effective and high-performance networking solutions of the
future.
The Fast Ethernet contains three different cabling
schemes. 100Base-TX for use with category 5 UPT/STP
cable, 100Base-FX for use with Multi-mode fiber-optic
cable, and 100Base-T4 for use with cable 3,4,or 5 UPT
cable.
Among three of them, 100Base-TX is most
compatible to 10Base-T.
existing 10Base-T cabling infrastructure, thus becomes the
most popular Fast Ethernet technology. Gigabit Ethernet
is still in the process of development. Other than supports
higher data transfer speed, this technology also promises
for an easy migration path.

Hub
Hub is a central connection point for wiring the network. It
connects two or more Ethernet segments of any media
type. When transmitting signal begins to deteriorate, which
is caused by the limitation of media length, hub simply
takes the incoming signal and repeats or amplifies it out to
all ports connected. Hub, also called repeater, only allows
users to share Ethernet. Individuals of a shared network
can only get a percentage of the available network
bandwidth, therefore, a network of repeaters also named "
Shared Ethernet " .
