10Base-T
The EIA (Electronics Industry Association) recommended Standard
485 defines a standard way of transferring serial information by wire
using differential line drivers and receivers.
A connector used for 10Base-T wiring (unshielded twisted-pair
Ethernet).
A device used to connect two or more networks at the Network layer of
the ISO-OSI reference model. The router must understand the
communication protocols being used because it uses information
provided by the protocols in each packet to determine how to route the
packets.
A segment is a separate collision domain. Each Ethernet segment
supports a 10-Mb/s bandwidth. A multiple segment implementation
increases the bandwidth of a local area network.
Segmentation is the process of dividing a network into multiple
collision domains.
A stack is a group of interconnected repeaters.
IEEE 802.3 standard for twisted-pair Ethernet. 10 Mb/s over baseband
using unshielded, twisted-pair cable.
