10Mbps Networking
Standard Cable Type Segment Length Connector Topology IEEE Standard 10Base2 Thin Coaxial 185 meters BNC Physical bus 803.2a 10BaseT Category 3, 4, 5 twisted pair 100 meters RJ-45 Physical star 10BaseFL Fiber-optic 2000 meters SC/ST Physical star

Notes on 10Base2
10Base2 networks follow the 5-4-3 rule whereby there is a maximun of 5 network segments allowed, using a maximum of 4 repeaters. Only 3 of the 5 permitted segments may be populated. Each populated 10Base2 segment is limited to a maximum of 30 attached nodes.

Notes on 10BaseT
10BaseT networks follow the 5-4-5 rule whereby there is a maximum of 5 network segments allowed, using a maximum of 4 repeaters. All 5 segments may be populated with nodes.

Fast Ethernet Networking

Fast Ethernet defines a group of stnadards for networking speed of 100 Mbps Standard Cable Type Segment Length Connector Topology IEEE Standard 100BaseTX Category 5 UTP 100 meters RJ-45 Physical Star 802.3u 100BaseT4 Category 3, 4, 5 UTP 100 meters RJ-45 Physical Star 802.3u Multimode 412 meters / Multimode fiber 100BaseFX SC, ST Physical Star 802.3u Single-mode fiber-optic 10000 meters / Single-mode fiber Fiber Optic / FDDI 2000 meters SC, ST Dual Ring ANSI FDDI Twisted Pair (CDDI)
