support 100 Mbps transmission over
two or four pairs of twisted-pair Ethernet cabling. In two pair
cabling, one pair of cables is used for transmission, and the second
is used for reception and collision detection.
Because a 125 MHz frequency is used on the wire, 100BASE-TX uses
Category 5 cabling.
Segment lengths are limited to 100 meters (328 feet) with
100BASE-TX for signal timing reasons.
