Linux 101: Word Alert
This section will refresh you from some terminologies that we always encounter in the web or with Linux. These are the words for this day.
The 10BaseT. Let’s understand this word by learning each term under it. First, 10— this is the frequency in MHz (or Mega Hertz), in short this cable has 10 MHz capability/speed. Secondly, base—is synonymous to Baseband. This is a type of communication used by Ethernet. Lastly, T— refers to Twisted Pair, it is the physical layer that is responsible for the signal.
Physical Layer Specification for Twisted-Pair Ethernet using Unshielded Twisted Pair wire at l0Mbps.This is the most popular type of LAN cable used today because it is very cheap and easy to install. It uses RJ-45 connectors and has a cable length span of up to 100 meters. There are two versions:
STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) which is more expensive
UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair), the most popular cable.
These cables come in 5 different categories. However, only 3 are normally used in LAN5, Category 3,4 and 5. CAT 3 TP (Twisted Pair) cable has a network data transfer rate of up to 10Mbps. CAT 4 TP cable has a network data transfer rate of up to 16Mbps. CAT 5 TP cable has a network data transfer rate of up to 100Mbps.
