- 10BaseT; 100BaseT
- An Ethernet specification that can handle up to 10 mega bits of data per second. 10BaseT Ethernet imposes differing limitations, depending on what type of physical wire is being used and how many stations are attached to the network. For example, the maximum distance a hub can be from a workstation in 10BaseT is 325 feet if using twisted pair cables, but 3,000 feet if using fiber optic cable. Most modern Ethernets are migrating to 100BaseT, which is ten times faster than 10BaseT.
