    10BaseT The 10-Mbps baseband Ethernet specification that uses two pairs of twisted-pair cabling (Category 3 or 5): one pair for transmitting data and the other for receiving data. ADSL Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line is an asymmetrical technology, meaning that the downstream data rate is much higher than the upstream data rate.
